I don’t own it, but it’s streamable, which I think is enough for me in this instance. It is a strong release, but I don’t see myself listening to it all that much if I owned it. This one, on the other hand, I would bite my arm off to buy, although from Discogs, I don’t think that would come close to covering the price.

The London Experimental Jazz Quartet - Invisible Roots (Shout!, 1974) All the way from London, Canadia.

Stan,eg Turrentine - Pieces of Dreams (Fantasy, 1974) My first ever listen to this. I’d always avoided it because it looked drippy and CTI-ish, which it certainly is, but I’m impressed at how excellent it is.

Jazz twitter and Instagram are 87% pictures of this record, and 13% fire emoji replies.

Tete Mbambisa - Tete's Big Sound (The Sun, 1976)

Lucky Thompson - Plays Jerome Kern and No More (Prestige, 1963)

That’s understandable. Thanks anyway.

Ahmed Abdul-Malik - The Music of... (New Jazz, 1961)

No. Should I check it out?

Karl Berger, Dave Holland and Ed Blackwell - Transit (Black Saint, 1987)

Some nice new purchases.

Are these available to download as podcasts? I've tried looking but can't find it on the usual Spotifys etc.

I think it's my favourite of his.

Well done for owning this one at least. I'm always impressed by this stuff.

... or at least get them up on their feet and doing the Lindy Hop. What are some jazz tunes, postwar to present, that get you our of your chair and on your feet in a second? My nominees: Eddie Harris - Listen Here (Obvious one) Steve Reid - Lions of Judah

Definitely. I second that recommendation.

Lee Konitz - Tenorlee (Candid, 1978)

Eden Ahbez - Eden's Island: The Music of an Enchanted Isle (Del-Fi, 1960)

Love a bit of Azymuth.

That's right. Tricky to find online, like a lot of his stuff. I think the tracks from that comp that are streamable on YT are also taken the original South African release.

Sting - Bring On The Night (A&M, 1986)

Thank you!

Thank you.

Dollar Brand / Abdullah Ibrahim - Blues for a Hip King (The Sun, 1976) Coetzee always turns up.

Thanks. An interesting review. I hadn't realised it was a touring group. I had it in my head that Ammons was very Chicago based, and made a record with Stitt as he passed through, then some more when that turned out to be a hit. That's the sort of "event" I'm thinking about. Similar to the example of Jacquet's famous solo on the Hampton record that you mention in that article.
