Milt Jackson, The Prophet Speaks (Qwest)

James Williams, Everything I Love (Concord) Stan Getz, Reflections (Verve) Atomic Basie (Roulette/Japanese pressing) This copy was unusually heavy vinyl for Riverside and had very fine sound. Music was modestly good. Pretty restrained and he's no Kenny Burrell, but still a fine album.

Weather Report, Mysterious Traveler (Columbia) The Mundell Lowe Album (Riverside)

King Sunny Ade, Live at the Hollywood Palace

Charlie Byrd, Solo Flight (Riverside) Rex Stewart, Dixieland Free For All (Jazztone). With Herb Nichols on piano.

I'm certain I saw John Blake with McCoy Tyler later than 1983; definitely in 1984 and possibly 1985. I also saw John Blake as a leader, about the time of Twinkling of an Eye. Fantastic group.

On first listen, I like it. 43 minutes of music, not the usual exhaust the listener with 70 plus minutes. I've heard all of these musicians in person and like them all.

Johnathan Blake, Homeward Bound (Blue Note)

Egberto Gismonti, Solo (ECM)

I never really warmed up to Pablo era Joe Pass, but on Pacific Jazz, that is another story.

It seems like they used to have jazz there regularly. Maybe they are starting again? I recollect seeing Roy Hargrove, Joe Pass, Ramsey Lewis, Stanley Jordan, and Kenny Burrell (as part of a guitar show) there, but that was long ago.

Pat Metheny Group, Offramp (ECM) Sonny Stitt, Stardust (Roulette)

The Meyerson would be a great place to hear a big band.

Weather Report, Night Passage (Columbia) George Cordoba, Shades of Django (Exodus) Teo Macero, Time Plus Seven (Finnador)

Austin does seem to have a new jazz club. Early in January, it has Joey DeFrancesco and Jeff Hamilton on the schedule. https://www.parkerjazzclub.com
