Interesting date. Glad it's out there.

Clarke Boland Big Band - Off Limits - (Polydor GER)

I return to this CBBB session a fair amount, probably because it's a bit more left-field than most of the catalog.

Art Tatum/Erroll Garner: Giants of the Piano (Roost Japan)

[jeffcrom]

New York Woodwind Quintet - Alec Wilder Sketches the World's Most Beautiful Girls (Golden Crest)

This is one of those completely unclassifiable Alec Wilder albums. Wilder has taken a bunch of songs with women's names in the title ("Liza," "Sweet Lorraine," etc.), added several similarly-titled original pieces, and arranged the lot for classical woodwind quintet. On the face of it, this is a really stupid idea, and the resulting album should be terrible - but it's pretty good; it's got the feel of his famous octets. Can't find a picture of the "bathing beauties from different countries" cover.

Neil Ardley 'A Symphony of Amaranths' (Regal Zonophone)

Ardley's masterpiece, IMO. With a wonderful cast too, including some renowned British classical players of the time - and Ivor Cutler.

Nice vinyl afto

Willis Jackson - In the alley - Muse

Charles Earland - Soul story - Prestige

Les McCann - Pretty lady - Pacific Jazz (King Jap)

George Benson - Breezin' - WB (UK) - Not played this for quite a while. The killer track is still 'This masquerade'; not that the rest is bad, but 'This masquerade' is the only one that DEMANDS that you listen.

Yes, you are right, the Maynard Parker album is named for the Greg Allman song, Midnight Rider.
