Sorry to hear this news, but grateful for the music. R.I.P.

Ted Curson's Pop Wine is the topic of Monday's entry on my 70s jazz blog. Unfortunately, I got caught up in the listening & writing and didn't realize how late it was. So I didn't publish it until 12:02am on Tuesday. Argh! Oh well. No Monday post. Two posts on Tuesday then.

Excellent.

All over the place style-wise today...

And there's another cover -- used on the Muse CD reissue.

Two Lucky Thompson LPs on one CD. Originally released as: - Plays Jerome Kern and No More (Moodsville, 1963) and - Happy Days Are Here Again (Prestige, 1965) I think you'll enjoy it, Brad.

Mongo Santamaria - At the Black Hawk (Fantasy)

Richard "Groove" Holmes' Comin' on Home is the subject of today's entry on my 70s jazz blog. Earlier this evening, I also added a bit of text to the previous two entries, which had been "bare bones."

Eddie Palmieri - Vortex (TropiJazz, 1996) with Donald Harrison, Brian Lynch, et al Ugly cover art. Wonderful music.

1961 recordings with Martial Solal, Peter Trunk, and Kenny Clarke

Yes. You got it exactly. The music is from the same '67 Montmartre gig as your LP -- but not released until the 80s, prompted by the movie.

NP:

Houston Person - Houston Express (Prestige) Today's entry on my 70s jazz blog is about this Houston Person album. Yes! Yes!

Re: that ^ sentence: Yes, yes, and yes. 100%. As far as your comparison, I've never thought about Duke's sound in relation to Shepp, in particular. But I have wondered if Ellington hasn't gotten his due with regards to bringing an "African musical vision" into jazz -- way, way, way before the idea became fairly common in the 1970s. ... Which might be another way of saying the same thing that you're suggesting. In other words, if you have a different vision (and different values), you'll produce a different sort of music. And traditional European ways of thinking about Duke's music aren't adequate to the task -- and perhaps miss the point entirely. The fact that Duke was an autodidact also comes into play here. It's part of the mix as well, I think.

To each his own. 👍 Incidentally, I'm completely on board with you regarding Voyage, Serenity, and Anniversary. All three are superb records, IMO. I'd also add People Time and Blue Skies to the mix to round out my favorites from Getz's final years.

Pim, I think his self-titled MPS LP, which you already have, is his strongest overall. Others from around that time that I enjoy are Hannibal in Berlin (MPS) and Hannibal in Antibes (Enja). As far as sideman work, someone already mentioned Richard Davis' Epistrophy/Now's the Time (Muse). I second that motion. I would also suggest Eric Kloss' Essence (Muse).

More Lucky Thompson. Yeah!
