I know it's pathetically unhip. It's also the reason I have so much free time. BTW; I tried Apple Music (on my IPhone) and AllMusic for art, but this album is as nonexistent as the golden fleece. jk Select image of size about 600x600 from Google images. Copy image address.

jazzbo Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yesterday before shutting down the system I spun two Lateef LPs as I had realized that I had been neglecting his work this year. "The Centaur and the Phoenix" Riverside. This one is mostly a great Ellington burger with some Mingus special sauce spread over some of it. Fascinating record I can listen to over and over. "Into Something" New Jazz This one is just a great quartet date with three great supporting artists. Barry Harris is excellent here on the tracks he participates. Wonderful solos, great control of the tempo and mood. Elvin is of course. . . propulsive and commanding attention. And Herman Wright is just so perfect for this group in tone and swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon King Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 BillF — your tech advice, for my info, is exactly what I hadn’t ever dabbled with. Thanks kindly, can’t wait to use that approach to post.  jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 You might well have better luck (and even more free time!) by using Discogs for your "go to" place for images. They will have front and back covers, as well as different versions of the same record. That Spoon album is here: https://www.discogs.com/release/2593513-Jimmy-Witherspoon-Sings-The-Blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon King Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 JSngry — I’ll try Discogs for missing artwork, too.  In fact, I’m new to Discogs altogether!  Appreciate your advice. jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hubbard concert is available in video on YouTube but it is nice to listen to it in good sound. Dustygroove has come through for me with a copy of the Freddie Hubbard.

I saw Jimmy Witherspoon once in 1985 and it was a most interesting group, it also had Dee Dee Bridgewater , on piano was the Germany born but live long parisian pianist Siegfried Kessler, who played and toured and recorded a lot with Archie Shepp, on bass I think was Dexter´s bassist David Eubanks, too bad I don´t remember who was on drums. I´m not necessarly a vocal jazz fan, but this was really really great, and it really had a great trio who acompanied Dee Dee and "Spoon".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in a jazz pub in Leeds called the Peel Hotel. I did quite well for classic male jazz vocalists. I saw Joe Turner (in a blues package), Jimmy Rushing (with the Humphrey Lyttelton band) and Joe Williams (with Basie). I also saw Mark Murphy (at Ronnie Scott's), though of course he was a very different sort of vocalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are definitely interesting, both from SA as you've probably guessed. Mogorosi has an imminent release on Mushroom Half Hour which I predict will make some noise, both albums feature a choir, a bit 'Lift Every Voice' but not really. Works for me Spaza are a collective (isn't everyone these days) and their first self-titled is worth tracking down. Uprise! has lots of clips of dialogue and interviews interspersed with the music, from the film I guess. All about the anti-apartheid struggle in SA. Mushroom Half Hour is a label worth keeping an eye on for contemporary SA Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
