kh1958

Dick Johnson and Dave McKenna, Spider's Blues (Concord) Sonny Stitt, Come Hither (Solid State) Ken Wheeler.John Dankforth Orchestra, Windmill Tilting (Fontana) I was not familiar with Dick Johnson, a swing band veteran. He is excellent. I enjoy Sonny Stitt on varitone, but with a couple of tracks that are exceptions this is not one of the good ones. Windmill Tilting, ordered on Amazon, just arrived from Spain.

John Young, Serenata (Delmark)

But it was all worth it... Mayfield commissioned a 24-karat gold-plated bejeweled trumpet, spent $39,000 for a prepaid concert at Carnegie Hall and $18,000 for lodging and meals at the Ritz-Carlton in New York. A single breakfast at the luxury hotel totaled $1,435.

I didn't realize when I ordered that it was solo bass, but I do like it. The sound of the bass amp is not optimal, but most of his compositions are fairly compelling.

I have one other of the Jazzbuhne series-volume 12 led by James Blood Ulmer and features George Adams. A bootleg it may be but It is the best recording of these two together.

Erskine Hawkins, 1939-1940 (Classics)

I have all on this list except Live in Tokyo. I don't know if Jazzbuhne Berlin '88, Vol. 17 is technically a bootleg or not. It is a well recorded concert. Better recorded than the Palcoscenico LPs, as I recall. There is also a duo release on Timeless. I don't know of any others except the Horo releases.

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)
