kh1958

Essiebons Special, 1973-1984, Ghana Music Power House (Analog Africa)

Barney Kessel, Guitarra (RCA Camden)

I only saw Zawinul live once at the Caravan of Dreams in 1989. He had Gerald Veasley on bass and Robben Ford on guitar. I thought he was awesome, better than any electric keyboardist/synth player I have ever heard except Sun Ra.

Yes. if you like Fela-inspired Afro Beat style, with two sidelong tracks. Eric Kloss, Now (Muse) Basie Jam # 2 (Pablo)

K. Frimpong, Super Complex Sounds Pharoah Sanders, Live in Paris (1975)

Another good one:

Fabiano Do Nascimento, Tempo Dos Mestres

Coleman Hawkins, The Coleman Hawkins Album volume 2 (Trio). Reissue of Crown recordings with Thad Jones and Eddie Costa, in very fine sound.

Sun Ra, Omniverse (Modern Harmonic)

No way that is Johnny Griffin. Definitely a Lestorian tenor.

I received a confirmatory email this morning, stating that they will be shipping next week.

Coleman Hawkins, Album volume 1 (Trio) Eric Kloss, First Class Kloss (Prestige)

I"ve seen him live a few times with the Mingus Big Band, where he plays a bass that Mingus played. I believe I've also seen him with Jack Walrath. Good bassist.

I just lucked into this on eBay in perfect condition.

I file CTI albums in the CTI section.

Oudi Hrant, Turkish Delights (Prestige). Brief liner notes and no recording date/discographical information included or in Prestige discography. The leader is superb on oud. There are also ensemble performances. Several feature saxophone solos. The saxophonist sounds like Zoot Sims.

Carl LeBlanc and Geovane Santos, Purple House

Angel Bat Dawid, The Oracle (International Anthem)

Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band, '63 (Verve) Milton Nascimento, Nova Historia De Musica Popular Brasileira

Somehow I skipped or missed the 2010 ESP-DISK expanded 2CD reissue of Nothing Is (College Tour volume 1, The Complete Nothing Is)). This features more material from the 1966 concert excerpted on the original album, and also some sound check rehearsals from the same concert. Great sound and utterly fantastic music. More is even better in this case. What a group (Ra. Gilmore, Marshal Allen, Pat Patrick, Robert Cummings, Teddy Nance, Ali Hassan, Clifford Jarvis, Ronnie Boykins, James Jacson, Carl Nimrod). Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a volume 2.

Andre Previn Trio, King Size (Contemporary). Superbly recorded (not by Ray DuNann). Oregon, Winter Light (Vanguard)
