  1. Another one of Duke's wonderful Treasury Shows:
  2. Now listening to the companion CD to the Kosei Nenkin disc above:
  3. Coincidentally, I just finished listening to a CTI release also. This one: Now this:
  4. John Carter / Bobby Bradford - Self Determination Music (Flying Dutchman, 1970) Some of the most vital, life-affirming music that I've ever heard. . .
  5. Tremendous. ...I'm going to follow your lead and listen to that right now. On the way into work: Dizzy Gillespie & His Orchestra - A Portrait of Duke Ellington (Verve, 1960) Fischer's arrangements of Ellington's music are very un-Ellingtonian -- very dense, very buttoned-down. So I found myself having to think of this music as something different -- something "not-Ellington" -- to not get hung up on it. When I did, I started to enjoy the music more. Dizzy, of course, sounds great throughout.
  6. Moody in super-chilled mode.
  7. Excellent. Harold Vick - Don't Look Back (Strata-East) I took the leap and plopped for the Pure Pleasure reissue of this LP. It arrived in the mail today (from Dusty Groove), and I'm giving it a first spin right now.
  8. CD compiles two Prestige sessions from '67: Super Soul (with a big band arranged by Richard Evans) and Soul Power.
  9. Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' (Blue Note)
  10. Rusty Bryant - Legends of Acid Jazz, Vol. 2 (Prestige) Compiles two Bryant LPs from 1971: Fire-Eater and Wildfire.
  11. More "Fathead" Newman:
  12. Quite a few of those Black & Blue CD releases are fetching high dollars in the re-sellers' market these days. . .
  13. Toots with a stellar rhythm section: Joanne Brackeen, Cecil McBee & Freddie Waits.
  14. Yeah, when it comes to the CBS recs, I prefer Manhattan Symphonie too. And I like Sophisticated Giant better also. But my favorite "post-homecoming" Dexter recordings are from the Keystone Korner: I feel like Dexter's MUCH more simpatico with this band. I love this stuff.
