Willis Jackson with Von Freeman - Lockin' Horns (Muse). When I was at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago last week, they put this on the sound system right after Warne Marsh's All Music on Nessa. I bought it right off the turntable.

Agree this is a great session

Forefront - Incantation -this is an odd one from Chicago, trumpet heavy front line over rhythm section, not too much improvisation to my ears, one really nice funky track.

Raymond Burke - A Self Portrait (Land o' Jazz). An obscure 1975 album by the New Orleans clarinetist - I couldn't find a picture online. Burke plays mostly clarinet, but also bass clarinet, tenor sax, tin whistle, and harmonica. Nice stuff.

Picked it up thinking it was going to be a big-band backing, took a few tunes to adjust to the fact that it wasn't, as well as that there weren't going to be any real solos or obligattos by either Carmel Jones or Teddy Edwards, as well as that Ernie Freemans' organ was just going to hold those chords on and on, but - after making those adjustments, Sarah's in great form here herself, and hell, it is her album after all.

Hmm. Never seen that side before. Interesting set list -- populist stuff (Taste of Honey/What Kind of Fool/Sermonette, etc.) but also some very hip standards (In Love in Vain, Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out).

There is some stuff on here that is jaw-dropping casually freakygood, all the more so because of the somewhat somnambulistic backing.. "Midnight Sun" is just SICK!
