I never saw Harold Mabern live but heard him on the Freddie Hubbard "Night of the Cookers" and I think on some Wes Montgomery in Europe. Very very fine. 

But I never in live saw such a strange form of the front head.

Yes he's a great pianist sometimes very persussive.

John Hicks - In Concert (Teresa). Mine has a cut corner just like the one on discogs.

Hicks with Walter Booker on bass & Idris Mohammad on drums. Elise Wood plays flute on one track & Bobby Hutcherson is on vibes for another. A rather sedate performance to my ears.

[JSngry]

Curtis Mayfield has a really groovy band. Then again they all do.

Les McCann sings "The Price You Got To Pay To Be Free". 

Today's ears hear this and laugh at the trouble the festival went to have a "Soul" show at a "jazz festival" when in just a few years, the Kool Jazz Festival roadshows would be mostly this. And then in just a few decades, this type of music would come to be accepted as perfectly acceptable as feeding into jazz fully on its own terms.

It's not a bad record, not at all, and one does wonder if the tapes of the full sets still exist. It was Cobblestone, so who knows?

Now:

Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia - Wilde Tales (MCA UK, 1979)

 

Earlier tonight:

Joni Mitchell - Mingus (Asylum, 1979)

 

[HutchFan]

Leon Thomas - In Berlin (Flying Dutchman, 1971)

Yes, I agree. the group name and LP title sum it up nicely. I love this era of Mingus. With hindsight you can hear what's coming down the line but I think the era has merits all of its own.

Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner [Blue Note, Germany 1970(?)]

always been a favourite Herbie date.

Mine too, Joe Henderson plays his ass off on that date. Wonderful record. I think, the first tune something with "I have a dream" is partially based on "Darn that Dream" .

I do like the music on this but I am not a fan of the way Rudy drenched the horns in reverb. It makes it sound like they're playing in an empty warehouse.

[JSngry]

Maybe it was Duke Pearson who wanted all the reverb?
