Masayuki "JoJo" Takayanagi - Free Form Suite (Free Blind Mice, 1972)

The first tune of this could be Guiffre. The rest, less so. 

I think that's such a clever album, the way they progress through the styles on each track from the Giuffre 3 to something way beyond that by the end. i can remember playing it for the first time and thinking "what's this?" on that first track as I'd bought it unheard and was expecting full-on from the off

Bengt-Arne Wallin - Old Folklore in Swedish Modern (DUX, 1962)

Well this was a surprise! New to me and possibly the best thing I have listened to all week. Folk, pagan, exotica and jazz in big band setting with some excellent Sahib Shihab, from the 1960s Swedish scene.

Another excellent recommendation from the Euromodernism thread.

Now on to The Magic of Ju Ju (Impulse!, 1968) by Archie Shepp.

Jazz Sur Seine (Philips, 1959)

I am interested to learn from Discogs that this was not in fact originally a Barney Wilen leader date, and that he was in fact second named co-billing.

Is that the session where Milt only plays piano?

Seems an age ago I ordered the LP and I've just checked, it's not shipping until January. That's taking the piss, JiB

I was convinced a month or so ago that they were showing the vinyl as ready for shipment within 2 days but maybe not. All the smaller operations over here seem to have been hit by plant capacity issues.

That's right.

I think it's had several dates, it certainly wasn't 2022 when I ordered it. I daren't now look at the Mandala ship date. I usually wait for the LP rather than listening to the download but I think exceptions need to be made soon

I figured ‘a bird in the hand...’

Thanks, I keep seeing his name and thinking 'must get that' as the vibes would be great in the line-up. Ho hum

I don't know how many takes they did that day, but when the tape stopped rolling on this one, surely everybody in the room (including the seemingly immortal Roy Haynes) must have known they had just recorded a stone cold classic.

Beloved platter ....

Oh yeah, Dușco Goicovici , I loved him. This is another musician who was presented at Herwig Wurzer´s Jazz Shop. That Macedonia stuff is great, isn´t one of the tunes that wonderful "saga secorama". And the other , more "american" thing was an Enja recording "After Hours". 
And I love his trumpet sound....., once I heard that Miles also liked him very much and was the first who told him to go to the States.

Great DiRubbo quartet session last night at Smalls. 

From his recording history looks like he's had a long association with last night's sidemen, Rudy Royston and Brian Charette.
