It's the early Mangione that I go for and the company he kept - particularly Nistico.

Same here.

Candid DG mono

Yesterday and today, I've been listening to LPs that I've accumulated over the last few months that I haven't played yet. A disparate bunch!

One of the more unlikely Sam Rivers sessions - but he fits in brilliantly. Same with that successor release on Novus too. I’ll dig both of these out later on.

I give it at least 4 thumbs ! As good as any Blue Note of the period IMO. That Felix Krull guy was damned good.

He is sporting a fine pompadour.

I wonder if Haig wanted to be one of the Pharaohs.

More breathtaking solo-piano artistry.

No, Bill watrous had the best haircut of the bunch:

 

 

Not forgetting Sonny, of course:

[HutchFan]

Mitchell-Ruff Duo - Appearing Nightly (Roulette, 1958)
The choice of a campy, "space alien" cover illustration is odd. I suppose it's just a reflection of the times; there's no relationship to the music.

 

 

Sheila Jordan/Harvie Swartz Duo - Old Time Feeling (PAJ)
Superb -- both the singing & accompaniment.

 

 

[HutchFan]

Jimmie Rowles - Grandpaws (Choice, 1976)
with Buster Williams & Billy Hart

An excellent trio session with typically sub-par Choice sound.  I prefer this LP over Paws That Refresh, the second Choice LP derived from the same March 1976 session. 

 

and

Frank Capp / Nat Pierce Orchestra - Juggernaut (Concord, 1977)
Another recent dollar-bin find.  Enjoyable.

 

[HutchFan]

Jeremy Steig - Wayfaring Stranger (Blue Note)
Along with Steig, Eddie Gomez and Don Alias are MONSTERS here. This is one of Steig's best records, IMO.

 

and

Jan Garbarek Group - Photo with Blue Sky, White Cloud, Wires, Windows and a Red Roof (ECM)
I dig this LP, but I think that the record that preceded it -- Places -- is even better.

 

and

Michel Petrucciani - Oracle's Destiny: Big Sur, California (Owl)
Lovely.
