FIve Times Six (Cat Records)

yesterday on the King's annual birthday flea market, I didn't even try, but a year ago, I actually managed to find an album from my extended wish list... so playing it again on the occasion (even though commentators pointed out that the King lost quite a bit of weight over the year, so that there's substantially less King to celebrate this year than a year ago...)

good one! RIP Herbert Noord...

Read your interview with him again when playing the album, thank you so much for that, it's a very useful resource on an aspect of the Dutch Jazz scene that hasn't been covered that much elsewhere

thank you! Yeah, I feel like it is pretty unique and I was so glad to get to know Herbert a bit.

The Fifth Dimension - Up, Up and Away - (Soul City, stereo)

I don't listen exclusively to jazz.  I like to keep up with what the kids are listening to.

Its not a bad one. Have it and play it here and then.

Actually, Chick's on New Mood Indigo -- not Happy Reunion.

Understandable mistake.  Both LPs appeared on Bob Thiele's Doctor Jazz with fairly generic covers.

Marc Johnson - Bass Desires (ECM, 1986)

One of Ethan Iverson's substack posts just showed up in my inbox.  The gist of the post is a long interview with Peter Erskine about the making of Second Sight, the second Bass Desires album -- an album that isn't in my collection, so I'm playing the first one instead -- and Gary Peacock's Guamba, which was made immediately after Second Sight.  FASCINATING stuff.  And there's a bunch of excellent photos too.  Don't think I've ever seen the inside of Rainbow Studios in Oslo before.

An aside: I know that Iverson comes in for a lot of stick 'round these parts.  Frankly, I don't get it.  At all.  I don't always agree with the guy -- nor should I (or should anyone else, for that matter!) -- but it's clear that he LOVES the music.  From my perspective, that's the most important thing.  . . .  Plus, he uses his insider's status to get to get interviews that are unlike any others.  And the dude can write.  He's putting himself out there, sharing personal responses to the music.  I wish MORE musicians had the (writing) chops, the inclination, and the cojones to do it.
