Kenny Drew: Everything I Love (Steeplechase)

Hadn't listened to this in at least twenty years, so it was a rediscovery for me. Kenny Drew playing solo (gloriously) and for himself - at least it sounds that way to my ears.

A nice bunch of LPs turned up yesterday from Dan Gould's sale. So I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening listening to them.

MJQ - Blues at Carnegie Hall - Atlantic - I got this back in the day and it was one of my favourite MJQ albums, in the days when I had lots of 'em.

Roland Alexander - Pleasure bent - New Jazz (Fantasy) - I used to have a DG mono of this. Glad to have it again. Didn't know Fantasy reissued it, probably in the late seventies. Never came out in OJCCD form, I think.

Junior Mance - That's where it is - Capitol - nice set.

Bobby Timmons - Live at the Connecticut jazz party - Chiaroscuro - completes my collection of all his albums as a leader. Surprised to see Sonny Red in there. Very nice.

Ramsey Lewis & Jean DuShon - You better believe me - Argo - another nice one.

King Fleming - Weary traveler - Cadet - really enjoyed this one. I've asked Dan for the other two he had for sale.

Etta Jones - Love me with all your heart - Muse - one of Etta's Muse LPs I missed.

Jimmy Witherspoon & Jack McDuff - The blues is now - Verve - about time I got this!

Sonny Stitt - Primitivo soul - Prestige (blue label) - I've wanted this for ever! A real prize. Can't understand why this was never on OJCCD.

Good time yesterday!

Robin Kenyatta - Girl from Mozambique [ECM]

arrived yesterday, first listen. Bought it primarily for Arild Andersen (who is great throughout) but very impressed by Kenyatta. Need to investigate his music further.

but why O why were some LPs so short, only just over 30mins with music this good could've done with another 10mins at least!

Girl From Martinique.

It's a fine one; I recommend the Free State Band on America as well, even if Francois Nyombo's guitar is underrecorded.

Oops, yes. Thanks for the correction. Only defence is it that it'd only been in the house for an hour!

Thanks also for the tip on Free State Band. I'll endeavour to follow it up
