So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Peter Friedman]

[Rabshakeh]

Craig Chaquico, Russ Freeman – From The Redwoods To The Rockies (Windham Hill, 1998)

I've been having fun with the Rippingtons recently, and been trying to find a similar hit of fizzy pop. It's not this. This one is dreadful.

Charles Fambrough – The Proper Angle (CTI, 1991)

This one's cool. Sadly no Rippingtons connection though. We all have room for self improvement.

Any others of his records worth listening to? They all have enticing line ups.

This was likely only on LP. Not on itunes sadly. Raoul Romero writes fine arrangements. Powerful. 

Now (one I seem to be listening to quite frequently):

Roach's playing is intense on this album. I've got that Mosaic Single as well - love it!

I picked up that Farewell record recently via the Octave Lab Deep Jazz Reality series. Excellent record!

Yes, it is a gem for sure. Agree totally re: Roach too. He is absolutely on fire but in a 100% controlled manner on tracks such as ‘Lover’. Glorious stuff.

Great feature for Yusef in ‘Like Someone in Love’ too.

Back on deck for a well deserved re-spin or three.

I have listened to it once and one think I remember, that my wife liked the first tune. She said it sounds like a movie score for some nostalgic "film polițist"........in black white or so......

Miles Davis “E.S.P.” Mobile Fidelity SACD

This one is waking me up.

I need more quiet in my head than I have now to be able to do this one full justice. But I know it's there to be had.

Leon Thomas “Full Circle” Flying Dutchman cd

Not your typical Leon Thomas album, but it has that Friday thang goin’ on. … . The Santana tune is great.

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis / Johnny Griffin “Pisces” OJC cd

Recorded for Riverside on May 3, 1962 but never issued until this cd. Could be because of the darned celeste.

I woke up with some of this music in my head for some reason, so I pulled this from the shelves.

I've never seen that one before.  Good stuff?

Very good. Brawny slightly Avant adjacent Chicago big band with a commitment to the tradition. Similar concept to Kahil El Zabar's smaller groups.

Early 00s weren't a great time for mainstream jazz in my opinion. This is one of my favourites from that era.
