Rabshakeh

Yep. Three Waves too.

Art Farmer Quartet - Sing Me Softly of the Blues (Atlantic, 1965) That rhythm section of Steve Kuhn, Steve Swallow and Pete La Roca was one of the most magical from the 1960s.

Nothing quite like feeling you are being made to do homework. I am currently enjoying: Dob Pullen and the African Brazilian Connection's Kele Mou Bana. Just finished: Lee Konitz' and Peggy Stern's The Jobim Collection on Philology.

Lee Konitz - Meets Warne Marsh Again (Pausa, 1977) Picked on vinyl after @JSngry's recommendation back in May. Definitely worth it.

Wildflowers, Vol. 5 (Casablanca, 1977) A real gem of Roscoe Mitchell on the second side of this one. Jerome Cooper and Don Moye in tow on percussion, traps and saw.

Bit of a Roscoe Mitchell / AEC marathon today chez Rabshakeh, to celebrate his 81st.

Thanks everyone!

Yep. That's the one. I am slightly intimidated by Tony Scott's hairline.

John Lindberg Trio - Give and Take (Black Saint, 1982) I hadn't realised that, not only is there another George Lewis, but there is another John Lindberg Trio. In the latter case, it is a Swedish rockabilly combo that sometimes goes by "JLT".

A short film about Brown, made by Harry English in 1967. Interesting for me is the fact that he was clearly listening to Roscoe Mitchell even in 1967 before Paris: there is a lingering shot of an implausibly clean apartment with a copy of Sounds propped on the wall. Brown, of all the NY Ascension crowd, seems to be the only one who attempted to assimilate what he was hearing from the Chicagoans.

It is the first time I had heard it. I think I picked it up because of @Teasing the Korean's recommendation, but it took me a while to listen to it because I had an idea it would be just like the Shelley Manne album Peter Gunn, but with more Herbie Mann, which didn't sell it to me. Thanks. I am one of the breed of human who fetishes the "original" LP playing experience sequence. I like to listen to what was heard by listeners at the time and in 30/40 minute chunks, maximum. Bonus tracks and luxury double vinyl reissues send me into paroxysms of indignant fury. Box sets leave me cold. I can just about handle a Live At Dreher but in all other cases I prefer to track down or experience the original LPs. Thanks for these!

Thanks!

Is this a compilation? I've been trying to figure out which LPs it is taken from, but discogs isn't much help.

Even after reading this, I looked at the cover and thought, 'what the hell'? Definitely not a 1957 look.

I'm intrigued to know which higher plane of transcendence you'll have reached by Friday afternoon.

Thanks! These look interesting and I can see why they might be different to the Lowe (going by their covers).

I'm a big fan of clarinetist Tony Scott's work on Mundell Lowe's TV Action Jazz. I'm interested to know where next to go. Any recommendations?

It's one of my favourite live jazz albums ever, along with Vol. 2. I don't know Last From Lennie's but will take your advice on it.

Great. I wasn't sure about the "you". Sorry for the misunderstanding.

With the Tenors of Our Time by The Roy Hargrove Quintet (Verve, 1994) This album has aged a hell of a lot better than most major label jazz records of its time. Just finished this absolute beast: Jaki Byard Quartet - Live! Vol. 1

To be clear, I do not like oyster crackers or understand what they are for, and it has not at any point crossed my mind that pasta might be a side or that any particular pasta might be substituted for rice.

I can't believe noone has mentioned the oyster crackers. I once saw a picture of some Cincinnati chilli that has stuck in my head as the worst picture of food I've ever seen. The photograph showed a mess of chilli, processed grated cheese, spaghetti and oyster crackers. Everything about it was unaesthetic and it was obviously going to be flavourless, ersatz and generally grim when eaten. It was the rogue oyster crackers that really made it the Mona Lisa of bad food photography. The recipe above really reminds me of that photo. Sorry to ask a stupid question, but is the Great Beans Debate a regional thing or a reflection on the foods adoption in American culture? In other words, was there really one "O.G. chilli", derivations from which are merely so many pineapple and ham pizzas? or were there multiple O.G. chillis, with wide variations, some with beans and some without? I am asking as an ignorant Londoner who has never been to either Mexico or the South Western US. Either way, I'm definitely Team Bean. I'll take them in the chilli and also as a side dish, please. I would eat beans three meals a day. I think I read somewhere that this sort of "chilli" actually comes from Greek pasta recipes, rather than from Mexico or Italy.

Suet an inch high? I’m with Porcy62.

This looks great. Similar to the recent British comp and the older GP one in that it gives a good overview of the more famous names. Something to dig into.

Rudi Brink - Teach Me Tonight (CNR, 1973) First listen to this. Very smoochy stuff and no sharp edges.
