jeffcrom Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Michael J. Smith - Geomusic (Muza) Is this quite obscure, and how is it? It's from 1976, on a Polish label, and it does seem to be pretty obscure. I found it in a little record store in Malmo, Sweden a couple of years ago - a nicer copy than the one pictured here. Musically, it's excellent - one of my favorite of Michael's recordings. Michael's frequent partner in those days, Laurence Cook, is on drums; there are two bassists, Kent Carter (doubling on cello) and Jacek Bednarek, and two alto saxists, Claude Bernard and the outstanding Zbigniew Namyslowski. The cover reverses the instrument credits for Bernard and Cook. I'd describe it as pretty intense free jazz with some nice passages of lyricism.

jeffcrom Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Bouzouki and Clarinet (Greek EMI/Regal) Anonymous but amazing performances of Greek music - side one is rural folk music, with some amazing clarinet playing; side two is urban tavern music, c. 1974. Here in the Eastern U.S. time zone, the day will be over in less than an hour, and I hadn't listened to any jazz yet today. So: Donald Byrd - Fuego (BN). I think this was the first Blue Note record I ever bought, about 35 years ago. It's got the dark blue/black note label from the early 70's, but it's got the RVG stamp, and sounds pretty good.

jeffcrom Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Steve Lacy - Hocus Pocus (Book "H" of "Practitioners") (Les Disques du Crepuscule). Mr. Lacy solo, playing a book of his saxophone etudes, with improvisation. He said that his idea in writing these exercises was to write the kind of thing he usually wrote, but harder. Theses studies were published in his book Findings, and I play them when I want to practice something which will kick my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Eric Dolphy - Quintet U.S.A. (Unique Jazz). A 1962 gig with a group built from the revolving cast Dolphy drew from for his gigs - in this case, Eddie Armour, Herbie Hancock, Richard Davis, and Edgar Bateman.
