Johnny Lytle - The Soulful Rebel and People & Love (Real Gone Music; originally Milestone) This CD is today's (technically, yesterday's) entry on my 70s jazz blog.

Great review, CJ! VERY in-depth.

Some really nice stuff on that list. I only have a DL of Up Popped the Devil, so I'll definitely be ordering that one. Yes, the Hawes is outstanding. Be advised though: The audio fidelity is less than ideal... but the music is superb. I do wish they would have reissued Vol. 2 instead. Enja has already reissued Vol. 1, but I don't think Vol. 2 has ever had a CD reissue.

Two of Farrell's best records!

Terrific idea! And a most excellent thread name as well. This morning, I've been (stopping and) listening to "Baby Face" Willette:

Mongo at Montreux is the subject of today's entry on my 70s jazz blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.

Ha! That makes two of us!

Ja, sicher!

Disc 7 - J.S. Bach

Yeah man!!!

I know that Misha Mengelberg is a big Herbie Nichols advocate. One side of Nichols, one side of Monk. All Nichols compositions.

I'm with you. I think Pop Wine is easily Curson's best date as a leader -- at least among those I've heard. Too bad it isn't more well-known. Those Futura releases can be tough to find, at least here in the U.S. If you like Mary Lou, you really owe it to yourself to hear Nite Life. (It's available on YT here.) Honestly, I feel just as strongly about Zoning and Free Spirits as well.

I really like that one. NP:
