Today's vinyl, so far:

Bobby Watson - No Question About It (BN)

Oregon - Friends (Vanguard). The friends are Bennie Wallace, pianist Larry Karush, and percussionist David Earle Johnson.

Don Pullen/Chico Freeman/Fred Hopkins/Bobby Battle - Warriors (Black Saint)

Kind of all over the place, in a way, but it's all jazz, baby.

That album can try the stamina if you're not up for it, but if you are....WHOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!!

I saw this band in London at a time when the jazz scene was very dull, dominated by soul and funk. It proved that jazz was actually alive and well!

Another group I have good memories of seeing live.

On deck - Dick Morrissey 'Storm Warning' (UK Mercury, mono). This one is a match for anything of that era on Blue Note.

I read such good things about the new LP reissues of the Hendrix catalog from Columbia that I tried some out at bargain prices.

Amazing sound! Axis sounds astonishingly good.

This AM:

Trio_Live_Trident.jpg

Bill Evans Trio - Live (Verve, 1964)

059089.jpg

Billy Usselton Sextet - His First Album (Kapp, 1957)

The Evans features what might be his most textbook playing. I like it though. The Usselton is nice. This is the original pressing, but it was reissued by Fresh Sound. Intriguing front line of tenor, bass clarinet, and trombone. Well arranged, but not overarranged, with Usselton sounding kind of like Paul Desmond on the larger horn. But just kind of.
