Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet--Prestige mono, deep groove with a gold label and no address on the label, jacket is Bergenfield address): too much surface noise on this copy but the sound of the music is so beautiful.

Walter Wanderley - Organized - Philips LP of Brazilian recordings released in the US in the wake of the success of "Summer Samba."

TTK, how is that one? I have one of his Brazilian LPs called Samba So! which is good, but I don't think as good as the two Verve LPs I have of him.

That Milt Jackson/Lucky Thompson 'Second Nature' twofer is a real gem. Excellent sound quality too - which goes for much of this series.

Currently spinning George Benson 'Weekend In LA' (Warner Brothers 2LP)

In memoriam:

Leroy Jenkins/Rashied Ali - Swift Are the Winds of Life (Survival)

That title sounds really poignant right now.

As far as listening is concerned, I really wish I had my copy of Vietnam up here with me. Peace to Leroy...

As it is, I'm spinning (not Leroy-related) a copy of the Mike Nock album Almanac (a collaboration w/Bennie Maupin, Cecil McBee, & Eddie Marshall). It's extremely Miles/BN post-bop, and in a good way.

Yeah! I like that one! I like just about everything I have of Mike Nock. I think it shows Maupin in a good way, dispelling the notion people might have had if they had only heard him on Bitches Brew.

I would say it's really good, If you have two of his Verve LPs and like them (I remember you saying you got "Rain Forest" for Xmas in '66 - I know, I'm a geek). Basically in a similar bag, but there are horns and more instruments. Good arrangements, too. Nothing that's going to totally challenge your worldview or anything, but nice bossa chill-out music - especially if you have a drink.

BTW, I had another Philips Brazilian LP by him called "Brazilian Blend," but I DIDN'T like that one. There was basically nothing "Brazilian" about it; it sounded like a hotel lounge band doing run-of-the-mill latin stuff like "Peanut Vendor" and "Besame Mucho."

Another good one, which I THINK is a Brazilian recording, is "Murmurio" on Capitol/Tower (T 5058). I would recommend this one as well.

Yeah, that session puts Barbieri in a pretty good light--not quite the formless rant that one might expect from a screamer of this vintage, but also not a staid or baldly commercial affair. I think Latino America achieved a pretty decent mix, but the ESP disk has lots of fire and none of the occasional dross.

Right now (first time) spinning Mike Osborne's Outback, and all the players come off extremely well. A special note in the way of the McGregor/Miller/Moholo section, which plays here with as much fire, creativity, and poise I've heard in an extended context. I can see why so many people wanted this one re-released.

Naw, I don't have a copy of the Turtle (it's the reissue), tho I've been having conversations with folks regarding putting together more complete collections of SA/UK recordings. Honestly, I don't think I've ever even seen an Ogun LP anywhere in either LA or the Bay Area. Technically not for this thread, but--well, then again...

Next--Sam Rivers: Streams (one of several woefully unavailable small group Rivers sessions from the 70's, which I'll probably also get to...)
