Indeed, and a great balm for the troubles of the world they are too.  I need to dive into the pool more often.  I particularly like his recordings with Larry Young whoever's the leader.

I’m enjoying him on Big John Patton’s Got A Good Thing Goin’ On right now. I don’t want to exaggerate, but it just might be the greatest human artistic endeavour of all time.

Yes, I read your blog about it, thanks.

I'd discovered Jefferson through the fabulous Choir album reissued by Sam Records so was looking for others by him. BH's presence sealed the deal on this one.  Nice session, LP's a bit battered but we'll get along together I think.

Oh, that's cool.

I have that Lake somewhere too, many moons since I've had it on the TT though

It's a good one, isn't it?!

Listening to Sides C & D, originally released as ...

No. I'd have noticed the name Don Ralke because he arranged 'Jennie Lee' by Jan & Arnie, which was THE anarchic Mr Bass Man recording. And if I'd seen it, I'd have snapped it up to see if this was wildly anarchic. Bet it isn't

Listening again to Bongo Madness.  It is for the most part more minimalist, moody, and abstract than Jazz Heat Bongo Beat.  It is kind of similar to Sabu's Sorcery and Safari albums.  Buddy does a lot of extended solos over hypnotic patterns.

I remember when I stumbled across that album at a store in south Florida.  About $20, VG+, Liberty issue. Had no idea if it was a fair price but at that time I considered $20-25 an OK price for things I knew I really wanted, and no doubt this qualified.  It was definitely long before internet shopping or discogs took over so much of my purchases.

Another interesting female voice with a personal touch (probably not for every vocal fan)
is Astrud Gilberto

Friedholm Schönfeld - s/t [Amiga, GDR 1978]

First listen, interesting

Now spinning:

Eddie Palmieri - Timeless: Live Recording (Coco, 1981)

 

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Art Pepper - One September Afternoon (Galaxy, 1981)

 

[HutchFan]

Now:

Johnny Hodges - Previously Unreleased Recordings (Verve, 1974)
with Barry Galbraith (g), Lalo Schifrin (p), George Duvivier (b), and Dave Bailey (d); recorded in 1963

Since he's the sole horn on this LP, Hodges' sound is very prominent.  Very nice... and a bit unusual too.  In fact, the only other Hodges record that I can think of with this exact instrumentation is Stride Right with Earl Hines.

Donald Byrd - I'm Tryin' To Get Home [Blue Note, 1965 NY stereo]

the choir seems to annoy a lot of online commentary, not me

[mjazzg]

Big John Patton - Got A Good Thing Goin' [Blue Note, 1966, mono]

possibly "the greatest human artistic endeavour of all time."  @Rabshakeh 

It's sounding mighty fine on first spin
