James Newton - Luella (Gramavision, 1984)

Flute – James Newton
Vibraphone – Jay Hoggard
Violin – Gayle Dixon, John Blake
Cello – Abdul Wadud
Piano – Kenny Kirkland
Bass – Cecil McBee
Drums – Billy Hart

Somebody was asking about "favorite jazz flute records" elsewhere on the board.  My answer: This one! 

Mostly because Luella is so much MORE than just that.

And then they didn't. Seemed like they moved away from a well-rounded(ish) catalog and went more into Scofield/MMW type stuff at the expense of....other things. Nothing wrong with that, of course, those were still good records, but it made me less inclined to go there with them, as those other things either went elsewhere or else OTHER other things sprung up elsewhere. Once that happened, I didn't really give a hoot what was new on Gramavision. I knew it wasn't going to be James Newton or Bob Moses or Billy Hart, so..

I'm sure they had their reasons, everybody does.

Mike Nock - Ondas (ECM, 1982)

 

One of my favourite ECM piano trio albums.  Tends to fly under the radar I think

I was reading about Ondas when I gave that LP a spin.  Turns out that it's one of Manfred Eicher's favorites as well.  In an interview, he said that he listens to Nock's record regularly to this day. 

When I read that, I was sort of surprised that Nock never made another record for ECM.  I wonder why.

All of these Louis Hayes Muse sessions are so freakin' good. This is another great one but probably my least favorite. The Real Thing and Ichi Ban are even better. But this one is very good too. And a good oppurtunity to hear Charles Davis in a prominent role (on baritone sax!)

I didn't know that. Did Nock stay in Europe or go home I wonder.
