Re SUPERSAX

About the same time in the 70´s some of the Supersax were bought by Bird fans and first we said "wow" , but while you can go back to Bird at any time and find inspiration, you won´t spin Supersax to much after that first "wow". And last but not least the rhythm section is too mainstream like, It almost sounds like it could be a machine, no live rhythm section. Most kids over here had the two MPS albums I think with Blue Mitchell and Frank Rosolino added. "SaltPeanuts" and "Koko" were more expensive and not found everywhere. 

Correct what you say about the first Impression.  But I still like the group and have most of their material.

Also have enough of the original Bird & Diz

The ones with Warne Marsh solos are essential IMO.

'Lovesick' is my favorite mid-60's jazz LP of Jackie & Roy.  It was their last album for Verve.  Afterwards, their manager convinced them to chase radio hits with the wretched rock-oriented 'Grass', a one-shot on Capitol.  A four-year recording hiatus followed.

Bill,

I agree with you re: Lovesick.  I think it's one of their finest.

Gotta say though: I sorta like Grass.  I think J&R were just trying to move into more contemporary territory -- and it works for me.  OTOH, I think Changes, the album that preceded Lovesick is MUCH less musically interesting than Grass.  I would point to Changes as their least successful "crossover" attempt.

Yes, I have that too on a Japanese pressing. ‘Yesterday’s Thoughts’ or something like that?  I prefer the other two though - need to dig them all out. The ‘green lady’s straw hat’ one is particularly nice , really captures the Walton trio well.

Yep .... and "The Summer Knows" about the green lady's straw hat 😇 ....

maybe some day I will save it on usb stick for the car, for a longer drive you can listen to such stuff. For really listening I prefer more demanding stuff.....

Most things are "demanding" when they are new. Times and tastes change with growing age. Thats quite normal.

Sometimes I like more to look back than go ahead. Jazz is an ever changing artform.

Flora Purim "If You Will"

Quite nice. Background vocals on several songs are arranged in a way that brought Monday Michiru immediately to mind.

It makes sense to put those two records on on CD, since together they pleasurable enough, more than the individual record played separately.
