JSngry Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Roland Alexander Quintet plus Kalaparusha - Live at the Axis (Kharma) As fate would have it, this followed Harold Alexander in the recently alphabetized (and already obsoletely so) To Be Listened To LP section. I like it, very much "of it's time" in every regard, and strong playing aplenty, although perhaps not always collectively. But sometimes so, yes. There's one point where Kalaparusha just leans back (figuratively, wasn't there to see if he actually did or not) and blows and it comes out Gene Ammons like a MOFO. Pure LOL Delight, that moment was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other Kharma LP I have is #7, which is an interesting one, in a cool-idea-that-doesn't-quite-work kind of way - Unexpected by Kenny Davern. The trad jazz clarinetist/soprano saxophonist goes avant-garde, with Steve Lacy, Steve Swallow, and Paul Motian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I should add that Unexpected has two Steve Lacy compositions which I don't believe have appeared anywhere else: "Swirls" and "Loops." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Cooper/Kalaparusha/Frank Lowe trio Positions 3 6 9; Sunny Murray Charred Earth (Burrell, Lancaster, Bob Reid); Frank Lowe Doctor Too Much (Dara, L Smith, F Williams, P Wilson) really stick out.

Those all sound like ones to look for, especially that first one. Thanks! NP: Knowing how time is curved and shit, I dream of a time when this one and Percussion Bitter Suite and Straight Ahead all get recorded on the same day at the same session with the same bands and singers all in the room at the same time, and for the same reasons. Far more unlikely things could happen as time curves by. Edited December 3, 2012 by JSngry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 The Upfront (aka Springboard aka Trip) issue of the Winley side w/Howard McGee. Very nice to hear Jug w/o a whole lot of reverb. Nice to hear him with it, too, always nice to hear Jug, but, just sayin'... And "Waco" on "bongos"..the whole damn city?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Frank Wess/Bobby Jaspar/Seldon Powell - The Spirit of Charlie Parker (World Wide) I found this mysterious 1958 LP, on a label I had never heard of, a couple of days ago. As I looked at it more carefully before playing it tonight, I saw all sorts of things that screamed "Savoy" - Ozzie Cadena was the producer, Van Gelder did the recording and mastering, World Wide was located in Newark - even the typeface looked like Savoy's. A little research revealed that World Wide was indeed a Savoy label - there were about 20 releases, mostly non-jazz. My guess (I couldn't find any confirmation of this) is that World Wide was formed as a stereo specialty label - the front cover makes a lot of the stereo angle, and the back cover notes devote as much space to "The Story of Stereo" as to the music. The music is pretty good, not earth-shattering. There are four long tracks - all Charlie Parker tunes, and mostly featuring flutes. Eddie Costa plays piano and vibes, which was the determing factor in my decision to go ahead and grab this album. These four tracks apparently showed up on a mid-1980s Savoy album called Flutin' the Blues: Bird Lives, with a couple of Herbie Mann tracks added. It looks like that album went out of print pretty quickly - information about it is pretty scarce on the internet. As far as I can tell, only one track, "Now's the Time," has appeared on CD, on a Japanese Savoy sampler. So has anyone else heard of the World Wide label?
