Basil Kirchin - Everyday Madness [Trunk Records]

a title for our times. Two tape pieces and a very nice Jazz suite. Recommended.

b) Pacific Jazz 7243 5 24567 2 7 - Chico Hamilton with Eric Dolphy " The Original Ellington Suite" - rec. 1958
Featuring
Eric Dolpy *(fl, cl, as) / Nathan Gershman (cello) / John Pisano (g) / Hal Gaylor (b) / Chico Hamilton (dr)

More Rainbow Series goodness, every bit as good or better than some stuff that was issued at the time (see the album of ST with Less McCann upthread), Alfred apparently though about issuing part of this along with part of another unissued session with Blue Mitchell and Herbie Hancock from the same period - maybe Blue Note should do exact recreations of some of these woulda/coulda/should've beens?  Must say I do prefer the rendition of "Can't Buy Me Love" from wife Shirley's live date, also pictured upthread.

It never was reissued on CD. Quincy Jones arrangements, great sound, though a tad on the commercial side, musically, like Quincy's LPs of the time.

Now playing:

Some trios from this.

See, that's how it goes, Watkins played in Quincy's bands, Quincy got his a record date where the product would be conceivably market-friendly(ish), and everybody got paid, no doubt, as well as some profile. Basic business, survival in the system at hand.

No, it does not serve art in the least. But it's not supposed to.

Somewhat incredibly it [French Horns for My Lady] is on iTunes and Spotify.  Now whether the right people are being credited/reimbursed, that I do not know... 

But it is definitely worth a stream tonight...

I have that and his other Columbia album on CD - nice stuff, great accompanists.

Still have that LP. My first encounter with Turkish music, and with Roy Ayers, who had one of the greatest vibes sounds and grooviest playing conceptions ever.

Just a club date by a working band, probably a lot of it set routines, but dammit, there was nothing routine about Earl Hines, even the routines.
