Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Posted February 23, 2023 Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds (OJC). I'm still wondering how this can be in someone's top 5 favorite jazz LPs of all time. I mean, yeah, it's nice enough. But top 5? I couldn't do that. Quote

JSngry Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Posted February 23, 2023 This is most definitely wonderful. Quote

For some strange reason, well, "strange" to me that is, Yusef Lateef's "Eastern Sounds" was chosen for release in Craft's ultra-expensive Small Batch audiophile LP series. These LPs are pressed in very small quantities and sell for $100. They sell out instantly, probably because they go for big bucks on the secondary market. The flippers love these records. The first two releases in this series were John Coltrane's "Lush Life" & Miles Davis' "Relaxin'". When "Eastern Sounds" was announced, I made a comment that it was a weird choice and one that would seem to be a "What the..." title next to Trane & Miles. Someone chimed in and said he was very happy that "Eastern Sounds" was chosen because it was one of his Top 5 jazz albums of all time. Quote

To each his own but you're totally right that it's a WTF choice next to the first two. BTW is that series limited to things that went from the Bob Weinstock labels to, ultimately, Concord? I'd think a Hank would fit into the first five releases, myself. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Posted February 23, 2023 Classic Jazz at the Philharmonic Jam Sessions (disc 9) (Mosaic). Fun stuff. I'm really digging "The Slow Blues" that's playing right now. Quote
HutchFan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Posted February 23, 2023 Ricky Ford - Loxodonta Africana (New World Records, 1977) I'm listening to the CD reissue, but the original vinyl cover -- featuring artwork by Romare Bearden -- is much more interesting. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Posted February 23, 2023 Well, since I can't see Ricky play live tonight because of the storm, I'm going to spin this: "Songs For My Mother". For those that don't know, Ford's mother was killed in the TWA Flight 800 crash that also killed Wayne Shorter's wife Maria in 1996. She sounds like she was something special: https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-1996-07-24-9607240343-story.html Quote
