kh1958

Continuing the Cal Tjader trend with Along Came Cal (Verve). Definitely prefer Side 2. And Odell Brown Plays Otis Redding (Cadet). Sunk by the horn arrangements.

It is new music to me; I rather like it; an excellent collection from Strut Records.

Ote Maloya, The Birth of Electric Maloya on Reunion Island 1975-1986 (Strut)

Cal Tjader Quartet, Saturday Night/Sunday Night at the Blackhawk (Verve) Brother Jack McDuff, Getting Our Thing Together (Cadet)

Last night, David Gerald in Denison.

Pop Makossa, The Invasive Dance Beat of Cameroon 1976-1984 (Analog Africa)

James P. Johnson Mosaic set, disc 1.

Terry Gibbs, That Swing Thing!, Live at Shelley's Mannehole (Verve)

Welcom to Zamrock, volume 2 (Now Again)

Johnny Griffin, The Big-Soul Band (Riverside)

Jason Adasiewicz's Sun Rooms, From the Region (Delmark)

Pharoah Sanders, Karma (Impulse), and Art Farmer and Benny Golson, Big City Sounds (Argo).

Kenny Garrett, Standard of Language (Warner)

Sam Rivers, Crystals (Impulse)

Gene Ammons with Amina Meyers and George Freeman, that sounds like my kind of group. What is the origin of this material?

That was quite an episode. The day when TV series are much better and more creative than films was not one I anticipated.

Dave Burrell and Bob Stewart, The Crave (No Business) Johnny Dodds, New Orleans Clarinet (Riverside)

Friday night, Lucky Peterson at the Granada Theater. Sunday evening, Larry Lampkin at Poor David's Pub.

Unfortunately, I probably will not be able to go to Austin on that date.
