Coltrane's Sound (Atlantic, mono).

115901465.jpg

Steve Lacy Trio, N.Y. Capers (Hat Art). I've had the CD for years, but finally got the LP set with the extra tracks.

More of the same, plus Steve Lacy, Raps. Bismillah Khan, an awesome shenai player, is on deck--if the kids fall asleep I can listen to it.My copy of "capers" is a brown gatefold sleeve; not sure which is the 1st issue. Regardless, it's excellent music!

.. You've got the original; I've got the pizza box reissue. Re: Vancouver record stores suck--things are better across the strait in Victoria...that's where I picked up the Coltrane and Raps. Happy New Year!

Now this gem with McPartland, Freeman, Russell, Teagarden, Condon, Haggart, Sullivan and Krupa.

What label is that on, Chuck?

Back from the gig, and much to my surprise, what I wanted to hear was:

sonny-rollins-nucleus-20111116044624.jpg

Sonny Rollins - Nucleus (Milestone). Inferior mid-1970s Rollins of the kind decried in a recent thread. But then, there's "Azalea," the last tune on side one, on which Newk plays a strange, twisted solo that had me shaking my head in wonder. And that's why I listen to "inferior," post-1970 Rollins.

It's on Verve - a Creed Taylor production from 1961. Lil Armstrong and Blossom Seeley make appearances too.

Funny thing, those vintage Japanese free jazz pressings. "Church number nine" on Odeon has even got 10 minutes of extra music (sort of "part 3") compared to the French Calumet.

I have an original French pressing but have long been curious about the Japanese Odeon and its extra ten minutes of music. Curious, but it's hard to break the bank purchasing something you already own!

I've checked again and am pretty sure now that the extra music on the Japanese Frank Wright is the '"Church number nine" track on Noah Howard's "Space Dimension" (which didn't really belong there in the first place). It's been restored (it's longer and doesn't have the fade out-pause-restart) and the sound is far, far superior.

Anyway, French or Japanese, it's still one of the most exciting free jaz records ever made and it deserves a first class reissue (how about a Noah Howard & Frank Wright Complete Small Group Sessions box set?).

Ah! Yeah, I have the Japanese pressing of the Howard (hat-tip to homefromtheforest) and it sounds great. All set then.

PARIS%2BREUNION%2BBAND%2BFor%2BKlook.jpg

Paris Reunion Band - For Klook (Gazell). A Seattle find. This is my first listen, and so far the music seems like less than the sum of its parts.

Know what you mean. That lineup should ensure something incredible whereas it's merely average.

Phil Woods & European Rhythm Machine ------Live at Montreux 72---------(Pierre Cardin,France)

Very strong rhythm section risks eclipsing Phil. Phil plays lots of notes but seems perhaps a little directionless. None the less the whole effect of the band is pretty compelling especially Gordon Beck on piano who seems inspired.

Good one.

Now,

Seam - Headsparks - (City Slang, GER)

Good album. Now I'm getting nostalgic for the music of my youth! Maybe I should pull out "umber" by Bitch Magnet tonight ;)

Hah, yeah Bitch Magnet are great. Saw their reunion tour come through NYC a couple years ago. Star Booty (Roman Candle OG) was on deck earlier today as well.

Now:

Evergreen - s/t - (Hi-Ball)

strong, strong post-punk from Louisville's heyday with Britt Walford on drums.

Haven't heard that one in about 15 years!
