What do you think of that Moody LP, kh?

I've never heard it.

The tunes are split between James Moody compositions and those of Tom McIntosh. It's not a straight ahead jazz record. There are two guitarists and electric keyboards. A product of its times, I suppose, the album is an odd mixture; Moody sounds terrific, particularly on flute. I liked about half of the record; disliked the other half (mostly because of awful vocals on several tracks). Basically about half a good record; the rest better to skip on CD version if there is one.

Thanks for sharing your impressions. :tup

Been ripping my new LP - L'archange du Manding, by Kade Diawara

R-8273800-1477406438-3713.jpeg.jpg

Pretty nice - a bit noisy but not so bad it spoils the pleasure of listening to very traditional Djeliya.

Followed it up with something completely different - Lionel Hampton - Flying home. This is the 1954 version, recorded for Clef. The LP I have is a compilation of tracks that were issued on two earlier Clef LPs which were imaginatively called 'The Lionel Hampton Quintet' and 'The Lionel Hampton Quartet/Quintet'

Bunky Green, Transformation (Vanguard)

This is going to come out wrong - but that's an awful pop/jazz album that's a great subversive pop/jazz album. Bunky's bizarre intro to "Feelings" is worth the price of admission.

I love Bunky Green.

I cannot disagree.
