Posted 24 October 1 hour ago, Justin V said: Joshua Breakstone - Japanese Songs: I purchased this after catching Breakstone's Blakey tribute on Tuesday. I chose this album because of Al Harewood, whose subtle, swinging drumming meshes well with Breakstone and Earl Saul's work. I'll have to check out more of Breakstone's discography, as he is a thoughtful player who chooses substance over flash and keeps heavy company. He'll be playing here in Santa Fe on Nov. 8. Planning to attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 October Gary Bartz "Bartz" . . . . The cheesiest of Bartz records probably. But I love Bartz' sound and "singing playing" so much that I just listen past the discoed arrangements to his "voice." He had such joy and energy at this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 October Oh, my. This one hits hard. I decided to give it a spin with my seldom-used Amazon Music subscription (I'm not sure whether it is included with just Prime) and am a bit surprised to see the download is selling for only $3.87. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That one is a favourite - one of those things I would have loved to witness in person in that Vancouver club. Bought it on vinyl on RSD a couple of years ago, heck of a lot more than $3.87 though !

Essential for any die-hard Mingus fan. It has the short-lived group from 72/73 with Joe Gardner, John Stubblefield, Pullen and Roy Brooks. Radio broadcast tape held by the Brooks Estate, authorised for release by Sue Mingus. Sound quality is more than acceptable and the live atmosphere well captured. A ‘find’, for sure. I think the Forum ran a thread on this one if you do a search. From the Nucleus Vertigo box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 October SteepleChase’s website looks like a simple placeholder with no menu. Have they been hacked? Did they fail to renew their url? Are they gone? Anyone know? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 October (edited) The Jimmy Heath - Triple Threat: I'll be listening to more Jimmy Heath today in celebration of his 93rd birthday. I've been listening to this one lately after a few years away from it. The sound he achieves with just a sextet is so rich and full. This has to be one of my favorite Freddie Hubbard sideman dates as well. Edited 25 October by Justin V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
