Heading up to NYC today for a long weekend with my wife. I'm hoping to catch Mike Moreno tonight at Smalls -- and Michael Blake on Sunday at Rizzoli's Bookstore. ... And a bunch of other shows as well TBD. 😁

with John Taylor, Furio Di Castri, and Joe LaBarbera

Yep. Hank with George Duvivier is pretty much a "can't miss" situation. It's also fun to hear how different this trio sounds with Shelly Manne in the drummer's chair compared to Jones' two Black & Blue albums -- Bluesette and Compassion -- with Duvivier and Alan Dawson.

Hank Jones with George Duvivier & Shelly Manne - Live in Japan (Trio, rec. 1979)

and The (Jazz) Crusaders are Wilson's backing band on this album.

Nice haul!

This again:

NP: Kenny Burrell - Handcrafted (Muse, 1978) with Reggie Johnson & Sherman Ferguson I love this album.

I'm listening to Munch's 1953 recording of Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette, as heard in this set:

Fantastic.

Sweets and Lockjaw? Oh yeah.

Hozan Yamamoto & Masabumi Kikuchi – Ginkai/Silver World (Philips Japan, 1971)

No sweat, soulpope. It's all good.

JD Allen - Radio Flyer (Savant, 2017) with Liberty Ellman, Gregg August, and Rudy Royston

O.K. I was just going by what discogs said -- but you can't always believe what the internet says.

Brilliant!!! One of LK's finest!

I haven't heard that one. Will have to check it out. Now giving this LP its first spin: Gunter Hampel & His Galaxie Dream Band - That Came Down On Me: Live at The Berlin Jazzfestival 1978 (Birth) Terrific!

Two excellent jazz vocal albums from the 1970s: Joe Lee Wilson - Secrets from the Sun (Inner City, 1978) Recorded in Paris with Steve Lacy's quartet. (Lacy is credited as "Steve Sax.") and Etta Jones - If You Could See Me Now (Muse, 1979)

Mike Gibbs - Directs The Only Chrome-Waterfall Orchestra (Bronze UK, 1975) An impressive band (featured soloists in bold): - Keyboards, Composer, Arranger – Michael Gibbs - Alto Saxophone – Ray Warleigh - Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute – Stan Sulzmann - Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute, Nadaswaram – Charlie Mariano - Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Alto Clarinet – Tony Coe - Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute – Alan Skidmore - Flute, Alto Flute – Chris Taylor, Duncan Lamont - Trumpet – Derek Watkins - Flugelhorn – Henry Lowther, John Huckridge - Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Butch Hudson, Ian Hawer, Kenny Wheeler - Trombone – Chris Pyne, Dave Horler - Bass Trombone – Bill Geldard - Electric Guitar, Twelve-String Guitar, Acoustic Guitar – Philip Catherine - Electric Bass, Electric Piano – Steve Swallow - Drums, Percussion – Bob Moses - Percussion – Jumma Santos - Leader [Strings] – Pat Halling - Electric Cello – Colin Walker It's a compilation. See tracks & personnel in the left column below: from https://www.discogs.com/master/308203-Sonny-Rollins-Sonny-Rollins IIRC, this was the first Sonny Rollins album I ever heard.

Continuing my recent Bill Evans kick with: Good stuff!

I've enjoyed it, Gheorghe. However, this particular album is more Latin Jazz and flamenco-influenced jazz, rather than Return to Forever-like fusion. Two of the key musicians in the band are Spaniards: (acoustic) guitarist Niño Josele and Jorge Pardo, who plays sax and flute (and was a member of Paco de Lucia's band for many years) -- so there's a definite "Iberian" vibe.
