So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Hank Crawford - The Soul Clinic (Atlantic, 1961)

Who is the trumpet player on this record, Phillip Guilbeau? I've never heard of him before. He gets almost the whole of "What A Difference A Day Makes". Not even a Wikipedia page.

Yes Guilbeau.

Now playing

A (re) discovery! I love it more and more while I listen to it.

He recorded with R& B artists before joining the Ray Charles circle in 1960. From 1962 he played in Basie's and Frank Sinatra's orchestras. After 1967, no recordings, only one reunion with Charles in 1975.

There even was this album, lost in the Atlantic vaults fire:

Thanks for that really great information.

There is no other Andrew Hill in the Lord Disco, so, yes.

Guilbeau was born January 16, 1916 in Lafayette, Louisiana, according to discogs.

Now playing:

[HutchFan]

Milton Nascimento - Milton (A&M, 1976)
with Wayne, Herbie, Raul D'Souza, and Hugo Fattoruso (from Airto's Fingers band and Opa) 

Even tho' this may not be "Jazz" (strictly speaking), I would definitely include Milton in my 70s survey if I ever revised it. 

It took me a long while to come around to Nascimento's unconventional voice.  But now I'm all in.

Indeed. I like the musicians involved but was a bit wary at first given the nature of the project. I was very pleasantly surprised, it is both a solid jazz & hip-hop record.  It is a well-thought and executed project. Between the music of the band, the scratches&mastering from Damu and the (fluid but not flowing) rapping of Raw Poetic, 82 years old Shepp blends in as a charm.

I’m extremely allergic to crossover attempts between jazz and hip hop (as opposed to other electronic, “urban” or rap genres, which I think work more naturally, or hip hop with jazz samples), but I think that so much love and time has gone into this one that it really works.
