jazzbo Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Lee Morgan "The Complete Live at the Lighthouse" disc 6 Really enjoying this set. The sound has definitely been "modernized." In a good way. I really admire Benny Maupin's work and having more is . . . more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Horace Tapscott Sextet - Dial 'B' for Barbra (Nimbus West, 1981) One of my favourite records from that LA scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Among other thigs, it can be a CTI record for people who hate CTI records! Of all the Ra records where listening to the inside of the music takes you deeper to the point than does just staying on the surface, this one makes it easier than most. Then again, that's true of most all music, the surface is where they get your attention, the inside is where they keep it...to do what it will...

jazzbo Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I need to revisit the new release of Languidity again very soon. A Sun Ra album that is inescapable once you've really felt the recording. Now, a shift in gears perhaps, but music I love as well. Duke Ellington, “Volume 6: 1929” Masters of Jazz (Media7, France) Sometimes I try to imagine how this music would see and feel like performed by these guys in 1929. I cannot conjure an accurate image, but the imagining is fun. It has an impact for me now, and imagine an even greater impact to many at that time.

Rabshakeh Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Paul Bley, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Bruce Ditmas - Jaco (Improvising Artists, 1974) My first time listening to this. Pastorius is absolutely great, but Bley and particularly Metheny really aren't there at all. It's like very weak Weather Report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you can't even heard whether it is the synths or the guitar that's playing. At least Pastorius is prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm giving this one a long overdue relisten, off the back of the recent Ernie Watts thread. Charlie Haden's Quartet West - Always Say Goodbye (Verve Gitanes, 1994) The 90s had some incredible long term groups like Quartet West, the Fo'tet and Motian's Trio. I kick myself every time I listen to them for not remembering to put them on more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the text out of the horn that really gets me, GCSE graphic design. I'll go and have a lie down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Maybe the bar is low. Anything better than 32 Jazz is usually OK by me. I would draw the line at buying a t shirt of that Harriott cover though (currently on sale).
