All of them have some good playing. I'm spinning To The Ladies now. The bass is all twangy on this one too but other than that, very enjoyable. Griffin was playing great then. Quote
mjazzg Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) David Sanborn - Time And The River [Okeh, 2015] A purchase prompted by @Rabshakeh and my unexplained need for a nostalgic reconnection with some Sanborn. Whilst it's not going to create many converts, there's some excellent music on this (at least one of the two vocal tunes doesn't fit), very well produced by Marcus Miller in a nice slick and shiny fashion that works very well. Some of it could almost be by one of the bands in the current London scene who seem to me to have been engaging with fusion a lot recently. The music world keeps turning. Certainly worth the (reduced) entry fee Edited August 18, 2023 by mjazzg Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 Freddie Hubbard - Classics (Fantasy). Only two tunes - one for each side. Side 1 is Red Clay and Side 2 is First Light. Killer band - Freddie has Joe Henderson & Bobby Hutcherson in the front line. Quote

Expand Nice Mombasa - Tathagata [Wind Records, Germany 1980] I don't know if this band are generaly well known but they're new to me. Lou Blackburn and Carmell Jones was reason enough to invest the £10. Repaying that investment several fold. Quote

JSngry Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 I have the three LPs, what is the unreleased cut, and on which CD is? I concur that it's excellent music. In it's time, it was sort of an affirmation that Freddie could still engage with that type of repertoire and band. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 Now spinning... Eddie Higgins - Eddie Higgins (Vee Jay). Mono LP is really nice shape. I thought that these were all trio tracks so I was surprised when I heard a trumpet & tenor on a few of them. I've enjoyed Eddie's Venus CDs for years so I was curious to hear him on an earlier recording. He didn't change much. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 Joanne Brackeen - Ancient Dynasty (Columbia/Tappan Zee). I bought this one when I saw Joe Henderson listed on the back. Henderson, Brackeen, Eddie Gomez & Jack DeJohnette - what could go wrong? What a great record this is! (so far) Really digging this. This is my first purchase of Brackeen as a leader. I probably would have skipped it if I hadn't had the chance to see/hear her perform as a sub for George Cables at a Javon Jackson show at Scullers back in 2017. Why hasn't this made it to CD? Is it caught in limbo because of the Tappan Zee label? Quote

If you'd like to explore more, I'd strongly recommend Keyed In. It's the same group -- minus JoeHen: Also released on Tappan Zee. If I'm not mistaken, Sony controls the rights to these recordings. So they could be made available again easily -- either by Sony or through a third-party reissue label like Wounded Bird. I guess folks figure there's not enough demand for this music to bother with reissuing it. At least there's still used copies floating around out there. Edited August 18, 2023 by HutchFan Quote
