Cal Tjader - Descarga (Fantasy) This CD compiles two albums: Agua Dulce (1971) and Live at the Funky Quarters (1972)

Yes!!! Excellent. This is one that I've been enjoying lately: I suppose "jazz vocalists with strings" is almost another category unto itself.

Anthony Davis, James Newton, Abdul Wadud - Trio 2 (Gramavision) First listen. Just picked this up this disc recently. GORGEOUS so far. I wish Anthony Davis recorded as a leader more frequently. Other than his work with Wadada Leo Smith, he's made very few recordings over the last 30 years.

Two by the Mighty Burner: Charles Earland - Black Talk! (Prestige, rec. 1969) and Black Drops (Prestige, rec. 1970)

LOVE that version!

Herbie Hancock - Thrust (Columbia / Sony Legacy) Sarah Vaughan with Michel Legrand (Mainstream)

R.I.P. Randy Weston

Jaki Byard did an excellent version of "Hi -Fly." It also served as the album title:

Very sad to hear this news. He has been one of my favorite pianists for a long time. R.I.P. to the great Randy Weston!

Kenny Barron / Dave Holland - The Art of Conversation (Impulse)

The Art of Hank Crawford: The Atlantic Years (Atlantic, 2 LPs)

I just ordered these LPs from Euclid Records: Hank Crawford - Its a Funky Thing to Do (Cotillion) Chico Hamilton - Peregrinations (Blue Note) Ralph Sutton - Live! (Flyright) Clark Terry - Live! At Buddy's Place (Vanguard)

Thelonious Monk Quartet with Johnny Griffin - Thelonious in Action (Riverside/OJC) Pulled this out after enjoying JG's The Congregation so much last night. and Coleman Hawkins - The Bebop Years (Proper) Disc 2 - Cattin' at Keynote

JG sounds so good on this.

Joe Dioro - Peaceful Journey (Art of Life) Beautiful solo guitar. Originally released in 1977 on Spitball Records.

I need to get that ! ! ! Two of my favorite artists -- Lucky Thompson & Martial Solal!
