David Friedman - Futures Passed (Enja, 1976) Outstanding. Very ECM-ish. (Even the cover image.) ... When people talk about vibraphonists (which, admittedly, isn't very often; but I love the instrument), Friedman's name doesn't come up much. That said, I've enjoyed everything I've heard from him. Exciting soloist. Interesting composer. What's not to like?!?! ... Also, Harvie Swartz's bass playing here gets a gold star.

Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron at jazz club Le Duc des Lombards. Paris, January 2002

Mal Waldron & Steve Lacy - Live at Dreher, Paris, 1981 (hat Hut) Disc 1/4

and

Jacquet with a Rolls-Royce rhythm section.

Yep, I agree. It's an uneven album. But those first three cuts: "Don't Stop the Carnival" and "Silver City" and "Autumn Nocturne." Yowza!

Jessica Jennifer Williams - Orgonomic Music (Clean Cuts, 1981)

Sonny Rollins - Don't Stop the Carnival (Milestone) LP 1

Oh yeah. IMO, it's a tremendous recording, and its "legendary" status is well-deserved.

Disc 2

TREMENDOUS.

Gust William Tsilis & Alithea with Arthur Blythe - Pale Fire (Enja, 1987) Really enjoying this new-to-me discovery.

That's a GREAT record!
