Jimmy Giuffre - The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet [Atlantic]

new arrival, purchased largely off the back of positive comments on this board. What a tremendous listen, so many facets to the playing and arrangements. I'll admit that the foot-tapping threw me on first listen (sounded more like a pressing faultĀ :rolleyes:)

Ā Modern Jazz From West Germany Wewerka Archive (1962-1968) ā€“Double LP. Ā Cool in a retro way, with harbingers of more audacious music to come for at least some of the musicians playing here.Ā 

Great 2LP set. Glad I picked up that one plus the other Wewerka compilation whilst they were available.

1964, with Herman Foster, Earl May, Bruno Carr, and Ray Barretto.

I don't own a turntable anymore, but I'm listening to a rip of this, which I just stumbled upon. Ā Not only had I never heard this album before (despite having a large Donaldson collection), I don't have any recollection of seeing this LP (or even the cover image) before. Ā I must have, but I just don't recognize it at all (seems like Argo albums tend to fly under the media radar, so I'm not as surprised). Ā Anyway, I do remember being aware of the title, but that's it. Ā Must have heard about it and forgot about it.Ā It was never released on CD as far as I know, but it's certainly worthy.

Loving "Poinciana", "Skylark", and Lou's solo on "People Will Say We're In Love" is a highlight for me.

I'd like to hear some later Murray that is as "wow-ing" as his earlier work. There's a scrappiness to his playing, at least up through the early 80s, that later recordings didn't offer (to me) but I'm sure there must be some fine examples that've been missed.

(IMO) still there end of 1986Ā (Trio with Richard Davis and Joe Chambers) ....

Ah, thanks -- will check that one out. Loosely aware of its existence but have never heard the music.

I'd vote for this one too.Ā 1988 withĀ Ā Dave Burrell, Fred Hopkins and Ralph Peterson. As I hear it it gets to the essence of what Murray was (is) about - he plays these tunes as if they really mean something to him. Smoother than the earlier "scrappiness" but no less involving, I think

and I definitely agree about those Human Arts Ensemble records, Leeway

David Murray - The London Concert [Cadillac]

Murray was one of my entry points into Jazz so I have a soft spot for his music. Revisiting this after a long while I hear why it made an impact on me but also why I tired of his prodigious output.

I was at that concert. Ā The first time I heard Mr Murray live.
