Gary McFarland 'Point of Departure' (Impulse, stereo)

One of my favorite McFarland albums, and one of the few that successfully blends his "serious" jazz writing and arranging with his more accessible "pop" qualities. Most of his other albums tend to be in one group or the other.

Yes, one of his very best. I am now discovering some of is later recordings ('America the Beautiful', 'Does the Sun Really Shine...') which I ignored when they came out. Thought they were very lightweight at the time.

Now that they have been reissued, I find quite a number of special moments in those...

Now spinning:

Howard McGhee 'Maggies' Back in Town' (Contemporary, mono original)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Last thing last night, I was playing

Charles Mingus - Ah um - CBS UK

Charles Mingus - Mingus dynasty - CBS UK

and I went to bed afterwards with the Leroy Vinnegar tune "For Carl Perkins" on my head. Is there some resemblance between that tune and "Put me in that dungeon" that I haven't noticed?

Still hoping (against the odds) that his soundtrack for "13" will come out someday. Verve designed cover art and assigned it a catalog number, but yanked it at the last minute...
