Not up to the level of ‘Firebirds’ but solid nevertheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2020 Thanks. If it was up there with Firebirds I would buy it immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simmons seems inhibited by the piano, but Donald just burns — every solo she has. You can really hear the Booker Little influence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2020 Barbara Donald really, really, needs a light shone upon her and her baaaaaaaaaaad self. Magnificent, she was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2020 (edited) Yes, I agree. Barbara Donald plays very nicely on this one, with real fire. Edited 16 Oct 2020 by sidewinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 17 Oct 2020 Not sure if it's been discussed already, but a whole lot of Muse albums are sitting out there OOP and unavailable on digital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of my favorites from the label, none of which have had a digital reissue (to the best of my knowledge): Bill Barron - Jazz Caper Bill Barron - Variations in Blue Joe Bonner - The Lifesaver Joe Bonner - Angel Eyes "Groove" Holmes - Shippin' Out "Groove" Holmes - Good Vibrations Willis Jackson - Headed and Gutted Willis Jackson - West Africa Eric Kloss - Essence Mark Murphy - Sings Mark Murphy - Stolen Moments Cecil Payne - Bird Gets the Worm Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke Sonny Stitt - My Buddy: Sonny Stitt Plays for Gene Ammons Buddy Tate - Live at Sandy's Buddy Tate - Hard Blowin': Live at Sandy's Mickey Tucker - Mister Mysterious Mickey Tucker - The Crawl Jack Walrath - Wholly Trinity Edited 19 Oct 2020 by HutchFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 19 Oct 2020 Been a long time but I recall Blues for Duke as being a nice one ... never saw the My Buddy LP I think I'll try to find a decent copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Oct 2020 I like those Joe Bonner albums, forgot about them. And "Essence" is the Kloss album I was thinking of. Fire with Hannibal on that one. 32jazz put out three extensive 2CD sets of Mark Murphy's Muse work, which seem to contain just about everything he did on the label, but in haphazard form. I would have much preferred them arranged chronologically by album. What a strange label 32jazz was, so very right and so very wrong at the same time!

If you like Brooklyn Brothers, you should definitely get it. They're very similar records -- with Tom Harrell added on Bird Gets the Worm (and Buster Williams subbing for Sam Jones).

Posted 20 Oct 2020 Yeah - SO many albums! I have some of the Earland and Murphy LPs but don't have a turntable setup anymore unfortunately. Some of the Mark Murphy stuff has been reissued in compilations on Concord/Savoy: "Songbook" and "Giants of Jazz: Mark Murphy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
