Count-Basie-I-Told-You-So-363087.jpg

I have that album, John, but never thought the Holman arrangements sounded quite right with Basie. For Basie of that period, I much prefer listening to the Sammy Nestico albums.

Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner (BN).

Nice original blue & white label Van Gelder pressing. No matter how many times I hear this date, I still don't hear Tootie Heath, "rock drummer", in this music that much even thought the liner notes claim that it is there ("Duple meter, Shell! Serpentine!!"). There are times when I do wonder if a Bob Newhart Show trumpet solo might pop up. :) All joking aside, a thoroughly enjoyable late 60s Jazz LP.

Picked up a copy last year - a UK Liberty blue/white with the 'Van Gelder', first one I've ever seen of those (and a very short-lived variant I think). A good replacement for my old Pathe Marconi DMM. :)

Andrew Hill 'Spiral' (Arista/Freedom)

What are your impressions of this one, brownie? I've always meant to get it, and I will one day certainly, but the idea of Konitz playing Hill still baffles me.

It appeals more to the brain than to the heart but the brain is mighty satisfied! AFAIC Hill could not wrong

Now spinning...
