The adjoining neighbour was actually a bouncer in Soho in the early modernist jazz era. I am not sure what he would make of Babi, so I am playing it nice and quietly. He is 83 and very nice but could still make mincemeat of me. Quote

sidewinder Posted July 21 Report Posted July 21 (edited) Booker Ervin 'Tex Book Tenor' (BN Tone Poet) Wonderful session and great that it is out at last on LP (other than the old 70s twofer, good as that one was). Sound is excellent. Edited July 21 by sidewinder Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted July 21 Report Posted July 21 Gary McFarland - Profiles (impulse!, stereo) I have a mono copy too, but I'm currently wired for stereo. Quote

How is that? I see it about a fair bit. I like McFarland's 'Point Of Departure' and the one with Bill Evans but that's as far as I've gone Quote

Certainly more jazz than pop, but not as good as the Bill Evans or Steve Kuhn collaborations. Worth picking up in clean condition for a good price. NP: Gary McFarland - Scorpio and Other Signs (Verve, stereo) This is one is more pop, and it may be his most compelling pop record, maybe next to The In Sound, also on Verve. Quote

HutchFan Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 Now spinning: Cecil McBee Sextet with Chico Freeman - Compassion (Enja, 1979) Earlier today, this new (to me) LP was on my turntable: Shamek Farrah & Sonelius Smith - The World of the Children (Strata-East, 1977) Pure Pleasure reissue Trumpeter Joe Gardner plays on both of these wonderful LPs.

HutchFan Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 Next up: Lou Donaldson - Cosmos (Blue Note, 1971) with Leon Spencer, Melvin Sparks, Jerry Jemmott, Idris Muhammad, and others Outstanding soul jazz. Given the players (and Donaldson's use of the Varitone throughout), perhaps it's no surprise that the music sounds like more like Bob Porter-produced sides for Prestige than a Blue Note date. Quote
mjazzg Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 Brother Jack McDuff - Prelude [Prestige, USA 1964] As suggested by @HutchFan, kind of... Quote
HutchFan Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 More Lou Donaldson: A solid compilation of Cadet tracks that focus on his soul-jazz side, rather than his bop roots. Quote
