All three of his "Concord" dates are worth picking up. I play them all often.

Oliver Nelson, King Curtis & Jimmy Forrest - Soul Battle (Prestige/OJC). Generally, when the Penguin pans a Prestige jam session, I don't agree. This isn't one of those times. It's OK, but nothing big happens.

I thought the contrast in styles nice...

Steve Lacy - Wordless (undated Musica reissue of the 1971 Futura album)

[jeffcrom]

Piano Red - First Piece of the Rock (Southern Tracks). Recorded in 1978, but not released until 1985, shortly after Red's death. Mr. Perryman revisits some of his most famous songs (along with a couple of spirituals), with a four-piece band of his usual buddies, including veteran Atlanta guitarist Wesley Jackson (Fred's brother, I think, although I haven't been able to confirm that).

[kh1958]

Brother Jack McDuff, Walk on By (Prestige, blue label mono), and

Art Blakey and the Afro-Drum Ensemble, The African Beat (Blue Note, NY USA mono).

Hank Mobley "no room for squares" (blue note ny USA, stereo)

Steve Reid " rhythmatism" (mustevic, USA)

Edward Vesala "lumi" (ECM, Germany)

Paul Bley - Ballads (ECM)

My all time favourite Bley. Stupendous record.

Just put it on, thanks for the 'suggestion'

Makes sense to play this after Let The Music Take You as they come from the same performance

I didn't realise that. I've often wondered whether 'Let The Music Take You' is worth tracking down. As I enjoy 'Hipman' you may have answered my question, thank you

Jack DeJohnette (d, p, melodica), David Murray (ts, bcl), Arthur Blythe (as), Peter Warren (b, cello). ECM, 1979.

Just finished - Tony Scott - Music For Zen Meditation (Verve). Eh. It made for OK dinner music.

Now playing - Claudio Roditi - Claudio! (Uptown). Much better than the last one. I bought this mostly for Slide Hampton and I wasn't disappointed. Nice date.

"Members of the Count Basie Orchestra directed by Maxwell Davis" - The Compositions of Count Basie (Crown). This LP will probably not survive the record purge that's coming in a few years, but in the meantime, it's fun to play every once in a while. The band is indeed a mix of then-current (1959) Basie sidemen and west coast studio guys. There are some nice solos by the Two Franks, and B.B. King sings "Every Day I Have the Blues."

Joe Albany - Proto-Bopper (Revelation)
