Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Red Garland - Strike Up The Band (Galaxy). Red with a pretty good band: George Coleman, Julian Priester, Ron Carter & Ben Riley. If you find this in a cheapie bin, give it a try. About the only negative is the lousy bass recording quality, which you'll get with most recordings from 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Stan Getz - Voyage (Blackhawk). I have enjoyed nearly every Blackhawk LP/CD I've heard. Too bad Herb Wong couldn't keep this label or his Palo Alto label going very long. I guess the 80's were just a shitty time to be making jazz records... well, an even shittier time than other decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Listening to the second LP from this 1970s 2-fer, originally released as All Mornin' Long. The original LP is one of my favorite covers: There's just a RIGHTNESS about Red Garland's playing that always gets me. 54 minutes ago, bresna said: Stan Getz - Voyage (Blackhawk).

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Joe Farrell - Penny Arcade (CTI). This sounds like 1974 with the required whacka-whacka guitar/drums. Not my favorite style of jazz for sure, but after Herbie struck gold with "Head Hunters", it was inevitable that others would try to copy that success.

HutchFan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Now on my turntable: Egberto Gismonti - Dança das Cabeças (ECM, 1977) with percussionist Naná Vasconcelos My admiration for Gismonti continues to grow. For years, my impressions of him were WAY off the mark. Incidentally, my copy of this LP is a German pressing. AQ is outtasight -- soooo much better than U.S. pressings, even for a someone like me with less than ideal hearing and a solid-but-nothing-special stereo system. 11 minutes ago, bresna said: Joe Farrell - Penny Arcade (CTI).

I think Outback is the pick of the litter among Farrell's CTI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Farrell's CTI LPs are so short in playing time. Most of them run ~34 minutes total. I wonder if there is any unreleased stuff from these sessions?

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Kirsten Edkins - Shapes & Sound (Cohearent). I picked this up mainly after listening to a few sound samples. It's OK but I'm not sure about all the hype it got just because it was Kevin Gray's new label. I still scratch my head on that title & cover.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Doug Watkins - Watkins At Large (Transition/King). Nice Japanese pressing of this bluesy date.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one is reissued in the Tone Poet series. More than happy with the King. I saw a styrene copy in a shop in London once - knackered with only one label and that was hanging off. They wanted a small fortune for it too.

Great thing, and I think the first thing is a slo blues or it is on some of those Garland Prestige things with Trane and Byrd on it, anyway. But I have learned a lot from Garland about piano voicings. He was a master in that. And actually, he was the first jazz pianist I ever heard in my live, on my first LP (Miles Davis "Steamin´" when I was maybe 13 or so, I knew all his solos on that LP, was very impressed by those chords on the two ballads, yeah !
