John Coltrane, "Ballads" Japan Platinum SHM-CD. Again. . . it sounds so good. This is the best sounding version of this release I have heard.

 

 

 

Love this session. It really stands out.

Perfect pairing of Rollins with Jim Hall, who is both astonishing at single notes and chords, or best, a mixture of both.

Yes.   A "perfect" record.

Excellent platter released on a rather unheralded label ....

IMO Mood releases were a mixed bag, some brilliant (like the Dauner solo album), others heavily over-produced (like the Voices LP or the Head, Heart & Hands. I'll open a thread on the label.

Right now disc 2 of Charles Lloyd "Montreux Jazz Festival 1967" on TCB.

[Chuck Nessa]

With Sonny Grey, George Arvanitas, Jimmy Gourley, Jackie Samson and Charles Saudrais.

Discs 4 and 5, the Mr. Natural session: With a rhythm section of McCoy, Cranshaw, Elvin and Barretto, the groove is so damn deep (and Lee up front!).  I only got this set last year (for $50, discs sealed) and it is such a fine set.

Now there’s a familiar name - pretty sure I saw him with Elvin but not quite sure exactly where or when !  

Uldated - a bit of research says it is highly likely to have been Sept 1979 at Ronnie Scotts. Ari Brown, Marvin Horn on guitar and Andy McLeod on bass. I have vague memories of them doing ‘Three Card Molly’.
