Oh cool. I do know him then. I had just assumed that he was Ari Brown. 

O Neal's Porch is my favourite William Parker record.

Ari Brown's good too. Try him with Kahil El 'Zabar

or this

Omar Sosa & NDR Big Band "Es: Sensual" featurnig the arrangements of Jacques Morelenbaum

My system broke into an anxious sweat when it saw this one being loaded into the transport, but it's playing it back with aplomb.

The El Zabars I know and like a lot. The Moye looks interesting and will be checked out. Thanks.

How refreshing it is to see a Blues record with liner notes - lengthy ones at that - composed by the artist themself.

Also refreshing to hear the results of having a not-outstanding artist backed by jazz musicians who know how to play blues with empathy, as opposed to some stylistically indigenous players of equal or lower quality of not-outstanding-ness.

Like a well-mixed drink, this one goes town smooth and repetition works in its favor.

Oh, btw - Curtis Amy is RIGHT on this record. right in every way.

Two other groups that travels somewhat the same path are Kyoto Jazz Massive and United Furutre Organization

https://www.discogs.com/artist/1808-Kyoto-Jazz-Massive

https://www.discogs.com/artist/29568-United-Future-Organization

Those two + Jazzanova are sort of my "Big 3" for "remix jazz".

Kyoto Jazz Massive actually popped up in the continued play algorithm once that Of All the Things record played through and I dug that sound too. United Future Org will be checked out as well. Thanks for the lead!

Charles Mingus "Tijuana Moods" Jazz Connoisseur Legacy Sony cd

Listening to the trio version of "Dizzy's Moods" made this spin inevitable. . . .

Listening to the European cd from 2016. I have a handful of versions of this one. . . been listening to it for four decades now.

[Rabshakeh]

Giorgio Gaslini Quartet – Dalla Colonna Sonora Del Film "La Notte" (Cinevox, 1967)

This is a great one. Some beautiful compositions. 

Sadly, streaming it whilst wearing a tracksuit like a schlub, rather listening to it on pristine ultra rare original pressing vinyl, in my fur coat.

The Vandermark Quartet - Big Head Eddie (Platypus, 1993)

 

Anthony Davis – Variations In Dream-Time

 

[Rabshakeh]

Don Ellis- How Time Passes (Candid, 1960)

My first listen to this one. I'm quite struck by how much it anticipates some of the Second Quintet's most famous moves, but also by how much less I enjoy it than those later records.

One of those records that damn near everybody can enjoy to one degree or another. Me myself, I never give it the "one and done treatment", it plays more than a few time before it goes out.
