Binker Golding - Moon Day (2021)

I always think of Golding as a young up and coming talent, but he's not much younger than me.

I thought that was really good.  There's a new Binker&Moses from Gearbox due soon.  I've liked all their previous releases.  oddly, I just couldn't get on with Binker's leader date on Gearbox.

I agree. I think they are a strong partnership. Boyd is a Very Good Thing for the London scene in my opinion. Golding's style is a little pastichey, I think, but I enjoy what he does. It's particularly good here because the bass and percussionist get to push him around with a bit of freedom, which draws him out.

I agree on that leader date, although for me it is partly down to the cover photo, which does agree with me.

For me, it´s the very best from all BN albums Dexter made in the 60´s. 

I like them all, but let´s say: "Dexter Calling" would be great, but somehow the great rhythm section, one of the best of all, somehow does not fit to Dexter or vice versa.

"Gettin Around" is a bit too comfortable

"A Swinging Affair" would be from the same date als "Go" but doesn´t have the same fire.....

After my Ray Charles bash yesterday, I carried on with Ray - yes, a real overdose

For me too as a reunion, but I didn´t mention it in this context, because it´s a rare thing at BN to record such reunions, they usually used current rhythm sections. 

As I know, the 1963 date for Dexter in Paris was meant to be with Kenny Drew on piano, who got sick. Dexter wanted to do originals and Bud would not cooperate on that new material. So what came out was a topnotch bop session with some of the most famous bop standards played by three creators of that style with the fantastic Pierre Michelot. 

That´s my impression on that album. But as I said, it´s quite untypical for BN.

David Binney - South (ACT, 2003)

Enjoying this one a lot on first listen. In a forward-thinking modern jazz vein, with Binney and Potter on the front line.

Over the years, this has become one of my favorite Horace Silver recordings. I still pull it off the shelf before a lot of his classic Blue Note dates.

[jazzbo]

"Svensk Jazzhistoria Vol. 10 - Swedish Jazz 1965 - 1969 - Watch Out!" disc 2

A volume full of interesting music in great sound. I've always liked Swedish jazz and this series gives a fascinating overview.

Undoubtedly the best of his post-Blue Note albums and NOT just because of Ronnie Cuber, though I AM a fan of his. It seems to me to be part of the same batch as his sixties recordings, though it's not, of course. But the feel is the same and the approach to the compositions is.

Thanks to discussion on another board I pulled out this 3 disc set to listen to--a fascinating collection of full reel transfers of fascinating sessions by this fascinating Quintet.

Lee Konitz - Zounds (Soul Note, 1990)

Just when I think I've heard every angle of Lee Konitz' music.

[jazzbo]

I was fooling around with a Telecaster and my Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight SE amp yesterday and found some Curtis Mayfield sounds . . . which made me make a mental note to listen to some Curtis today.

So now spinning "Superfly" 2 cd edition, disc 1
