paul secor Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Chico Freeman 'Morning Prayer' (Why Not) For me, Chico Freeman never lived up to his early promise, but I've always liked that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon, Volume 3: The West Coast Scene (Solid State). Bobby Bryant, Sweets Edison, Pete Christlieb, Harold Land, etc. Leo Smith (not billed as Wadada on the cover) - Divine Love (ECM). Definitely one of ECM's best releases.

jeffcrom Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Steve Lacy - Flakes (Vista). Vista was a short-lived subsidiary of Italian RCA, specializing in avant-garde jazz. This is Lacy at his most "poly-free" radical. My old boss Michael J. Smith plays some wild Hammond organ on "The New Duck." All-Star Marching Band - New Orleans Parade (GNP/Crescendo). This 1978 brass band recording is by a pick-up group, drawn largely from the Onward Brass Band, but it looks like there are few Olympia and Young Tuxedo musicians on hand.

We did some recording that Michael never released, but I put out a couple of tracks on a CD of mine. He got pretty discouraged (understandably) with the Atlanta music scene and went back to Sweden. But in that year, he was quite a figure around here - he'd wear colored jumpsuits with white boots and drive around in a Delorean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Scott Joplin's opera Treemonisha on Deutsche Grammophon, conducted by Gunther Schuller. I don't pull this one off the shelf very often - it's probably been five or six years since I listened to it. And while I like it, every time I hear it, I wish it were better. The music is pretty good, but the libretto, written by Joplin himself, is painfully amateurish. I wish he had gotten James Weldon Johnson to write the libretto.
