Bobby Watson & Horizon - The Inventor (Blue Note, 1990)

IMO, Watson's music has an irresistible, swaggering charisma about it.

Fond memories of seeing that band, playing some of that album too. ‘Post Motown Bop’ another really good one.

Nice!  I've never seen Watson perform.  Hope to rectify that some day.   

re: Post Motown Bop -- I love that record too.  It might even be my "desert-island pick" for Watson.

The Baron?!?!?!?!

How long has he been over there?

[jazzbo]

Dunno, haven't found any specific info nor do I know if he recorded more with the WDR.

Perhaps he was touring with an American band and Carmen pegged him for that chair?

Next up:

Rod Williams - Hanging in the Balance (Muse, 1989)

I dig this. Rod Williams' compositions are interesting, and the Marty Ehrlich - Graham Haynes front line sounds really good.

Revisiting this one. A great chill pill.

Jackie and Roy "High Standards" Concord cd

I like these Jackie and Roy albums with vibes.

I agree, jazzbo.  J&R's voices and arrangements work very well with vibes.

Miles Davis "Circle in the Round" CBS/Sony 2 cd set (from the "Complete Columbia Albums" box) disc 1

Listening particularly to the title track, which is a fascinating lengthy piece.

I have a soft spot for Gordon. I'd have liked to have seen where he'd have gone had he not been so linked with Marsalis / JatLC. From the post fame end of Marsalis' career when, to my ears, he sometimes seemed to be doing pedagogical reenactment rather than playing anything "true", Gordon always stuck out as the guy who was a bit more real within the retro setting than anyone else. Perhaps I am talking drivel.

Anyway, how is this one?

So much love for that, one of the first jazz box sets I ever bought. My copy is beat to hell around the edges because I’ve carried it to work so often in a bag. Same with the Monk Blue Note set that came out around the same time.

Right now:
