I love that LP. Mary Lou Williams' contributions really elevate the date, IMO.

Milwaukee Bucks - 2 NBA Championships Atlanta Hawks - Zero NBA Championships

Congrats, jlhoots! It was a great Championship series.

Duke Ellington - The Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973) Disc 12 Rex Stewart !!!

A superb LP. Producer Ozzie Cadena puts Jug in various musical contexts and styles, and they all work. Jazz, blues, soul, or pop. It does not matter. Whatever the label, Ammons LIFTS it up -- and us up! Like Duke would say, what Jug is doing is "beyond category." ... And a little side note: How about that filthy electric piano from Hank Jones!?!? Yes sir! Very, very nice.

More Woody Shaw:

Some STRONG Woody here. Plus, I love this particular band with Larry Willis & Carter Jefferson.

I read a bit about Collier when I was in Chicago. He was playing at the Jazz Showcase in support of a new album, but I didn't get a chance to see/hear him. I did listen to some of the new record (on Bandcamp). Pretty good. ...As you suggest, mjazzg, I hear lots of not-quite-fully-digested late Coltrane and Pharoah in his sound. But he's young. ...Like lots of other young players, he definitely vibing on the early-70s "spiritual jazz" thing that's come back around. Somebody to keep an eye on.

Yes, I have that. Got it based on your recommendation, IIRC. Not sure which sounds better -- the vinyl release or that CD. Both are lovely.

Hooray for BILLY HART !!!! JABALI !!!!

Disc 2 Yes, Matta is an excellent bassist.

This again: Yes sir!

One of several CDs that I picked up at Dusty Groove during a recent visit to Chicago.

Now spinning: Up next: 2016 Elemental reissue

Love that. We all come to jazz from different places, but any pathway that leads to new discoveries is a good one!

Yes!!! The first of Palmieri's AMAZING run of records in the early 70s ... from Superimposition to Unfinished Masterpiece. All extraordinary. One of Jordan's best.
