Great record! Now listening to more of John Scofield's early-80s band with Steve Swallow & Adam Nussbaum: Shinola (Enja) Quote
jazzbo Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Right now, the mono version of this classic on the Universal Platinum SHM-CD. Sounds stupendous. Probably the best I've heard this in Redbook form. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Listening to this in preparation to "Triplicate" which should hit my mailbox in a few hours. I love this album and it sounds really really good to me. Quote
HutchFan Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Light & Lovely (Black & Blue) Is there anyone cooler than Jaws? He makes that cardigan look bad-ass. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) That's really true, Lock was cooler than cool. But never cold! Right now . . . . Saw these guys, Hippo Campus, on TV over a year ago and ordered their first release, an EP, "Bashful Creatures". . . it was cheap. I realize I hadn't listened to it since I got it! I was impressed with their "clean" Fender guitar sounds and playing. They remind me oddly enough of early Pretenders if the Pretenders were bashful nice people instead of the punky brewsters they were. Anyway, a nice listen, something different. Now for something TOTALLY different: Black Saint Records, 1984 David Murray – tenor saxophone, bass clarinet James Blood Ulmer – guitar Don Pullen – piano Lonnie Plaxico – bass Marvin "Smitty" Smith – percussion Harmolodic Jack Johnsonesque goodness.
