Nice!

Now on my turntable: Gary Bartz - Ju Ju Man (Catalyst Records, 1976) Gary Bartz (as, ss, cl, synth, vo); Charles Mims (p); Curtis Robertson (b, el-b); Howard King (d); Syreeta (vo, 1 trk only) Hipped to this record earlier this year by @JSngry

After hearing Mundell Lowe on a Richie Kamuca LP, I decided to give this CD a spin: Mundell Lowe - Souvenirs: A Tribute to Nick Ceroli (The Jazz Alliance) Eight of the twelve cuts were recorded in 1977 (and originally released on the Dobre label); the remaining four were made in 1992

Now spinning: The Richie Kamuca Quartet - Richie (Concord, 1977) with Mundell Lowe (g), Monty Budwig (b) & Nick Ceroli (d); originally released on Jazzz Records in 1976 Kamuca's version of "Some Other Spring"... Phew! A delicious punch to the gut.

Doc & Merle Watson - Two Days in November (Poppy, 1974)

Next up: Terrific.

Now spinning: Oliver Nelson - Images - featuring Eric Dolphy (Prestige, 2 LPs) LP 1 - originally released as Screamin' the Blues

Me too.

and / or Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America Dollar Brand - African Space Program Betty Carter - The Betty Carter Album Don Cherry - Relativity Suite Hal Galper - Inner Journey Herbie Hancock - Sextant Keith Jarrett - Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne Frank Lowe - Black Beings Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire Paul Motian - Conception Vessel Oregon - Distant Hills Joe Pass - Virtuoso Sam Rivers - Streams Roswell Rudd - Numatik Swing Band Cecil Taylor - Solo Cecil Taylor - Spring of Two Blue J's Ralph Towner - Diary McCoy Tyner - Enlightenment Mal Waldron - Up Popped the Devil Eberhard Weber - The Colours of Chloë

Oh yeah! Good call! If my top pick isn't Abandoned Luncheonette, then THAT.

I think my favorite non-jazz album from 1973 is Hall & Oates' Abandoned Luncheonette.

A couple small-group swing compilations: V.A. - All Star Sessions: Capitol Jazz Classics Vol. 6 (Capitol) V.A. - The 1930s: The Small Combos (Columbia)

I agree 100% that Selling England by the Pound is wonderful. It's Genesis' best album... with Peter Gabriel as front-man. But I think the post-Gabriel departure, pre-Hackett departure albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering are even better. Admittedly, a minority opinion.

IMO, there was all sorts of interesting jazz being made in '73, not just fusion. Consider: Rahsaan Roland Kirk – Prepare Thyself to Deal with a Miracle (Atlantic, 1973) Joe Henderson – Multiple (Milestone, 1973) Eddie Henderson – Realization (Capricorn, 1973) Cecil Payne & Duke Jordan – Brooklyn Brothers (Muse, 1973) João Donato & Eumir Deodato – Donato / Deodato (Muse, 1973) Ian Carr with Nucleus Plus – Labyrinth (Vertigo UK, 1973) Woody Herman – Giant Steps (Fantasy, 1973) Airto Moreira – Fingers (CTI, 1973) Gil Evans – Svengali (Atlantic, 1973) Marion Brown – Geechee Recollections (Impulse, 1973) Abbey Lincoln – People in Me (Philips Japan/Inner City, 1973) Terumasa Hino – Taro's Mood (Enja, 1973) George Benson – Body Talk (CTI, 1973) Norman Connors – Love from the Sun (Buddah, 1973) John Surman – Morning Glory (Antilles UK, 1973) Flora Purim – Butterfly Dreams (Milestone, 1973) Ray Barretto – The Other Road (Fania, 1973) Billy Harper – Capra Black (Strata-East, 1973) Tito Puente – Tito Puente and His Concert Orchestra (Tico, 1973) Jack Wilkins – Windows (Mainstream, 1973) Larry Willis – Inner Crisis (Groove Merchant, 1973) Larry Young – Lawrence of Newark (Perception, 1973) And that's just scratching the surface.

Shorty Rogers & His Giants - The Swinging Mr. Rogers (Atlantic Jazzlore, rec. 1955) Jimmy Giuffre!

Stateside is a US distributor for SteepleChase -- and other European labels like Red -- based in Myrtle Beach, SC. So I would guess that Dusty Groove probably got their wires crossed when they made the entry. The order was likely from Stateside, but it's a SteepleChase disc.

Your post has prompted me to queue up J.J. Inc.

Makes sense to me. On Time Spiral, Russell's famous "Ezz-Thetic" sounds transformed.

Yep. Cultural recycling and/or re-appropriation is a thing. Especially in our post- post-modern world.

Thank you, Jim, for all you do to keep this forum up-and-running. We all appreciate it!
