HutchFan Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Sonny Stitt - Sonny's Back (Muse, 1980) Another terrific Sonny Stitt - Barry Harris collaboration. Meat and potatoes? Yes. Delicious? Yes. Quote
HutchFan Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 NP: Al Grey / Jimmy Forrest - O.D. (Out 'Dere) (Greyforrest, 1980) with Don Patterson on organ The Magnificent Goldberg hipped me to this LP. It was on one of his lists of Soul Jazz favorites. Quote

Meat and potatoes? Yes. Delicious? Yes. What I like about that one is how Stitt reflexively kicks it up a notch on the cuts with Ricky Ford. Stitt was a battler to the end, and quite possibly by nature. Quote

NP: Illinois Jacquet - S/T (Jazz Reactivation) This LP is a UK reissue of Desert Winds (Argo, 1964) with Kenny Burrell. Found it recently on Discogs for a couple bucks -- not quid, like the sticker says. Quote

I remember buying and being very excited, not least as it was difficult to get over here at the time and it was a dream line-up for me in my earlier Jazz listening years.. I listened to it again a few months ago for the first time in years and thought it sounded of its time but good of its time Quote

I listened to it again a few months ago for the first time in years and thought it sounded of its time but good of its time I like Audio Visualscapes very much. It is, as you say, "of its time but good of its time." Also, I like that DeJohnette was trying to stretch boundaries. It seems like a lot of jazz -- especially jazz from the 1980s -- observes an unwritten rule that its got to be "acoustic" to be legit. Perhaps during the 80s this stance was in reaction to the widely-held perception that jazz in the 70s was dominated electric instruments & unswinging fusion. Of course, I don't buy that narrative (on many levels) -- and it appears that DeJohnette didn't either. Quote
