Charlie Rouse - Yeah! / We Paid Our Dues!

I had my eyes on Rouse's "Unsung Hero" for some time when I found this 2-fer which covered the same material and then some for about half the price. I'm glad I discovered it.

Mose Allison - Swingin' Machine

I dig Mose Allison and was intrigued to hear him in a setting that included horns, a departure from his usual trio.

John Lewis & Sacha Distel - Afternoon In Paris

This recording includes 3/4ths of the Modern Jazz Quartet. (Lewis, Connie Kay and Percy Heath) Barney Wilen was also a draw for me.

Don Wilkerson - The Texas Twister

I saw this one mentioned in another discussion. It looks like a pretty interesting lineup with Nat Adderley, Leroy Vinnegar, Sam Jones, Barry Harris and Billy Higgins.

Omix is Ximo Tebar's label. Is he on that album?

And, by the bye, how do you pronounce a double L at the beginning of a word in Spanish? Is it anything like the Welsh double L?

MG

Nope. No Tebar on that date. It's a trio disc, with Coloma on piano and Hammond XB-2, Josemi Moraleda on double bass and Ramón Díaz on drums.

"Lluis" is a Catalan name, to be pronounced as in Spanish "lluvia". Remember: "la lluvia en Sevilla es una pura maravilla".

:P

Oh, like Y.

Thanks Agustin.

Al Cohn, Nonpareil (Concord).

Beautiful stuff, recorded in 1981 with perfect support by Lou Levy, Monty Budwig and Jake Hanna.

This was a new one on me until a track was played the other week by Bernie Goldberg on Bebop Spoken Here from KBCS. I don't know how he does it, but Bernie has the knack of picking great records unknown to me from a field which I think I know very well! :tup

Charles Earland - Black Drops (OJC)

99p new from an Amazon marketplace seller - criminal.

Jolly good, I say! Back in the day, I could buy Soul Jazz albums very cheaply in the London shops, because my mate and I were the only people in the country who wanted to buy them (or so it seemed). When the Acid Jazz thing came around in the eighties, prices skyrocketed, pissing me off severely.

Now they're coming down again, I've got most of what I want :)

A nice hard bop date featuring Tommy Turrentine and Charlie Rouse as the horns with Ike Quebec playing "Deep In A Dream".Sonny is one of my favorite piano players from this era and so this makes a welcom eaddition to my collection.

A book I read on Blue Note records (forgotten the title) thought this was one of their best sessions ever. I wouldn't go that far, but pretty good, all the same! :)

One of Clark's top 2 or 3 albums, certainly, and a smart one to get before it goes OOP.

A few Blue Note's slated for deletion soon:

Grant Green - "Standards"

You won't regret that one, Tom!

MG

Actually it was your comments MG concerning the Grant Green release in the "deletions thread" which persuaded me into picking this one up. Thanks! :tup
