Still digging out my old Charlie Parker records vinyl. This one is on the UK budget Egmont label. Great value for money.

Amazing how you still find bundles of that one cropping up in 2nd hand shops here. And the one by Barry Miles !

Wildflowers 5 (Douglas). Two side-long pieces - one by Sunny Murray with an excellent quintet, the other by Roscoe Mitchell in front of percussionists Jerome Cooper and Don Moye. Roscoe's "Chant" is another reminder that Mr. Mitchell's imagination works very differently than the rest of ours; I'm glad he shares it with us.

Another Egmont pressing. Quite an attractive, lively session.

Remember when they were on sale at giveaway prices. Is that 6/11 I read on that one? :D

Walt Dickerson - Shades of Love (Steeplechase direct-to-disc). A stunning solo performance, in equally amazing sound.

Yep, have that one too in the direct-to-disk and the sound is great. Dickerson positively shimmers !

Omer Simeon - plays... Ace of Hearts (UK)

Dug this out to hear Omer Simeon's version of " Beau Koo Jack" played by his trio in 1929 and then Earl Hines big band version from slightly earlier that year on "Earl Hines Chicago Highlife" (Connifer)UK . The Simeon version wins but the Hines album has some excellent QRS piano solos from Dec 1928. The Hines' LP liner admits that these rather dusty transfers( by JRTD) were made from dubs dating from the late 30's. Not sure if these have seen remastering from the original discs or parts since this Connifer Lp was issued in 1988.

Bill-Coleman-Bill-Coleman--Par-514149.jpg

Bill Coleman a Paris 1936-38 - (Parlophone) UK - strong transfers

Swing jazz of the highest order, as with many LPs of this era highly idiosyncratic programming ( ie not chronological) but the music really flows, with outstanding playing including Alix Combelle on clarinet. Vol 1 next. Hawk's influence on the tenor sax players evident.

Evan Parker - Saxophone Solos (Incus).

I was questioning myself after a concert by a free-improv saxophone player recently left me cold. This record reminds me that yes, there is a real difference between the pedestrian and the inspired.

Brotzmann/Edwards/Noble - ...the worse the better

A lovely recording as the inaugural release on Cafe Oto's new label. This trio's a dream.

This bodes very well for whatever they may have lined up for future releases
