This one seems pretty obscure and is quite nice:

I'm not certain if this has been mentioned in this lengthy thread. But I came across this when I saw it mentioned on the VSOP Records thread. The obvious ones like Conte Candoli, Frank Rossolino, Mel Lewis, Richie Kamuca, Marty Paich, Art Pepper, Herbie Harper usually garner the attention. This date lead by guitarist Dempsey Wright features Richie Kamuca, Victor Feldman, Ben Tucker and Stan Levey. A real nice session I believe people should take a look at especially if you enjoy West Coast Jazz from the 1950's. A real nice surprise for me.

I saw that vinyl at the Jazz Record Center. I wanted to buy it, but it was in the $100 section!

We were talking on another forum about the albums made by Joe Diorio and Wally Cyrillo on Spitball Records in 1974. They never made it to CD. It was considered a radical approach to intervallic improvisation on the guitar:

It is a very very good session. McPherson and Don Friedman fit together beautifully.

Too bad it is not more readily available at a decent price.

Got a spare scarf to throw in? A well-supplied tackle box? Unreleased Bettie Page photos?

Find a way to make me say "yes", please.

Greg Osby has made DVDs?

I have a number of McPherson CDs I'm willing to sell for $499 each. I'll even put some gift wrap and a red ribbon on it for you.

All I'm saying is that's the price on Amazon.

I'm not the seller.

A wonderful CD.

That's my fave Bickert LP. It's a reissue of the Sackville LP with a white cover showing the outlines of Bickert smoking a cigarette.

Nice one - the Antibes concert vinyl has (IMO) the benefit of a better coherence though ....

Thanks!

Not jazz per se but a beautiful set of recordings nevertheless.

"Ted Lucas flirted with fame in the late 60s in the Spike Drivers and Misty Wizards, studied with Ravi Shankar, went home to Detroit and played sitar for Motown, and recorded his album, referred to by family and friends as The OM Record (after Ted's private label name), in Detroit and Nashville."
