and with Bobby Hutcherson, Harold Ousley. and Ray McKinney

Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark (Perception, rec. 1973) Wow. I'm reminded again that this is a stinkin' BRILLIANT record, so clattery and cosmic and weird and fascinating. Even the (relatively) lo-fi audio recording seems to work in its favor, adding a veiled, mysterious quality. I've never heard anything else quite like it.

Earlier: The George Coleman Octet - Big George (Affinity) with Harold Mabern and Frank Strozier, among others

Richard "Groove" Holmes - Groove's Groove (32 Jazz) Enjoyable compilation of Muse cuts.

Dr. Lonnie Smith - Spiral (Palmetto, 2010) and Don Patterson - Why Not ... (Muse, 1978)

MJT + 3 - Branching Out (originally Vee Jay; licensed by Trip Jazz) Always pleasant to hear Mabern & Strozier together.

David Friedman & David Samuels - Double Image (Enja)

NP:

Very nice!

Back to "Fathead": Excellent set! I bet that was good! I would love to see Harrell live. Never have.

A magnificent performance, for sure! Hutcherson's two quartet records with Hancock -- Happenings and Oblique -- are two of his very best, IMO.

Last night: Booker Ervin - That's It (Candid/Barnaby) I have the Dutch pressing of this Barnaby reissue -- with the orange CBS label. I bought it at Mole Jazz on a memorable trip to London many years ago.

This again. Fantastic.

I'm cheating because I already posted another YT clip earlier this week. Oh well. ... Enjoy!

I've been digging around on discogs, and I just realized that I was wrong about The Tender Gender. All ten cuts from the LP are on the CD Soulero. Furthermore, aside from reversing the first two tracks (why?!), the tracks are sequenced exactly like the LP. The CD also includes six "bonus cuts": One is from KB's Christmas record ("My Favorite Things") and five from Ode to 52nd Street (the entire B side). I had mistakenly assumed that this CD was a hodge-podge-type compilation of all KB's Cadet records -- like the 2-LP set Recapitulation. But it isn't! The complete Tender Gender is "hidden" on this disc.

Now:

Two Jazzland LPs on this CD: The Soulful Piano of Junior Mance and Big Chief!

NP via YT: Frederic Rabold Crew - Funky Tango (MPS, 1979) Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Frederic Rabold Saxophones – Erich Stangl, Walter Hüber, Wilfried Eichhorn Piano – Jürgen Dollmann Bass – Thomas Stabenow Drums – Manfred Kniel Voice – Lauren Newton All new to me. Ain't that the truth!

For me, it's been a James Moody morning. and

Thanks. 👍

Yeah. Unfortunately, that's par for the course with books from Scarecrow Press. I got it thru my local library. It wasn't in their system, but they got the book for me via interlibrary loan.
