jimmy forrest's night train- not the 78, nor 45, but the UNITED full length, this lp is quite scarce, expect to be searching for a long while before finding one

Thanks for the info, Clifford!

Freddie Hubbard - High Energy- (CBS) UK ssue, Freddie in very fine form , out of Miles' electric bag, some tracks not 100% but a pretty good effort. Well worth the £3 it cost me at a record fair yesterday.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Coleman Hawkins - Make Someone Happy from Do Re Mi (Prestige dark blue label, VAN GELDER in the deadwax)

Nice find Adrian. There's some good music tucked away in there. I have a US copy.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Drum Suite (Philips)

Yesterday also found a copy of Rollin' (MPS) - again a good one if more conventional hard bop but well played with no evident slacking

[jeffcrom]

Chick Corea/Dave Holland/Barry Altschul - A.R.C. (ECM)

[jeffcrom]

Rockin' Tabby Thomas - King of the Swamp Blues (Maison de Soul)

Billy Taylor 'With Four Flutes' (Riverside, mono)

[jeffcrom]

"Tabby"...isn't that a cat?

Yes, and that cat is the father of bluesman Chris Thomas King.

Probably scratched Chris when he was a kid.

[JSngry]

Just goes to show...

Billy Taylor 'With Four Flutes' (Riverside, mono)

To each their own, but this is a nightmarish proposition for me.

[JSngry]

Haven't heard the album, but the cover photo looks like Doctor Billy Taylor is being held inside a jail cell the door of which was designed by an orthodontist!

[clifford_thornton]

Ha!

Well, Seldon Powell is apparently on it, too, though he didn't get front-cover billing.

[JSngry]

I wonder was Joe Williams high or something on this one. He seems mighty....FRISKY!

No matter, he does this mutliphonic high note thing on "It Don't Mean A thing" that I swear to god when it came out the speakers I swore it was Lockjaw. Talk about aural history...

Textbook example of everybody involved being challenged to the point of sparklingly average. Can't ignore either quality. I know plenty "society bands" whose books would be exponentially improved by having charts of this quality. Plus, early-ish stdio appearances by both Mel Lewis & Jim Hall, as well as tenorist Bob Hardaway. Also, Hana's "Bogata" has an opening phrase and harmonization that makes you think you're going to hear "Moon Rays". You don't, but I think Hanna got there first.

But yeah, you can dance to it, and yeah, it is jazz. So...mission accomplished?
