Milford Graves - Percussion Ensemble.

R-1451172-1226737105.jpeg.jpg

Easily my favourite solo percussion album from before the later 70s. 

Sonny's Time Now - Sunny Murray

R-1532940-1226565163.jpeg.jpg

A great first side: one of the best Ayler records out there, albeit it's under Sunny's name. I've never been all that happy with the second side. 

Clifford Jordan - In The World.

R-4444957-1434442803-3210.jpeg.jpg

This is one of my favourite straight ahead dates (if you can call it that) from the 70s. It has a real epic quality to it, with great compositions and good solos from a cracking group of musicians. In hindsight it seems crazy the sort of star quality that could be called upon at the time for a record that I believe sunk more or less without a trace commercially.

Sadly, I don't have the original sleeve but instead a rather dopey Polydor version.

Motion by Lee Konitz. 

R-712333-1470095707-5643.jpeg.jpg

This is certainly one that I prefer in the original vinyl mix, where Lee and Sonny Dallas are right up front.  The digital versions correct that and bring the drums forward, but at the same time makes it harder to follow. Konitz is beautiful throughout, and I love Elvin on "All of Me" in particular.

I'm a big fan of that Jordan too, like it more than the hallowed 'Glass Bead Games'. Also own the 'dopey but considerably cheaper' Polydor version, the art department must have been on holiday or on something that day.

I need to get the Murray out again soon too

Terumasa Hino - Love Nature [Octave Lab/Ultra-Vybe]

reissue sounds good but an odd decision not to replicate the original sleeve's player/recording credits
