It's still too soon, IMO. I'd say four weeks at an absolute minimum -- especially since it's got to hop the pond. More likely, you'll need to let six or eight weeks pass. After that, I'd begin working on a refund. My 2 cents.

NP: Recorded in 1977

and

Good one.

Among those three (or any others you may know), do you have a preferred version?

Shirley Scott with Stanley Turrentine - Soul Shoutin' (Prestige) Tracks 1-6 originally released as The Soul Is Willing (Prestige 7267); tracks 7-11 originally released as Soul Shoutin' (Prestige 7312).

Yes!

Next up: Coleman Hawkins - On Broadway (Prestige, rec. 1962) with Tommy Flanagan (p), Major Holley (b), and Eddie Locke (d) This CD compiles music originally released on two Moodsville LPs: Good Old Broadway and Coleman Hawkins Plays Make Someone Happy from Do Re Mi. The disc also includes two (of nine) cuts from The Jazz Version of No Strings. I love this stuff. In this mellow Moodsville context, Hawkins' extraordinary SOUND -- authoritative and gruffly refined -- commands center stage. Flanagan's lithe, graceful lines contrast perfectly.

NP: Keith Jarrett - Death and the Flower / Backhand (Impulse, rec. 1974) The Impulse 2-on-1 series was wonderful.

I think Jabali is on so many records because he can play in ANY style. 🙂 Yes!!!

Love it!

My wife & I are in Spain, so queuing up this one feels appropos:

Nico was one helluva bassist. Oh yeah.

I especially love Healing Force and Evidence of Things Unseen from that set. Two terrific solo piano outings.

Speaking of . . . Hugh Ragin - Feel the Sunshine (Justin Time, 2002) with Assif Tsahar (ts, b cl), Craig Taborn (p), Jaribu Shahib (b), Tanni Tabbal (d), and Bruce Cox (d)

I don't have that record -- but I totally agree re: Hugh Ragin. I first became aware of him in David Murray's Octet and Big Band. Ragin's solos ALWAYS stick out (in a good way), they're so ear-catching and musical. Not sure whether there's anything to this -- but Ragin has always struck me as a musical descendant of Joe Newman. They have a similar sort of warmth in their sound.
