More so than some of the reviews/opinions out there. Not up to the level of ‘Firebirds’ but solid nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thanks. If it was up there with Firebirds I would buy it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumasuma contains some of the best Barbara Donald on record. Simmons seems inhibited by the piano, but Donald just burns — every solo she has. You can really hear the Booker Little influence.

Yep. Including gems by Eric Kloss and Charles Earland and the Visitors. Also some nice titles from the predecessor Cobblestone label.

Some of my favorites from the label, none of which have had a digital reissue (to the best of my knowledge): Bill Barron - Jazz Caper Bill Barron - Variations in Blue Joe Bonner - The Lifesaver Joe Bonner - Angel Eyes "Groove" Holmes - Shippin' Out "Groove" Holmes - Good Vibrations Willis Jackson - Headed and Gutted Willis Jackson - West Africa Eric Kloss - Essence Mark Murphy - Sings Mark Murphy - Stolen Moments Cecil Payne - Bird Gets the Worm Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke Sonny Stitt - My Buddy: Sonny Stitt Plays for Gene Ammons Buddy Tate - Live at Sandy's Buddy Tate - Hard Blowin': Live at Sandy's Mickey Tucker - Mister Mysterious Mickey Tucker - The Crawl Jack Walrath - Wholly Trinity Edited October 19, 2020 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Been a long time but I recall Blues for Duke as being a nice one ... never saw the My Buddy LP I think I'll try to find a decent copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 I like those Joe Bonner albums, forgot about them. And "Essence" is the Kloss album I was thinking of. Fire with Hannibal on that one. 32jazz put out three extensive 2CD sets of Mark Murphy's Muse work, which seem to contain just about everything he did on the label, but in haphazard form. I would have much preferred them arranged chronologically by album. What a strange label 32jazz was, so very right and so very wrong at the same time!

They're very similar records -- with Tom Harrell added on Bird Gets the Worm (and Buster Williams subbing for Sam Jones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yeah - SO many albums! I have some of the Earland and Murphy LPs but don't have a turntable setup anymore unfortunately. Some of the Mark Murphy stuff has been reissued in compilations on Concord/Savoy: "Songbook" and "Giants of Jazz: Mark Murphy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
