On a roll...
Blue Mitchell 'Bantu Village' (BN Liberty stereo)
Sounds like Blue is using the varitone attachment on part of this album. First time I've noticed that.
Prince Lasha/Sonny Simmons 'Firebirds' (Contemporary green label DG stereo). Audio by Bernie Grundman !
Really sorry to hear this. First Elton Dean, then in a matter of weeks, Pip Pyle. Just happened to be playing an 'In Cahoots' CD in the car only the other day and really enjoying it too. Much too young - may he rest in peace.
A happy birthday to Alice Coltrane ! I haven't heard anything like enough of her own music - reading the 'House That Trane Built' has really whetted my appetite for hearing those Impulse recordings.
Lee Morgan 'Cornbread' (BN NY USA stereo). Amazing how good both the late Billy Higgins and Jackie Mac sound on this.
Harold Vick 'Steppin' Out' (BN NY USA mono)
