Archie Shepp: Montreux One (Arista-Freedom)

A reminder to me of what a good band this was.

[jeffcrom]

Jimmy Lyons/Sunny Murray Trio - Jump Up-What to Do About (Hat Art); disc one.

[Larry Kart]

Klemperer's recording of "The Magic Flute."

[jeffcrom]

Arne Domnerus - Songs of Simon (Sonet). The great Swedish reed player plays Paul Simon, 1972. I saw this in a little record shop in Malmö, and almost didn't get it, because, well, it looked like it had the potential to be stunningly bad. But I'm glad I grabbed it. Some parts are better than others, and there's kind of a campy aspect to it, but Domnerus plays great, and it's a very entertaining album.

Jazz at the Philharmonic volume 12 (Mercury 10 inch)--The Opener and Lester Leaps In.

James Clay- A Double Dose of Soul-( Riverside) DG stereo- nice album well recorded by Wally Heider in excellent stereo sound.

Paul Smoker Trio with Special Guest Anthony Braxton: QB (Alvas)

Recorded in my old home base of Iowa City (and Anthony's sole performance in the state, as far as I know) if I'm not mistaken! I'd like to have it one day if only for the curiosity. How is it?

I've been listening to things I haven't listened to in a while to decide whether to keep them or not. This is a keeper. Surprisingly - or not, depending on your point of view - I enjoyed bassist Ron Rohovit's and drummer Phil Haynes' playing as much as I did Paul Smoker's and Anthony Braxton's.

Zbigniew Namysłowski - Kuyaviak Goes Funky (Polish Jazz Vol. 46, 1975)- Miles (IASW/BB) is the obvious reference point but this isn't really all that derivative. Pretty good IMO.

I saw the Namyslowski quartet in Leeds in the mid-60s when their big influence was the Coltrane quartet, but once again there was an originality in the fusion of Polish folk influences.

Two mid-60's albums with Reggie Workman on bass, recorded at Van Gelder studios. Very different in some ways, but it's all meat off the same bone.

New York Art Quartet - Mohawk (Japanese Fontana)

Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land (BN New York stereo). My copy is not pristine, but it still sounds fabulous. Sonically, this is one of my favorite Blue Notes.

[jeffcrom]

Punch Miller - Hongo Fongo (Imperial mono)

[jeffcrom]

Cryin' in the Morning: An Anthology of Post-War Blues (Muse). Most of this stuff is from Regal and associated labels, early 1950's, I believe.
