According to some who ought to know, Abbey Lincoln wouldn't quite agree with your impressions, it seems. 😕 It's been discussed here, too - some 20 years ago.

Roscoe Mitchell - More Cutouts My two year old genuinely went: "Daddy?! Daddy?!", pointed to the sound system and shouted "NOISE!"

Vladislav Delay – Multila

It is predicted to be in the mid-forties today. Will feel like a. heat wave! I'll be hard-pressed to keep my wife indoors. Starting off the quiet this neighborhood has on Saturday and Sunday mornings with Melissa Aldana "Filin" Blue Note cd, just released yesterday. I really like her work and she has been touring overseas for months and is on the top of her game. This is very mellow, building slowly, and I remember from my old band days how difficult it was for me to manufacture and maintain such beauty, and I really admire that skill. The album is dedicated to ballads, inspired and mostly following the Cuban style known as "filin." The recording is excellently engineered.

Nice Honey! Pity her family group (The Gordons) didn't record more - only a few scattered tunes with Mingus, Diz, Mary Lou (!) ... they were soo hip!

Spontaneous Music Ensemble – Karyōbin

Good one!

It would be great to see him, but I don't think so.

February 14 Maceo Parker - 1943

👍

Isn't side 2 actually the Prelude by Volla-Lobos also recorded by Kenny Dorham?

Off to see Rohmer's La Collectionneuse on Sunday and then in about a week De Palma's Blow Out.

I'd forgotten I own that last one.

For me and my system the tonal balance is better. It may well be a subjective thing.

Attila Zoller - Dream Bells (Enja/Inner City, 1977)

I can't think of Jekyll & Hyde without thinking of this tune. It's burned into my brain at this point:
