  1. I hear ya - or rather right now I'm hearing Brother James Moody preaching ...
  2. Schifrin plays a long, wild solo on the first track on Samba para dos - from his large scale symphonic and orchestral works you'd never think he was in for such abundance.
  3. So much for some organissimo forum members's rites of passage and the art of derailing a well meant thread. Not every new member is inclined to understand that special humor some cultivate here ...
  4. ... and a hilarious album. Better than one might think, the Sisters were right down on it, great sidemen including Herbie Hancock, and Gaylord Birch laying down the funkiest grooves on the planet. Now playing some Hip Hop which I bought for a buck because Rodney Kendrick is the mastermind here.
  5. JazzMessengers has the BeeHive box set back in stock! No idea how many copies, though ... https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/70151/various-artists/the-complete-bee-hive-sessions
  6. MONSIEUR JEAN PAUL 2017 Pays de l'Hérault, a cuvée from Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault grapes by Les Vins de Saint Saturnin
  7. The Lord disco says part of the tracks is with an unidentified studio orchestra, the remainder with a Shelly Manne Quartet.
  8. I remember the dog part from the recent Coltrane documentary.
  9. Some more pics from the site above - their portrait of Bop City still seems to be in the making: Musicians Frank Butler, Armando Peraza and George Walker inside Bop City, early 1950s. Frank Jackson Collection Jimbo Edwards and Arthur Prysock at Bop City, early 1950s. Frank Jackson Collection A late night jam session at Bop City, mid 1950s. photo by Steve Jackson Jr. - Look at the names on the bass fiddle! Could this be Pony Poindexter and Teddy Edwards?

  10. Congrats! Let's hear how it is after you have listened .... Now spinning a bunch of LPs - looks like I'll be in a vinyl mood for some days: Preparing for a workshop teaching Cuban conga de comparsa rhythms to a Frankfurt pecussion band. What a great encounter ..... This is great! Perfect demonstration of how black music developped in the Carribean to forms superficially similar to jazz. But they had the Carribean grooves the US producers didn't want when recording New Orleans bands. Or whatever ...
  11. Howard McGhee's playing is just gorgeous on this one! Stitt has to play his best after him ...
  12. This one is available on CD, in Elemental Music's Xanadu Master Series: But have a listen to it, first, if you can - it's the most "modern" of Jones' albums.
  13. L to R: John Handy, Pony Poindexter, John Coltrane, Frank Fischer, at Bop City. https://www.harlemofthewestsf.com/gallery/#jp-carousel-396 Pony Poindexter and Leo Wight at Bop City
  14. first LP with sides first issued on Prestige 78s
  15. It cost me 30 bucks, but I finally found a copy of the French CD reissue of Never Again with the bonus tracks.
  16. Zutty Singleton is so great on this one! Some of the stuff he plays sounds like the royal Tutsi drums from Rwanda that ethnomusicologists recorded.
  17. That was my first McDuff album - I don't understand why this never was reissued on CD ... now playing another very groovy album: ... and continuing with another neglected Scott album: Ron Carter and Jimmy Cobb!
