Sure that´s good stuff , the last Monk in studio I think. But a most annoying thing is cover photos of artists from other periods. I think this might be a young Monk douring the time he played at Minton´s , far away from the time he would travel the world, play in London. I noticed this very often, also vice versa: Early recordings of an artists, but the cover photo the aged artist..... Quote

porcy62 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Never loved The Cream too much, I prefer other cats of this stuff Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 I got into them in a big way about 15 years ago, still like them quite a bit though often I wish George Harrison was the guitarist instead. Quote
porcy62 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 I prefer John Mayall because its blues flavour or Led Zeppelin Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Wilson Picket - Hey Jude (Atlantic). Some fiery Duane Allman guitar playing is scattered through this fine album. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Albert Ayler - The Last Album (Impulse). This LP is kind of a mess - it's basically the outtakes from Music is the Healing Force of the Universe. But I wouldn't want to be without "Water Music" - just beautiful, and some of my favorite late Ayler. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 What's New!!! Sonny Stitt Plays the Varitone (Roulette mono). The price was right - free. And Stitt burns here. But he burns on the crude 1960s electronically enhanced saxophone. On the other hand, there are some nice cameos by J.J. Johnson, Mike Mainieri, Joe Wilder, etc. Verdict: I keep it for now, but it will not survive the Great Album Purge when I move across the country in seven or eight years. Quote

Great album which opened the gates for Duane Allman to Atlantic .... btw a bunch of great deep soul tracks aka "Back In Your Arms", "A Man And A Half" and "Search Yout Heart" on offer .... Quote

Legends of Acid Jazz... What were they thinking with that series name? Terrible name but it was used to put out some great music that might not have made it out of the vaults otherwise. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Undoubtedly they were thinking "Let's get our marketing team to exploit the buzz over Acid Jazz at the moment". As horrible as the genre name may be it was certainly very noticeable here in the UK in the late 80s (tapping into the Acid House club scene). A successful record label with the name was bringing many new ears to Jazz and Jazz influenced music. Clubs, like Dingwalls, had people dancing to Jazz again!! A very vibrant scene ripe for some marketing exploitation and the rebranding of some famous Jazz recordings that were once again club floor fillers. Great times, maybe not for the purist but certainly more purists were born from this time. Similar things happening in London now, again exciting and surprise, surprise once again upsetting the "that's not proper Jazz" brigade. They haven't yet found the marketing label for this upsurge. They will. Quote

They will. I skimmed the Acid Jazz scene a few times, picking up CDs from A Tribe Called Quest, Us3 & Buckshot LeFonque (Branford Marsalis). I have no problem with it or that particular term to describe it. What I don't understand is that they chose to co-opt late 60's/early 70's funky soul as a branch of it. Shirley Scott's "Hip Soul" was just what the title said it was - Hip Soul. Sure, you could dance to it, but I doubt this was getting cranked up at the dance clubs back in the day. Quote

London's weird like that Lots of the organ groups were alongside the Jaz Messengers, Lee Morgan...you get the picture. Sometimes as scene setting but most often as dance tunes. There were dance troupes specifically formed to dance to Jazz at the clubs in the scene. Quote
