George Girard - Stompin' at the Famous Door (Vik mono). Girard was a talented New Orleans Dixieland trumpeter. This album has one of my favorite New Orleans clarinetists, Harry Shields, but also, unfortunately, Paul Edwards on drums - he turns every tune into over-the-top Bourbon Street dixieland. Girard is a little over the top himself at times, but mostly sounds fiery and imaginative. I can only imagine how he would have sounded with a little more maturity - seven months after this album was recorded, he was dead of cancer at age 26.

The Garner contains a great harpsichord piece!

And the Doyle is surprisingly good!

The Holy Modal Rounders: The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders (Elektra/Sundazed)

A prime example of an album recorded under the influence. I'm a HMR fan and I'll keep this record - it's actually fun to listen to in limited doses - but I'm sure I'll play others of theirs more than this one.

Jimmy Gourley Quartet "No More" Musica (France) - Parisian 1981 session with Lou Levy (and Dju Berry on 2 tracks)- decent session. Was Dju contracted to Concord ?

He had just signed with Concord and had started recording a couple of albums for the label.

Now spinning:

Albert Ayler 'Swing Low, Sweet Spiritual' (Osmosis)

Ace ! :tup

This one took quite some time to grow on me. It really is an ace . I've got a TOCJ CD, a Toshiba vinyl and a Liberty RVG pressing - I like it so much. FWIW the Liberty just edges the Toshiba but in reality the CD is also just fine sounding.

Humphrey Lyttelton - Jazz at the Royal Festival Hall (Parlophone 10" LP)

Later: I love Bruce Turner's alto playing. Lyttelton and Wally Fawkes also sound good.

One of the first jazz records I bought - in 1957! By the time I got to see Lyttelton play he was infuriating the "traddies" by playing superb Kansas City jazz with a saxophone section of Tony Coe, Jimmy Skidmore and Joe Temperley. I saw them on a tour with Jimmy Rushing.
