A couple more to add to the recent binge:

Gigi Gryce -- "Rat Race Blues"

Gigi Gryce -- "Sayin' Somethin' !"

I have Rat Race Blues but not Sayin' Somethin'...how is it?

Both on order. Should be here within a week. I typically post in the "buy" thread when I place the order. In fact, often simultaneously, as I press the 'place order' button. ... I should probably wait until they arrive.

I have nothing with Gryce as leader now, but the samples on both of these sounded tremendous. When I've had a chance to spin 'em a couple of times, I'll certainly toss my impressions into the mix. I'm looking forward to both.

Claudio Roditi, Milestones featuring Paquito D'Rivera (Candid)

Saw this pair at Wigan a few years ago. Such fire! It was like listening to the Adderleys - which I'd done 30 years earlier - with a Latin rhythm section. On this album they're with Kenny Barron, Ray Drummond and Ben Riley and the liner note by Ira Gitler is very much in his usual mode:

"I'll Remember April was getting played to death by the end of the 50's. So many years later it smells fresh again

like the air after one of the month's proverbial showers. Roditi is a hip zephyr, staccato bursts setting up bop gusts,

while D'Rivera's dry, hot Sirocco, a high cyclonic as it were, augurs and augers an early spring. Barron eddies through

the tall trees and the underbrush simultaneously. The horns then raise some sand with Riley before Ben blows up a breeze

on his own."

Wow! :excited:

Jazz Impression of the USA just came in. Very nice. I'm a little surprised that this is such a relatively obscure, hard-to-get Brubeck title. I had to buy an import CD. It certainly sounds like it's in the "big middle" of his output, quality-wise.

I think I like "Sayin' Somethin'" best, among Gryce's three OJCs! (The fourth one, by the Jazzlab, I didn't get, as I opted for the Lonehill 3CD set... three single discs, that is).

Fine stuff, all of it! "Reminiscin'" would also deserve CD release/reissue!

**************

yesterday, I had in the mail:

The Band - The Last Waltz (4CD)

The Band - Stage Fright

The Band - Moondog Matinee

(still waiting for "Rock of Ages", "Music from Big Pink" and "Northern Lights, Southern Cross")

and the day before, I found at a used store:

Buster Williams - Somewhere Along the Way (TCB)

Ray Bryant - Alone with the Blues (OJJCD)

Joe Henderson - Double Rainbow (now I'm only missing the Miles disc from his Verve years, I think)

Lee Konitz, Martial Solal Star Eyes: Live In Hamburg 1983

:tup

anything new about this one, except for the cover photo?

This reissue was newly mastered on April 2009, but as I don't have the original issue I unfortunately cannot compare.

Thanks for the info - I guess I'll stay with what I have... I'd rather see Hat reissue some albums from further back, but then this one's excellent of course!
