That's a top-shelf two-fer. What prompted that bump for Weston in the 70s? Was it Blue Moses on CTI?

NP: Fun fact: This Muse release from 1991 is the third of three Shirley Scott albums titled Great Scott! [The other two were on Prestige (1959) & Impulse (1964).]

More Brazilian stuff: Azymuth - Rapid Transit (Milestone, 1983)

Milton Nascimento - Miltons (CBS, 1988) Three terrific albums.

I completely agree regarding Daniel Humair. He was an amazing drummer. BTW: Speaking of the European Rhythm Machine, you guys are aware of this recording on Dire (Italy, 1972), right? If not, it's well worth investigating.

Now this: as heard on this set:

NP: Sonny Rollins - This Is What I Do (Milestone, 2000) A young man I know -- a close friend of my of my two adult sons since childhood -- is sort of like a third son to me. He had a tough time growing up and spent a lot of time around our house. In the last year or so, this young man has begun exploring jazz -- so he pings me regularly via text message asking about records and artists. (He now lives in another state.) Earlier today, he was asking me about my favorite sax players. Not that I need any excuse to listen to Sonny. But that's how I got to him today. Sharing the jazz love.

Agreed!

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that.

More by the L.A. 4: I really like this album.

Recently picked up this CD at a library book sale:

Yeah! Great stuff.

Yes.

A must for Beirach-ophiles (like yours truly). My introduction to the Soprano Summit many years ago.

Herbie Mann & Ramsey Lewis would definitely be at the top of my list. I'd also throw Gato Barbieri in there (especially the A&M stuff and after). Quite a few albums by Hank Crawford and Bobby Hackett too. Of course, I like these musicians or I wouldn't bring the LPs home in the first place. But I definitely have more because it's so common to stumble across inexpensive copies.
