A couple favorites.

Gene Harris & the Three Sounds - Live at the It Club (Blue Note, rec. 1970)

I no idea there was such a thing as 78 rpm vinyl. I assumed that all 78s were made of shellac and that vinyl only began to be used when LPs were introduced. Huh. Learned something new today. 😁 👍 You aren't the only one! 😋

James Moody - Moody's Mood (Chess, 2 LPs) This album compiles James Moody's first three LPs for Argo: Flute 'N the Blues (1956), Moody's Mood for Love (1957), and Last Train from Overbrook (1958). Oh yeah. A wonderful compilation.

Dizzy Gillespie - Something Old, Something New (Philips) playlist derived from this set:

Wow. I can only imagine. . .

More Moody:

Dizzy Gillespie & the big band - The New Continent (Limelight)

Spinning this superb Tommy Flanagan LP again: All three of them sound fantastic, but George Mraz is really catching my ear tonight.

Listening to a couple Cal Tjader LPs: Amazonas (Fantasy, 1976) Last Night When We Were Young: Cal Tjader with Strings (Fantasy, 1975)

Machito Orchestra - Fireworks (Coco/Charly)

More 1970s jazz from California: Cal Tjader - The Grace Cathedral Concert (Fantasy, rec. 1976) with Lonnie Hewitt (el p); Rob Fisher (b); Pete Riso (d); and Poncho Sanchez (cga)

Charles Owens' Mother Lode - I Stand Alone (Vault / Essential Media Group, 1971) This record features Charles Owens (fs, ss, fl) with some fellow West Coast heavies: Oscar Brashear (tr); Thurman Green (tb); Woody Murray (vib); Dwight Dickerson (el p); Paul Smith (el b); William Jeffrey (d); Bobby Thompson (d, tamb); Ricardo Torres (cga).

Eddie Palmieri - Vamonos Pa'l Monte (Tico)

Thanks for sharing. Excellent article.

Keith Jarrett - Mysteries / Shades (ABC Impulse) with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden & Paul Motian Brilliant.

James Moody's Heritage Hum (Perception) Lots of Moody flute!

Now spinning this (again): Lucky Thompson - Illuminations (Groove Merchant)

Oh yeah. That's a really good record. Jeff, have you heard Interplay? It's a piano/bass duo record (with Linc Milliman), also released in 1970. It's similar to Ambiance, just as adventurous. NP: Freddie Hubbard - Sweet Return (Atlantic)

Sounds good. I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the heads-up. NP: Larry Coryell - The Restful Mind (Vanguard)

I can't help with the photos, since I don't have any of these EPs. In any case, thanks for the news that a new edition of the Tjader book is forthcoming. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Good one! NP: Joanne Brackeen Quartet - Turnaround (Evidence)
