That and the 'To Duke With Love' album are superb. Can't go wrong with the classic Cedar Walton Trio.

And "Yesterday's Thoughts" (East Wind) from the same recording sessions in July 1975 ....

Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis

Streaming this one (would love to own it) in honour of Dave Bailey's passing. Best taken with a fistful of statins.

Does anyone know who the cigar smoking gentleman in white is?

Now on to this solid archival release of Parker in the days of his springtime freshness. 

Evan Parker – NYC 1978

From a user comment to the slightly underwhelming FJC blog end of year list.

Darius Jones - fLuXkit Vancouver (its suite but sacred)

Some enjoyable writing for string quartet vs saxophone. Probably needs another listen.

I have to thank @HutchFan. 

On this thread he had posted those two, some months ago and when I asked him about it he stated "it´s exactly what YOU will like". 

And damn right he is. 

That´s the kind of music I listen to with most pleasure and exitement. 
The three from the frontline each of them my very favourites, the rhythm section superb, Billy Childs such a great piano and keyboard player, I first heard his stuff on that J.J.Johnson-Nat Adderly album from Japonia from the late 70´s. He was so young and such a gas. And bass and drums in the best matter you can imagine, the way that they can be heard. 

The music still some swing rhythm, but in the manner I like it. Creating tension and space as well. 

My all time favourite Hubbard tune from as early as I was maybe 13,14 "Red Clay". I like the original record and all those super powerful live versions, like with V.S.O.P. 

I listened to it the last two days somewhere after midnight. Between the equipment and Serena where 2 rooms with closed doors, so I could really listen to it LOUD to hear everything like it would have sounded from stage......

Evan Parker & Paul Lytton – Collective Calls (Urban) (Two Microphones) (1972)

A bit of early European Free Jazz fire from before the names Parker and Lytton stood for an established style.

Fourth day with in-laws from Austin yesterday, a lot of fun with the two youngsters. Glad to be sitting in front of the stereo!

A very pretty album for a rainy cold winter morning.

Harry Allen “Something about Jobim” Stunt cd

Authentic Brazilian vibe with Helio Alves, Joyce and her husband Tutty Moreno on board.
