Clare Fischer - Jazz Song (Revelation)

Solo piano; recorded in 1973 but not released until 1979.

Amazing.

Duke Ellington, Newport Jazz Festival, July 4, 1959 (Foxey). The cover is like the White Album. Variable sound but a lively and interesting performance. I wonder if this has ever had a more legitimate release?

Perhaps this EmArcy disc?

That looks like part of what's on the double album--most of the instrumental tracks, leaving out the vocal tracks with two vocalists (the omitted Jimmy Rushing tracks are quite good).

Hmm, every time I struggle again with the poem by Ralph J. Gleason.

The Watts Towers were a godsend to jazz album cover designers.

Took a detour once to check them out in person. Quite memorable !

The Coltrane album is a definite ‘find’ - some lovely music on there, albeit short tracks - and in RVGs superb mono sound. Vinyl version recommended !

Too bad about the side 2 of the pressing - clicks and pops. Without that issue, an excellent release. Probably better vinyl quality than the original A&M Horizon too (which were on the thin side, typical of that vintage).

That's a nice one. Recall that the tracks were labelled in the wrong order on my copy.

[kh1958]

Jelly Roll Morton, Classic Piano Solos (Riverside)

Fletcher Henderson, A Study in Frustration (Columbia)

[Gheorghe]

Great music , but I remember before I purchased it I read Bill Coles´ Miles Davis biography and he wrote it off, saying that it´s "an insult on the intellect of the people", but ...... he was wrong, it´s great.

That font - and the monochrome - almost looks like a Mosaic.

Hadn't thought of that. But you're right.

Only it wouldn't be "crooked"!

NP:

I wonder: Why the extra "e" at the end of Newborn? ... Don't they know it's bad form to misspell a musician's name on his own record!

with Muhal Richard Abrams on electric piano and Rufus Reid on bass

John Lewis & Svend Asmussen - European Encounter (Atlantic, 1962)
Jazzlore series reissue

Years ago, I had the cassette tape version of this release. It's long gone. But I recently found a still-sealed copy of the LP for a couple bucks. ... Nice to hear it again.
