Rabshakeh Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis-Johnny Griffin Quintet – Blues Up And Down A particularly enjoyable match up. Who is pianist Lloyd Mayer's? Quote
Stompin at the Savoy Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 (edited) I got the first of these two albums - The Swinger/Mr. Swing, both from same session - on a Harry Edison Euro compilation. Decided to upgrade and get the second part. Verve has a legit release and Presto sells it as a download for $7. Swings along great with Freddie Green. Edited October 15 by Stompin at the Savoy Quote
jazzbo Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Just a gentle whispy rain this morning. I’ve gotten used to the chill in the air, but Lucinda put the heat on and I’m not complaining! Starting off with an excellent compilation cd of two 1972 Stitt powerhouse recordings with Barry Harris at the piano. Sonny Stitt “Endgame Brilliance” 32 Jazz cd Quote

That great tune in minor, it´s also on a live double CD from Half Note I think... 3 hours ago, Stompin at the Savoy said: I got the first of these two albums - The Swinger/Mr. Swing, both from same session - on a Harry Edison Euro compilation.

I saw Harry Sweets Edison together with Eddie Lockjaw Davis, it was in 1978 ! But I still remember that the first tune was the bop standard "Rifftide" ! 4 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis-Johnny Griffin Quintet – Blues Up And Down A particularly enjoyable match up. Who is pianist Lloyd Mayer's? I have a 4 or 5 CDs compilation of all Griff-Davis albums, but must admit that this one I have not so often listened like the CD with the Monk tunes. I have no idea who is Lloyd Mayer´s . I just had a look at the personnel and think I had remembered him as "Fort Myers" 😄. About the music : That 2 tenor tandem was great and they played much again in the next decades, once in an all star formation with Diz and Milt Jackson. I´ve played also with 2 tenors the famous Lockjaw Davis composition loosly based on "Body and Soul" but at brisc tempo.. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 (edited) The rain picked up! Neil Young & The Stray Gators “Tuscaloosa” Reprise cd I really love “Time Fades Away” and this recording from earlier on that tour is very good. I love Buttrey’s drumming. 1080×1080 74.4 KB Edited October 15 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Archie Shepp “Blase” BYG Actuel cd A somewhat unusual Shepp recording. Been a long time since it was spun! Quote

It's bursting at the seams, overflowing with vitality. Incomparable artistry. 👍 Yes, a really good one. Now: Bought this from amazon.ca for $11 Canadian (a bargain). Some really fine music on this 3 CD set. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 (edited) Bud Shank Quartet If find it interesting that lots of descriptions of Shank's playing at the time highlight cliches of Californian sun, but when you listen to his earlier records, he actually has quite an aggressive and fast punching concept, albeit he never sounds worked up or angry. This is one of my favourite early Shank records, saving the bossa albums which I really do like. I never did entirely like Shank's sound though, for some reason. I don't play saxophone so I don't know what it is, but maybe there is too much loose air flying around. It sounds like balsa wood to me. Edited October 15 by Rabshakeh Quote
