Now:

 In one way or another I've been listening to a lot of Dameron lately. Five of the eight tracks on this CD are Dameron compositions. 

 

In an interview Magnarelli named his Dameron date as one of his favourites.

Plenty of Tadd on this too:

Just reading about this, "provocative aplomb" sounds intriguing.

I hadn't seen that bandcamp page. So many words.

I'm actually very impressed by it. I see from Bandcamp that he has a lot of other records out, mostly in group format. If anyone has any they've enjoyed, please let me know.

I've not heard the name before.  If you're on a solo sax thing at the moment let me recommend 'Dreamsing' by Rachel Musson.

And no, I'm not her agent or family...

Got it. Just got a share in the distribution profits.

I will check that one out too.

Thanks!

Spinning this one to start the day because I had to stop it fifteen minutes in yesterday to deal with family stuff and the system was shut down for the rest of the day. . . .

Bud is playing really well here.

A good listen, thanks. Duly wishlisted. It reminded me in part of this which I really rate

Saxophonist with Irreversible Entanglements, and more, but that's how I came across him

Me too now. Streaming Disc 1.  First impression is how much clearer the sound is compared to my 3CD version.

[jazzbo]

Yes, the mixing has really brought the presentation forward and added clarity to the instrumental separation.

I'd avoided them until now, because I thought they were a bit Pitchfork. Stupid prejudgement to make, which will be corrected.

Terrific band whatever Pitchfork are saying. Great live too, playing London in November

Exactly. I couldn't agree more

[HutchFan]

Now spinning Now!

Powerful stuff!  Music that isn't constrained by the usual boundaries and conventions of genre, an experiment that comes off beautifully.

Gene McDaniels should've received a front-cover "Featuring" credit to go along with Harold Land's.

 

Unrelated to the music: How about that photo of Bobby. The word that comes to mind is "baked."

On my "want list" too ....

[Rabshakeh]

Anna Webber's Simple Trio - Binary 

[JSngry]

VERY much appreciate the "anatomy of a track" takes of "Perfect Man" (which seems to intersect with Eddie Harris somehow, somewhere, from whatever directions), plus the inclusion of "Space Probe"...which in hindsight is a prediction of the nightmare that the "real world" came to embrace and OD on basic electronic sound effects in the upcoming decade. Not that that's what he had in mind, but...all a prophet can do is predict what is going to happen, not how it will go once it does, right?

The actual album OG itself, it's nice, I like that a lot.
