Now: Lester Young - "Prez" Vol. II (Pablo) Earlier: Elvin Jones - Genesis (Blue Note) Today's entry on my 70s blog is about Elvin's Genesis. Such a fantastic record! Another reason to like Dynavector cartridges is because they sound stinkin' fantastic. Even to a guy like me, whose hearing ain't what it used to be. A couple years ago, I put a 10X5 on my old Rega Planar 3 'table. Immediate GIGANTIC sonic improvement. Can't imagine ever trying another brand.

Sublime music.

Brubeck led an interesting life. I hope it's a good book. I'm not familiar with the author.

Yes. Looking back on it fifty years later, it's clear that something happened to Solal around 1970, when he released this LP. He'd been an fantastic pianist for a long time, but "suddenly" he's an amazing artist. A master, even. Or at least that's the impression I get from listening to the records. Of course, records don't tell the whole story. But they do tell a story.

Cal Tjader - Descarga (Fantasy, 1995) An outstanding CD that compiles two Tjader LPs: - Agua Dulce (Fantasy, 1971) - Live at the Funky Quarters (Fantasy, 1972)

Gheorghe, Well, if you investigate Collier's music, I hope you enjoy it! I suppose pianist John Taylor was the most well-known musician on the session. He played with Kenny Wheeler and Norma Winstone in the trio ensemble Azimuth. They recorded several albums for ECM in the 70s and 80s. Taylor and Winstone were married, and they recorded as a duo as well. Can't help but recommend their album ...Like Song, Like Weather from 1999. It's amazing. Thanks Jim! EDIT: After some poking around on discogs, I discovered that Mighty Mongo was reissued on this CD: Found it on YT, and I'm listening now.

Need to listen to more Chombo. Re: Charlie Palmieri -- Absolutely. I especially dig CP when he starts playing organ... like he does on his brother's Vamonos Pal Monte. VERY unique.

NP: Eddie Palmieri - Sentido (Coco, 1973) Absolutely brilliant.

Rudolf Serkin Plays Beethoven (Sony) Disc 2 - Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 4 - with Ormandy & the Philadelphia O

I agree. He's a very interesting musician. NP: Really enjoying this. and Phil Markowitz / Zach Brock - Perpetuity (Dot Time, 2015)

Graham Collier Music - Songs for My Father (Fontana, 1970) This album is the subject of today's entry on my 70's jazz blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.
