giving this another try. Liking it a bit more this time, the vocals seem more integrated than on previous listens

David Newman - The Weapon (Atlantic, 1973)
Man, this sounds good.

Joel Dorn thought, in retrospect, that it was well overproduced. A mistake.

But Newman still plays nicely and some of the cuts (like 'Missy'' and 'drown in my tears') are killers.

I can see that why Dorn might've thought that. Some of the background, party-time crowd noise on one of the cuts is unnecessary. Maybe less "window dressing" would have made for a more impactful record.  But overall I think the album WORKS -- especially if I think of it as a straight-up soul record, a sort of Ray Charles-less Ray Charles record. ;) 

Fathead's four-year run from Captain Buckles (1971) to Lonely Avenue (1972) to The Weapon (1973) and Newmanism (1974) is quite a purple patch, imho.

'Soulful rebel' is quite a disappointment after 'People & love' - not that it's bad, but...

I've never been disappointed by anything Johnny Lytle did! :)

George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet - Live at the Village Vanguard, Vol. 2 (Soul Note)

Miles Davis - "Circle in the Round" from the Quintet 1965-1968 box set. I have wanted to like this piece for years. The editing, done by Teo Macero in 1968, is driving me crazy right now- the splices are all too apparent, and the damn thing is far too long. Miles recorded this in pieces, and I think a killer 15-20 minute version could be put together. I wish somebody would take another shot at it.
