Very fine (and somewhat overlooked) date.

Booker Ervin's & John Handy's sax playing on "No Private Income Blues"!  Doesn't get any better than that!

Amen!

Now spinning:

McCoy Tyner - Passion Dance (Milestone, 1979) 
with Ron Carter & Tony Williams

I wish McCoy would've recorded more with Tony.  I think they're supremely well-suited to each other.  Tyner is one of the few pianists/musicians whose drive and power is every bit the equal of Williams'.  But IIRC their only collaborations are Passion Dance, Counterpoints (a companion disc from the same concert), and Supertrios. 

Am I missing anything?

On to the second disc from the same concert:

My version of this is actually a CD, not an LP -- but I'm posting it here for continuity's sake.

Max Roach/Archie Shepp - Force (Uniteledis)

[paul secor]

Reading Joachim-Ernst Berendt's liner notes, I came across: "The most fluent of the early jazz clarinet players was not the overrated Sidney Bechet, but Albert Nicholas …." Leaving Albert Nicholas aside, the "overrated" comment about Sidney Bechet is one of the most ignorant things I've ever read (even granting that Bechet's main horn was soprano). I stopped reading the notes at that point.

Another one to listen to again, along with The Long March.

I have that album, but don't remember that from the notes. That's really horrifyingly dumb.

Stan Getz - At Montreux (Polydor). The "Captain Marvel" band live in 1972. I don't believe this has ever been issued in the US, except in video form on a DVD with really awful sound. I bought this record in a little record shop near Lila Torg (Little Square) in Malmö , Sweden.

Now for something completely different:

Sly & the Family Stone - Greatest Hits (Epic). I haven't listened to Sly in years, but just found this near-mint LP, and I'm having a blast spinning it.

The Joe Daley Trio - At Newport '63 [RCA Victor]

first listen to today's arrival. Purchased simply because I've read so much about it on this board over the last few years and thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about!

 Clare Fischer————Music inspired by the Kinetic Sculptures of Don  Conard Mobiles————-(CF Records)

Think Sun Ra soloing on a synth and you pretty much get the idea of what’s on offer here. CF Records seems to be a part of Revelation Records judging by the text on the sleeve. This and Great White Hope! offer up a very different side to the adventurous Fischer.

That sounds intriguing to say the least.

Good to have you posting again. You've been missed

Yep, I love the slow tempos on this one and the interplay between Monk and Trane.

I'd like to hear that. Sounds fascinating. I have most of Fischer's LPs, but not that one.

I would love for Mosaic to produce a set that rounds up Fischer's Revelation recordings. They deserve wider exposure, IMO. . . From a commercial point of view, I suppose such a set wouldn't be viable for Mosaic. But I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks. I picked up a bunch of Fischer sides on Revelation/MPS and Discovery (jazzhouserecords.co.uk) 

Some solo stuff, lots with Gary Foster and his sort of Latin group- Salsa Picante. There’s not a dud amongst them.

Dexter Gordon - Gotham City (Columbia)

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

this just went up on ebay- what the hell is it, which of the hell of you will buy it?

I've enjoyed Masuo's playing on Sadao Watanabe-related records.
