  1. Broke in my daughters new turntable in tonight with Jackie Macs right now mono ny usa; tommy turrentines time record; sonny stitts the hard swing on the trumpeter logo label, Mingus' jazz portraits on UA stereo, Stitt n gonsalves salt n pepper on impulse stereo n mjq/ milt Jackson quintet on prestige w50th label
  2. And Reggie Workman (I think it's him when he pairs down with just Sam in between the ensemble sections) on Crystals is some of the sickest playing I've ever heard from him. I like Jimmy Garrison too especially on Ornette on Tenor n Tranes One Down One Up
  3. Thx for the bday wishes over the years Ive been really trying to put a period on my dissertation which has pretty much sucked up what little social life I have left
  4. Wish i had that one! t have tears for dolphy which I know is the Fontana date
  5. waves is rediculously good, get this first
  6. One of my favorites right up there with the Atlantics Charlie Haden owned this record imo
  7. Lately I've been really enjoying hank as composer. Slice dippin third season come immediately to mind.
  8. I find trouble squabbling over these classic dates; just to show myself there can be a discrempesy I put on kind of blue n something else n the sidewinder n I'm confused if ur not moved; but subjectivity wins. But the ones that don't move me: ruff n tumble; with the 3 sounds or any 3 sounds n greens am I blue n lous work from lush life on n byrds work from 66 on just sayin
  9. Found two used CDs, firebirds signed by prince lasha n in the dollar bin one signed by bobby Few
  10. Man what a year so far for losing jazz greats. What a loss.
  11. And Hill's piano-trio work too, come to think of it -- or a lot of it, anyway. Including a few one-off "trio only" tracks from his various Blue Notes (63-66) where the horn(s) sat out, along with a handful of post-BN albums. Also much of Smokesstack (with two bass players, and no horns), and Judgement! (no horns, piano trio plus Bobby Hutcherson) -- would qualify here. Pretty much anything with or by Hill, without horns probably qualifies.[/quote Hill period any period. I love the chaos he created in 65 espicially with compulsion
  12. Up listening to heiner stadler's jazz alchemy n what a cast: r. Davis, workman, crispell, et al. This is amazing shit. Also on tomato, Sam rivers's waves another amazing date , all listenable if u will . Excuse me if these have been mentioned, writing late n crossed my mind.
  13. Oh no. Largely a lurker these days, but this is painful. RIP. Science Fiction is on que.
  14. Hal Russell. This guy is blowing my mind. I listened to the Finnish/Swiss tour and that was great but Hal's Bells and the Hal Russell Story knocked me sideways. This is incredible stuff!! So yeah, Hal Russell.
  15. What if Larry Young played on this set, do you think it would've made a difference (and I'm a huge LY fan, but LS brings his own too) or what if he had a trumpeter like Blue, or maybe Lee? Don't know, just kickin' ideas around because I like what I hear, but the (potentiontial) sidemen could send this so much higher. What do you think? (and sorry if this has been discussed before) .
  16. Chuck Wayne was mentioned above, thought I plug Morning Mist too.
  17. Another puzzling loss. RIP.
  18. Just getting around to this mofo. Just bought his Decca stuff and damn is it so effing good. S ad to hear he's gone.
  19. New perspective of this incredible concert:
  20. Maybe Charles Lloyd if Forest Flower met In a Silent Way around the same time.
  21. Maybe Joe McPhee in the early seventies bands. They weren't too far apart musically, imo at the time.
