sidewinder Posted July 2 Report Posted July 2 (edited) One of the Strata-East/Pure Pleasure LPs. Interesting session - sounds like a bit of 'Bitches Brew' influence in there plus David Lee on drums gives it a sound which is akin to Rollins' Milestone LPs of this era. Incidentally my Tolliver 'Impact' had an OK side 1 but some unknown Krautrock on side 2. Commendably, Pure Pleasure are replacing it with a new copy. Edited July 2 by sidewinder Quote

Stenson's so good as the piano shouldn't really fit into the music. I've been after it for years (saw Temiz in the 90s) and it popped up on a dealer's list the other day. Quote

That Rouse is such a great album. Back in the day I thought it was too "funky" but at this point in time I am quite a fan. Quote

Pure Pleasure have never encountered any other incidence of this apparently, must have been a manufacturing balls-up at Pallas. The Rouse is good - very much 'of its time' but in a good way. Interesting that cello was used as part of the front line. Quote

I've had an eye out for it too -- but I still haven't found a copy that's in my price range. Seems like there aren't many copies out there, particularly here in N. America.

mjazzg Posted July 3 Report Posted July 3 (edited) It's definitely worth it if you do find one Today's playlist SML - Small Medium Large [International Anthem, US 2024] Keiki Midorikawa - Five Pieces Of Cake [Offbeat Records, Japan 1975] Laurel Halo - Atlas [Awe, US 2023] Anthony Braxton - Creative Orchestra Music 1976 [Arista, US 1976] Okay Temiz Trio - Turkish Folk Jazz [Sonet, UK 1975] no Stenson on this @HutchFan but I think it's the better album of the two that arrived recently Edited July 3 by mjazzg Quote

EDIT Yep, here it is: Be interested to hear what you make of it. It's obviously sparser being a trio and I think the clarinet playing is pretty special. In those sleeve notes it mentions that he was well taken by Coltrane's 'Om'! Brotzmann/Van Hove/Bennink - Balls [FMP, Germany 1977 RE] Quote

sidewinder Posted July 3 Report Posted July 3 (edited) Bobby Hutcherson 'Total Eclipse' in the Tone Poet version. It will be interesting to compare it with the Liberty issue. Edited to say that this version sounds pretty excellent to me. Certainly a step of two up from the DMM version I bought in the mid 80s. The gatefold colour pictures of Bobby and co. are great too.

No poster. It is a fascinating album. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 3 Report Posted July 3 Horace Silver Quintet 'Silver's Serenade' (Tone Poet) Outstanding - this stereo version compares very favourably with my mono NY pressing. Might even be better ! Quote
