Nucleus – Under The Sun (Vertigo, 1974) Got to be one of the starkest differences in quality between side one and side two of any record out there.

Arkadi Shilkloper and Mikhail Karetnikov - Movement (Melodiya, 1987) Soviet era french horn / bass duet.

Geoff Keezer - Trio One of the suggestions from the recent vibes / piano thread. Great stuff.

Shame. Sad to hear.

Ahmad Jamal – Live At The Montreal Jazz Festival 1985 (Atlantic)

Linda Fredriksson – Juniper (We Jazz, 2022) Has anyone else heard this one? New thing - neither avant, nor fusion, nor straight ahead genre work. A sort of post rock / saxophone thing. Quite nice stuff.

Jack Teagarden – Mis'ry And The Blues (Verve, 1961) I am not by any means a "Dixieland Guy", but this is an incredibly moving blues record, particularly the title track.

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble – Be Known: Ancient / Future / Music (2019)

Jimmy Smith – It's Necessary This record is crazy good. I'd never listened to it before today. A whole other level. Yes it is good. It sounds like Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink recording a duo album in the seventies, released on ICP. Exactly like that. Mengelberg's in particularly good form.

Misha Mengelberg / Han Bennink – Einepartietischtennis (ICP, 1974)

The Elvin Jones Jazz Machine – Remembrance (MPS, 1978)

Tony Oxley / Alan Davie – Elaboration Of Particulars (Confront, 2021)

This is great! Well done.

Hellborg / Lane / Sipe – Personae Jonas Hellborg can play some bass. Too much widdly guitar but the bass is good enough to make this record for me. As always, past 1980, widdly widdly guitar starts becoming a real issue for fusion.

Mal Waldron – One Entrance, Many Exits (Palo Alto, 1983) This is a good record.

Thank you. These look really good.

Thanks!

Thanks. I was actually looking for the next steps after those two. I had managed to go through life missing After Midnight until now and wanted to know where to go next.

Just checking for Nat King Cole LP recommendations, and I don't believe that we actually have a thread. Does one exist? Otherwise I'll start one.

Roy Eldridge - What It's All About (Pablo, 1976)

I was a bit too young for them, but I remember it as adult music that used to be around a lot when I was a little kid and seemed very sophisticated to me as a 7 or 8 year old. Just in the mood for a little 90s silliness.

MonoNeon – Banana Peel On Capitol Hill

I've been listening to a fair few of these Joe Locke records that were recommended upthread. I've never heard a vibes player who sounded more like a pianist.

The Brand New Heavies (1990)

Klaus Weiss – The Git Go (MPS, 1975) Ah. The nineteen seventies. Note the thrillingly clever Velazquezian touch to the cover art.
