You might come for the Al Cohn, but don't be surprised if you come back for the David Tudor.

Terrific record reissued as a Hat cd.

 

[JSngry]

I've had the HAT Cd for a while now, but seeing this LP for $3.99 (and in good shape no less!), had to get it as an "object", even if it has the Esoteric/Counterpoint label. That cover photo/design is wondermous!

[Chuck Nessa]

Continuing with my Bud Freeman lps -

Side 2 of this one is a Freeman trio with Dave Bowman and Don Lamond.

[HutchFan]

LP 2 - with brother Tommy, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Clark, et al from October '62

Glorious.

Crazy that music from this session sat on the shelf until 1978!

Cannonball Adderley - WHY AM I TREATED SO BAD?

Picked it up last summer in a garage sale in Bristol,RI. Paid a cool dollar. This was the only jazz album they had. Also bought there what I believe to be a genuine Persian rug, for $3. Anyone knows antique rugs ?

It’s an excellent, even, quality album from 1967, wish it were recorded better. CD version has 2 bonus tracks. Haven’t heard them. It still has shrink wrap plastic with a discounted price sticker, cover is hole-punched, the punch hole is inside the plastic, which wasn’t punctured. Hole- punched in the Capitol warehouse, and sold to a discounter, and wrapped later?

Archie Shepp - Attica Blues Big Band, Live At The Palais Des Glaces

tremendous (thanks to Pim for not liking it enough to part with it)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Just finished: 80th Anniversary version of Art Blakey - Indestructible. Now playing: David Schnitter - Goliath (Muse)

Two things... First, WTF is up with this cover? Am I missing something here? Is he supposed to be praying to his saxophone to help save him from those sheep? Second, why does bass sound so terrible from this short period of time in Jazz? McBee's bass sound is so whiny. It's like a big mosquito buzzing around my head.

A nice 2LP set, that one. 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Now playing: Louis Hayes - Breath Of Life (Muse). This is an interesting date. It moves outside of where I thought Louis would go. It's not free but it's not your typical hard bop date either.

Obrador - More Odd Jobs

 

bought on the strength of Bert Wilson being involved...and it has exceeded expectations!

[HutchFan]

Arrived in the mail this evening:

Sounds great.

I suppose he's playing with the idea of praying over the Christ-child in a manger scene.

But, yeah, it is strange.  ... Especially considering the title of the album.  He's got the whole David & Goliath thing going with that.  But that doesn't really tie in with the "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed" angle.  Schnitter's mixing up his biblical allusions in all sorts of ways.

Like this one and have it naturally

[sidewinder]

Interesting fact - Top Rank actually did a UK release of JR Monterose ‘The Message’. Mythically rare.

Again:

Fun to hear how the quintet's rendition of Zawinul's "74 Miles Away" anticipates Weather Report. 

On other pieces, the connection isn't immediately obvious.  On this cut, it is.

one of my favourite Freeman LPs

[jcam_44]

Carpet Patrol

[Pim]

 

A dream line-up with Cecil Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Cecil McBee and Joe Chambers. The record is good but nothing mind-blowing. Rest in peace mr. Gumbs: you will be missed.

[jazzcorner]

Sorry its CD's but nevertheless  the best Kenton band in the 1950ies IMHO.

Eric Kloss - Essence (Muse). I swear that Buster Williams is playing an electric bass but it could just be the way they recorded it. Pianist Mickey Tucker is listed with "appears courtesy of Bluenote Records". Tucker never recorded as a leader for Blue Note Records that I am aware of. Was there a Bluenote Records as well?  

As I listen to this, I am reminded that I'm not a huge Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson fan.

There is a thread for that too

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Next up - Booker Ervin - The In Between (Blue Note). Not my favorite Ervin date but it has it's moments. One of the few records I have with Bobby Few at the keys.
