Nice choice from Ms TTK. 8 hours ago, mjazzg said: Which is in itself interesting as I saw him with El'Zabar too, at Ronnies and was very impressed but he wasn't playing in full-on mode which he is here. This isn't any major diversion from the Church Of Trane path he's been walking but it's more focussed and developed than earlier & Chosen Few albums that I thought were both slavish and sprawling, this is less of both to my ears. The interesting but not wholly successful diversion was his 'Parallel Universe' album. I assume I saw him later that day, then. It was a great gig, maybe my favourite at Ronnie's for a while, but he was the weaker link. He definitely looked the part, and played up to it, down to the shades and the toothpick hanging out of the corner of his mouth. I missed parallel universe. I'll give that a go too. Quote

I was very surprised that it included Keith Mansfield's "Powerhouse Pop," albeit under a different title. Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted September 30 Report Posted September 30 (edited) 13 minutes ago, HutchFan said: Nope. It one of the few that I don't have. What do you think of it? About 15 or 20 years ago, I digitized 3 of the tracks for a comp I was curating. These included "Ghetto," "Good Sense Humor Man," and "First Thing in the Morning." These three have more or less funk grooves. IIRC, the tunes I did not digitize were more swinging and straight ahead. Because I have mostly listened to the other three on the comp, I know those well, but I'm less familiar with the others. It sounds like this album was designed to appeal to multiple audiences, maybe not unusual for a jazz album of this era by someone of Moody's generation.

JSngry Posted October 1 Report Posted October 1 It was released on Paula and produced (on spec, as I understand it) by Paul Serrano + Richard Evans. Stan Lewis had a longstanding pipeline to and from Chicago, and Serrano placed several of these tapes with Paula. The Moody record was a lot better than I had expected! Quote
HutchFan Posted October 1 Report Posted October 1 Reissue of two of Fuller's Savoy LPs, both recorded in 1959. Also, both feature Benny Golson. R.I.P. 16 hours ago, JSngry said: The Moody record was a lot better than I had expected! I'm gonna check it out. Quote

I have the album too -- it's terrific! -- but it's on the Palo Alto Jazz label (with a different cover). Did Muse reissue it when PAJ went belly-up? Edited October 2 by HutchFan Quote
Rabshakeh Posted October 2 Report Posted October 2 On 8/17/2024 at 9:19 AM, Rabshakeh said: Roscoe Mitchell - Nonaah I bought my four year old some sort of toy shawm on the weekend, because I enjoy misery. The six year old picked it up this morning and started to play "you know, the song that Roscoe Mitchell played again and again in front of those people". I have no memory of telling him that story but I presume that I did last time I spun it, back when I posted this record and, of all the things, it seems to have sunk in. Not sure why the three times table isn't... All grist for the therapist in later life. Quote

jazzcorner Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 Brookmeyer with some bigger groups as usual playing among other compositions his "Blues Suite". rec. 1959 - Engineer: Tom Dowd Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 ^ Have a nice UK mono pressing of this one. Quote
HutchFan Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 Now spinning: Art Pepper - Artworks (Galaxy, 1984) This album consists of outtakes from the 1979 sessions that yielded So in Love on the Artists House label. This LP features the West Coast ensemble: George Cables, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins. Coming up next: More outtakes from the same So in Love sessions, but this time with the NY-based ensemble: Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Al Foster. Quote

HutchFan Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 Next up: James Moody - Heritage Hum (Perception, 1971) Lovely & soulful. Moody in a lyrical groove. Lots of flute. The overall vibe is different -- but I'd rate this LP right up there with Never Again! In other words: This is more Top Shelf stuff. Quote
HutchFan Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 Randomly pulled from the shelf: Various Artists - Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia Of Jazz - Jazz of the '60's, Vol. #1: Giants of the Saxophones (Vee Jay, 1964) This fun sampler is a dollar bin find that I ran across a few years ago. Quote

Yes the complete 16 CD Box is a real treasure box on my shelves and as Art Pepper fan a must. The booklet shows all these original covers like above. Havent seen these in original size.

I don't have that massive Art Pepper box, but -- over the years -- I've collected most of his Galaxy stuff on individual CDs and/or LPs. Quote
