Lars Gullin------The EMI years 1964-1976-------(EMI Sweden) LP4 = Jazz Amour Affair

side one Lars plus orchestra , ambitious for sure , may need me some time to appreciate this fully. Despite the strings swooping in occasionally it's in no way lush, only once it's got going properly does Lars get to solo and then it all seems worth it. Interesting.

Chet Baker: Chet (Riverside/Analogue Productions)

Pepper Adams' solos should have been edited out of this recording. Or, better yet, he shouldn't have been allowed to solo and just been restricted to playing backgrounds. The leader is playing music. Mr. Adams is playing notes.

Music of New Orleans: The Brass Bands (Jazzology). The first recordings (1962) of the Olympia Brass Band on side one; a relatively late (1966) recording of the mighty Eureka Brass Band on side two. The Eureka side represents the only recording of all three Humphrey brothers (Percy, Willie, and Earl) playing together. And Willie's solo on "St. Louis Blues" represents the moment when I realized that he was a brilliant improviser - something more than just a good New Orleans clarinetist.

Dave "Fat Man" Williams - I Ate Up the Apple Tree (New Orleans). As Paul Secor knows, a fabulous New Orleans album. I would go so far as to say that if you don't like this one, you don't understand New Orleans music.

72 hours or so from playing two night in my favorite city, and I'm starting to taste it.

I could only find a partial scan of the cover online.
