The very tasty weekend bottle: VECCHIA TORRE Syrah Primitivo 2020 Salento Indicazione Geografica Protetta

Really great indeed! That is the attitude I love about so many jazz people.

I made my own CDR with all three Teddy Charles Mingus collaborations. Some of the best of its time.

Continuing my listening through this set, two discs each day:

I find all of his leader dates interesting, but they are all very different. There is a comprehensive discography at https://attictoys.com/teddy-charles-discography/ ...... he was very versatile, as you can see there. The trio with Hal Overton on Three For Duke is great and the recent Japanese reissue sounds excellent. About half of the tracks. Gil Evans, Jimmy Giuffre, George Russell etc. did the others.

That's why I return to it several times each year. I am preparing an evening with Jelly Roll for a befriended couple, and this will be part of it.

Judging from the chronology of Jamal's sidemen I think it is rather unlikely. Forunier returned for a short time span after Chuck Lampkin, but by 1971 the Nasser/Gant team was a regular.

I still have a cassette of that one! But the following was the groove that spoiled me for lesser efforts:

Ugh! I just posted that this probably was the first jazz LP I bought on my own - so his groovy music was part of my jazz socialization. R.I.P., and thanks for that groove.

You did succeed! Count me in when it is released.

This afternoon:

Great french horn solo by Julius Waltkins!

The bandcamp link shows it is Nasser and Frank Gant ...

Nice read, Steve. The above were my first LPs bought from pocket money when found in the cutout bins. My introduction to jazz was a bunch of 45s my brother's fiancée had brought home from her job in a record shop, among them a Metrome EP with the first four MJQ tracks from Prestige, which I did not really understand but were fascinating, so I listened to them again and again. After two or three pop LPs I started buying jazz. that must have been sometime around 1967/68. Now that I remember .... this Ramsey Lewis Greatest Hits compilation my have been the first buy:

During the weekend:

Also not sure, but some of these were among them:

Same here.
