Happy Thanksgiving. I'm celebrating with Sinatra At The Sands:

Mal Waldron - Black Glory (Enja) - solid early 70s Waldron , not perhaps up there with Free at Last (ECM) but good none the less.

Billy Harper: Capra Black (Nippon Columbia)

[jeffcrom]

Maynard Ferguson - Swingin' My Way Through College (Roulette mono). This 1958 album is supposed to represent the kind of set MF's band would play for a dance. In spite of the concept, and the regrettable album title, it's a pretty damn good album, with interesting arrangements by Bill Holman, Slide Hampton, Willie Maiden, and Don Sebesky.

Yes, listening to samples - sounds good - available as a download. No solos at all on the samples - is this true of the whole album?

No, there are plenty of solos - good ones, too - mostly by Maynard (who is remarkably well-behaved), and tenor saxists Carmen Leggio and Willie Maiden. No Slide Hampton solos, alas.

Josh Abrams - Represencing - (Eremite)

[jeffcrom]

Frank Wess - Poor You, Little Me. My mono copy of this fine album is one of those weird Prestige hybrids - the record has the yellow and black fireworks labels, the back cover is Status, and the front cover is apparently Prestige with a Status sticker pasted over the Prestige logo.

[jeffcrom]

John Wright - Nice 'n' Tasty (Status mono, although with a Prestige front, as shown)

[clifford_thornton]

Albert Ayler - Spirits - (Transatlantic, mono)
