When I bought this and showing my friend (who actually knows something about Jazz thanks to me, he is mostly indie hipster) at the store said, oh what's Riverside records? Sigh...

[jeffcrom]

A guilty pleasure: Chick Corea and Return to Forever - Where Have I Known You Before (Polydor). When I was a teenager, this is one of the albums those of us interested in jazz listened to. I had it on 8-track tape. I had mixed feelings about it even back then, but then, as now, I think "Song to the Pharoah Kings" is pretty good music.

My copy is similarly worn. This series of twofers didn't wear well over the years. I don't recall seeing many in better shape than this.

The music though!

Ralph Towner - Batik (ECM) The strength of the Eddie Gomez/Jack DeJohnette rhythm section keeps things from getting "new age-ey."

[kh1958]

Clifford Brown/Max Roach--Brown and Roach Incorporated (Emarcy). Lucky find of the week, an original issue and in Vg+ shape.

Not sure if I'll go on with CDs or the following:

Jiri Stivin / Rudolf Dasek - System Tandem

[jeffcrom]

Mose Allison - Lessons in Living (Elektra Musician). A particularly intense live set by the Middle Class White Boy, from Montreux, 1982. Billy Cobham is smoking, and Lou Donaldson sounds really good in his guest spots.

[jeffcrom]

Marion Williams - Standing Here Wondering Which Way to Go (Atlantic). A very fine 1971 album by the great gospel singer, with some great pianists: Hank Jones, Ray Bryant, Joe Zawinul, and Keith Jarrett. The tunes are mostly "message" songs of the time: "My Sweet Lord," "Heaven Help Us All," Dylan's "Wicked Messenger," etc. It could have been kind of grim, but it's really excellent.
