I think I'll order the Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Johnny Griffin from this series next.

I can tell you that it's among the friskier Jaws/Griff sides of all time, one of the very friskiest, in fact.

I only have the outstanding (performance & sound) Promising Music reissue of Though Tenors Again N Again, originally MPS. Where should I go from there? The early Prestige OJCs? The other new live date Ow! Live At The Penthouse?

I'd go to this Onkel Po thing, then to Griff & Lock (part of the OJC Blues Up & Down CD), and then to the rest of the OJCs, stopping for Ow! somewhere along the way, and not stop until you have them all.

Use this as a gauge, though. If it doesn't do it for you, stop now and wuit while you're ahead:

You might start with two OJCs that were my "gateway drug" for this duo: The Tenor Scene and Live at Minton's.  With an outstanding rhythm section: Junior Mance, Larry Gales and Ben Riley.  ... But you can hardly go wrong with Griff & Lock.  They're all good.

I found a sealed copy of Blues Up & Down on Discogs. The Onkel Po was already in my Jazz Messengers cart for the next monster order.

Thanks.

This Canadian reedman died some years ago at a relatively young age, but he was a fine player, very talented. This is a terrific recording.

Interesting how the idea came to spin this today:

Yesterday I did some ballroom dancing with my wife and the big band played "A Train" so I decided to spin Mingus at Monterey with that Ellington Medely with the most powerful "A Train". Somehow it´s interesting how Mingus combines the tradition with the more rough aspects of the newer thing. It´s almost like Sun Ra doing Fletcher Henderson arrangements in his unique rough style, swing in the Space Age.......same with Mingus here. 

And "Orange was the Colour of her dress" is beautiful, the strongest McPherson solo I ever heard, and Byard with this very churchy bluesy piano, and Lonnie Hillyer strong influenced by Dizzy, but completly his own. 

And the large orchestra version of "Meditations", very interesting though I prefer the quintet sextet versions with Dolphy. 

A great album !
