Great cover art by Saul Bass I think

Yes sir! :tup

Duke's duet with bassist John Lamb at the beginning of "Ad Lib on Nippon" is so loose, airy, and abstract that it's like an improvised composition within the larger composition.  It feels like these sorts of moments from Duke are sideways glances through partially opened doors, like he's anticipating what would be happening in the avant garde -- and jazz in general -- in the coming years.

 In one way or another I've been listening to a lot of Dameron lately. Five of the eight tracks on this CD are Dameron compositions. 

 

In an interview Magnarelli named his Dameron date as one of his favourites.

Plenty of Tadd on this too:

Just reading about this, "provocative aplomb" sounds intriguing.

I hadn't seen that bandcamp page. So many words.

I'm actually very impressed by it. I see from Bandcamp that he has a lot of other records out, mostly in group format. If anyone has any they've enjoyed, please let me know.

I've not heard the name before.  If you're on a solo sax thing at the moment let me recommend 'Dreamsing' by Rachel Musson.

And no, I'm not her agent or family...

Spinning this one to start the day because I had to stop it fifteen minutes in yesterday to deal with family stuff and the system was shut down for the rest of the day. . . .

Bud is playing really well here.
