George Lewis - Keeper of the Flame (Storyville). I was completely unaware of this eight-disc set until yesterday, when I saw it in the Louisiana Music Factory. I went back to my hotel, looked up the contents, and saw that it had a bunch of sessions I had been looking for, like the 1954 Jazz at the Ohio Union date, as well as some very cool stuff that I was unfamiliar with. Very glad to have this.

A newly reissued two disc set of this "live" concert recording with bonus tracks from each of the featured performers:  Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, The Miracles and Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers.  One would have thought Motown would have reissued this last year to mark the 50th anniversary of the concert, but better late than never.

Listening now. Very adventurous playing! I'm always looking through the enja catalogue for good stuff. It's too bad Wide Open spaces is out of print. I definitely want that one!

Just scored this off eBay:

Jimmy Rowles & Michael Moore - "Profile": The Music of Henri Renaud (Columbia, 1981)
I've wanted to hear this French import for a long time, but I never could find it for a reasonable price -- until today. :)

Picked up some used lps today at my favorite local.

 

kenny Wheeler Quintet - Flutterby, Butterfly (Soul Note)

The Paul Bley Group (Soul Note)

Egberto Gismonti - Sol Do Meio Dia (ECM)

Max Roach Again Vol.2 (Yes To Jazz) Portugal pressing

Al Cohn & Zoot Sims - Body and Soul (Muse)

Doc & Merle Watson - Pickin' The Blues (Flying Fish)

Randy Newman (Reprise) orig. mono 

 

average price was under $8.  I got a bit of a discount which helped.  I have the original stereo pressing of the Randy Newman album but decided to check out the mono for grins since it was only $6.

Robert Wyatt-Different Every Time 2CD Anthology

Grateful Dead - Red Rocks '78

Grateful Dead- s/t 1971 live album

Red Rocks 78 is strong

if you like the latter 71 live recording, you will want the 4 CD box Ladies and Gentlemen from the same April 71 run at The Fillmore East. As good as Skull & Roses is, there are some truly mind-blowing sequences on L&G - specifically the 4th disc which culminates in a 30 minute run from Alligator through the strongest Cold Rain and Snow on record. What comes before and after on the same disc is almost as strong.

I've been sampling Ladies & Gentleman, and I definitely want to pick up a copy. Red Rocks is decent, but it doesn't blow me away. But I'm just getting my feet wet. I never bothered to buy a Dead album for almost 40 years, but now I'm getting into it. I actually plucked  8 CDs out of the Barnes & Noble bargain bin.  Mostly studio albums from '67-'74. And I got Red Rocks, and Allah at another store. Kinda wish I would've skipped Allah and got a copy of One From The Vault instead. And I definitely should have skipped Terrapin Station. But these digi-pack re-issues with all of the extra material are a good thing. Anthem Of The Sun is great! But the '71 live album is my favorite. Great material, sound, and wonderful performances.

When ready for the ultimate, Dick's Picks 4 (2/13 & 2/14/70)

buy 3 CD Fillmore West 1969. As good as it gets before the Workingman Dead and American Beauty songs come forth. Energy level from an alternate universe.

then although not in great sound DP 8, Harpur College 5/2/70.
