HutchFan Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Buster Williams - Griot Libertè (HighNote, 2004) Buster is a singer of a different sort -- but he's a singer nonetheless. He makes that bass sing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 A perfectly professional album of very professional (and occasionally interesting!) playing, and if you have an insatiable and/or yet-satiated appetite for that type of thing, I'd recommend it without hesitation.

Rabshakeh Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Paul Bley - Solemn Meditation (GNP Crescendo, 1958) First ever listen to this. A lot more fun than the title suggests. Sort of a Dave Pike record, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Sam Newsome - The Straighthorn of Africa: A Path to Liberation - The Art of the Soprano, Vol. 2 (2014) My third listen to this one (not third today); I like it a lot. Avant whilst fresh and listenable and 'world' fusion without being cheesy. Having just finished: Chet Baker - Chet Baker & Crew (Pacific, 1956) The funnest Chet record, thanks to a large extent to the presence of Bobby Timmons and Phil Urso Edited April 28, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Modal Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Mal Waldron with Fred Braceful, Eberhard Weber and Jimmy Jackson, The Call from '71. Not sure why I never listened to this before as it's phenomenal. Two songs, each stretching over the side of an LP and these guys really dig in. Late to the party on this one, but glad I made it.

Not sure why I never listened to this before as it's phenomenal. Two songs, each stretching over the side of an LP and these guys really dig in. Late to the party on this one, but glad I made it. Great record. Close enough to European progressive rock from the time (particularly the German "krautrock") that I often recommend it to non-jazz friends. George Russell - Listen to the Silence (1973) My first ever listen to this rather odd one, a sort of jazz secular mass. Very much of the early 1970s, with references to Nixon, 'metanoia', Vietnam and everything else, including a Maoist / Nietzschean digression on the real message of the gospel being the rejection of "slave morality". Plus all the musicians were to achieve fame and remuneration mining the ECM vein. It is so of it's time that it makes Escalator over the Hill look like Oasis. Strangely enjoyable though.

jazzbo Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 A friend of mine called this Jobim's "most Ellingtonian" album and I think he's on to something. So I'm playing it today. Antonio Carlos Jobim "Tide" Universal Japan SHM-CD. This and "Stone Flower" are kissing cousins. I love the Jobim and Deondata collaborations.
