Am Three and then Me "Mingus Sound of Love" Leo cd

Wanted some Mingus interpretations new to me and received a few discs in the mail from squid.co yesterday.

[Peter Friedman]

Loved this one since I first bought it on Lp when it was originally issued in the 50's.

I love the way that bass clarinet sounds! As far as the bass goes it seemed the same to me on the US or Japanese sets.

Right now, another Mingus material disc:

Normand Guilebault Ensemble "Hommage a Mingus"

Lester Bowie - The 5th Power (Black Saint, 1978)

 

Great record that feels underrated in comparison to very much equivalent contemporaneous records under the AEC's name.

Yes, great album! I only discovered it via the 3-disc Lester Bowie Black Saint/Soul Note box, one of my favorites in that series.

Lester Bowie and Amina Claudine Meyers go together like peanut butter & chocolate.  Two great sounds that sound even better together.

Sam Yahel Trio - Truth and Beauty (2007)

Would this be the VJ record you most recommend?

There was some talk on here recently about his influence on the British saxophonist John Butcher.

No. I've only got two and the other's on Elektra's American Explorer label and sounds like they were trying to make big money. I've been looking for his material since then (27 years) and found this on a blog the other day. So I can't give recommendations on the strength of that. I thought it was a killer, is all I can say.

Jeff Crom has a good many of Vernard's records. Ask him.

I love this. Sounds silly, but I think it's my favourite record that I don't really like all that much.

I've never heard of this one. Does the vocalist sing on every track?

Osdalgia Lesmes - Contigo live - Mimisma Prodns (her own company)

Bloomin' fantastic singer!

[Dub Modal]

This is a good comp of Dolphy's Prestige recordings. Then it was on to: 

A so-so comp, but has some good playing. 

And now:

So much better than Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which I think (at least that first disc) may have been rehearsals (need to check the booklet again). This big band in concert is phenomenal.

No, two or three.
