McFarland's arrangements are creative and sensitive, the interplay between him and Scott and the bassist and drummer (Richard Davis, Ron Carter, Mel Lewis) are subtle and superb. IMO McFarland had a deeper understanding of bossa nova than any other jazzman. That documentary on McFarland, This Is Gary McFarland, is finally available on the Fandor channel, but you have to have a subscription. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 Here is another obscure Art Farmer CD. Recorded in Poland in 1995 & 1996 Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 Obscurity is a tricky word... To many people, Jazz is an obscure musical genre. Some Jazz discs I have were produced in low quantities, but most of us here have probably heard it and may own it. Does that mean it's not obscure to us? There's a CD that I play often but I don't see in the used bins often. It's out of print. The label's out of print. It might be obscure. It might not be. Anyway, I think you should hear this if you haven't already. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 It looks like Klaus Weiss is one of the "flavors of the month" for obscure recordings that should be heard. This is one I like a lot. This is my other Klaus Weiss CD. A big band date including players such as Benny Bailry, Don Rader, Jiggs Whigham, Bob Burgess, and Herb Geller among others. Quote

JSngry Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 I don't think that everyone should hear these, but they are kind of obscure, and i do find them interesting on several level. and this one...don't know that I've actually heard it yet, so I think I should hear it, never mind everybody!

In Angel's long bio they never mentioned Arthur Lee, Love or Forever Changes. There's a good account of Angel's sessions with Lee for the FC album in the bio of Arthur Lee, Forever Changes. Thanks for the link! Odd indeed. But they are great arrangements. http://www.richieunterberger.com/botnick.html Another one: https://www.discogs.com/Jesse-Powell-Blow-Man-Blow/release/6275889 Quote
Pim Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 What about Tchangodei? In my opinion an underrated jazz pianist with a lovely touch. These are my two favorites: Hard driven modal freejazz with the wonderful Steve Lacy. The title song is amazing. This one is one of my all time favorite jazz recordings. I have been searching for a cd version for 8 years now and I still haven’t found one the Volcanic label is now defunct. Still dying to get a copy. Quote
sgcim Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 This guy was a great player who had a serious stroke at a young age and died soon after. This was his only record as a leader. https://www.discogs.com/John-Gray-The-New-Wave/release/4814654#images/9732758 Quote
sgcim Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 No one has ever played the guitar like this dude. He used fingerpicks because he said he used to drop the pick all the time when he played drunk. He was member number 11 of The Hell's Angels when he was younger. Look at him. He was one dangerous dude: https://www.discogs.com/Buddy-Fite-Buddy-Fite/master/470825#images/7500534 Quote
sgcim Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 This was the only record John Collins, Dizzy's buddy and musical advisor during the founding of bebop, ever made as a leader. I don't know if it ever came out on CD. https://www.discogs.com/John-Collins-The-Incredible/release/9862178#images/27165407 Quote
