I listened to my LP copy only yesterday. Bought on a whim as it was cheap. Really interesting recording.

Lucky you!    Satoh is fantastic.

Masaru Imada "Planets (Planets/BBE)                                                                            1977/2022 ....

[jazzbo]

John Mayall “Blues From Laurel Canyon” Decca (from the Madfish Records box set “The First Generation 1965-1974”)

Some blistering Mick Taylor!

[HutchFan]

Now playing:

Bobby Hutcherson - Medina (BN, rec. 1969)
Connoisseur Series CD that includes Spiral (less one cut) as bonus tracks

Probably my favorite album(s) by the great Hutcherson-Land Quintet.  This iteration of the group with Stanley Cowell, Reggie Johnson & Joe Chambers was special.

Albrecht Maurer Trio Works – Movietalks

[HutchFan]

Roland Hanna & George Mraz - Play for Monk (MHS, rec. 1978)

+1

There aren't enough Cowell trio recordings of that vintage. I like his later (Steeplechase, etc.) recordings just fine, but would have liked more earlier trios.

Bob Cranshaw. . .wow.

Probably "Illusion Suite" (ECM) from 1972 ....

Yes, but that is difficult to find (on CD at least), as is Equipoise from 1978.

All I have is Blues for the Viet Cong from 1969. 😪

Next up:

Billy Cobham - Crosswinds (Atlantic, 1974)

 

Wow!  I listened to this this morning even though it's not my usual type thing.

[HutchFan]

More Stanley Cowell -- in a trio format or otherwise -- is always fine by me.   

Also agree that both Illusion Suite and Equipoise are wonderful.   (I have both albums on vinyl.)

Yes, Crosswinds is a TERRIFIC record.

What's your takeaway from this one?

I actually don't mind the odd Kaempfert cut. I like that trumpet player, sort of a German Bobby Hackett vibe to him.
