Picked up these four LPs today:

- Max Roach Quartet - Chattahoochee Red (Columbia)
After hearing Pictures in a Frame (Soul Note), I wanted to hear the next recording by this band (with Odean Pope, Cecil Bridgewater, and Calvin Hill). This is it.

- Sal Nistico - Neo/Nistico (Beehive)
I likely won't spring for the Mosaic Beehive set, so I decided to go for this one.  Plus it was one of the LPs at the center of the "Great Organissimo-Ethan Iverson Mosaic Beehive Set Review Controversy / Smack-Down of 2015." How could I resist? ;) 

- Mal Waldron & Gary Peacock - First Encounter (Catalyst/Victor)
I've wanted this for a LONG time. It was one of the few 1970s Waldron records that I'd never heard. Listening now. Woo-hoo!!!

- Philly Joe Jones - Advance (Galaxy)
with Harold Land, Blue Mitchell, Cedar Walton, et al. What's not to like???

Bought and then returned Valery Ponomorev's "A Star for You." He's a good player, but he defaults into the upper register way too much -- messes up his lines and makes my head hurt.

I remember seeing him with Art Blakey way back when. One of Art's under-rated groups, I think. Valery was good in the ensemble, which also had Bobby Watson and David Schnitter.

While in Chicago for a couple of days of Wadada Leo Smith concerts and exhibit of his scores (curated by John Corbett) I purchased a new cd of solos by Wadada on Corbett vs. Dempsey. At the end of the final event (a wonderful solo recital) Corbett announced the cds were defective and he would mail replacements in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to this recorded program of solo pieces from 1977.

Thanks MG. I'll keep an eye out for it. :) 

 

 

Henry Brant's Concord Symphony, his recasting for orchestra of Ives' Concord Sonata. Had time to listen to just the first five minutes or so -- very impressive. Got the Dennis Russell Davies recording, not the Michael Tilson Thomas.

I agree, Larry.

It's clear that Brant has spent a long time immersed in Ives' music. His orchestration is remarkably "Ivesian," completely idiomatic.

Found some interesting vinyl at Wuxtry today...

ChicoFreeman_SpiritSens.jpg

Chico Freeman - Spirit Sensitive (India Navigation, 1979)
Looking forward to hearing this one.

 

 

Got this LP too:

RoswellRudd_FlexFlyer.jpg

Roswell Rudd - Flexible Flyer (Arista Freedom, 1974)
I'd downloaded Flexible Flyer a few years ago -- but having it feels so much more "legitimate" now that I have the vinyl. The collector in me likes having something TANGIBLE. Irrational? Probably. Yeah. What can I say? ;)

Bought that on on LP when it first came out - will have to dig it out. A very good seller as I recall at the time - at least for a jazz LP on India Navigation !
