Steve Lacy - The Crust (Emanem). As far as I can tell, only two-thirds of this music has been reissued on CD - on two different Emanem CDs, at that. I've always like it, and it really fits my prickly, unsettled mood tonight.

Steve Lacy - The Kiss (Lunatic). This is often the time of night when I turn to the blues, but I needed more Lacy. This was an inspired solo concert recorded in Hiroshima in 1986, pressed on almost noiseless vinyl.

Rudolf Dasek Interlanding Supraphon with Andrew Cyrille. Pianist Karel Ruzicka sounds really good. Don't have him on anything else. V good session.

AN LP I found in the local 2nd hand shop five or six years ago, played once and left it on the shelf. I tried it a few weeks ago and found it a deightful album of lounge favourites whose misspelt titles include

Fasnation

I am in the mood for love

Cherry Park & apple blossom

Lapaloma

He's a Jamaican tenor player. This is mid seventies vintage so he's probably older than most of the players in the Skatalites.

Winston Wright and Gladstone Anderson on keyboards do some nice things, too.

Mingus Plays Piano (Jasmine)

Whenever I play this, the first thing that hits me is how much more feeling there is in this music compared to many recordings by full time pianists. But then, Mingus' music was always about feelings.

Gene Ammons - The Twister (Prestige blue label mono). Prestige certainly did things its own way. This is a 1960-ish reissue of Jammin' in Hi-Fi with Gene Ammons. But it was apparently reissued with two different covers - all the images I could find online are of a yellow and red cover with only text, no picture. But my cover features a closeup of Ammons with the album title and his name in a hip '60's font at the top.

But the music is wonderful. And, relating to comments in two other threads, I'll say that the almost-flawless Prestige blue-label pressing and the recording by Mr. Van Gelder sound great.
