High Atmosphere (Rounder)

Wondrous music accompanied by haunting photographs by John Cohen (who also did the recordings) on the cover and in the accompanying booklet. One of the most beautifully presented records in my collection.

An old friend came out to visit and brought along a bunch of beer:

RNA organism "meets POPO" (vanity, Japan)

Guru Guru "kanguru" (brain metronome, Germany)

Masahiko Sato/Jean Luc Ponty "astrorama" (Liberty, Japan)

Shankar/Jon Christensen "MRCS" (ECM, Germany)

Knut Risnaes "Flukt" (Odin, Norway)

Jackie McLean "new soil" (Blue note, 47 w 63rd stereo ear)

MC5 "kick out the jams" (Elektra, USA uncensored)

Strange "Translucent world" (private, USA)

needless to say it was a fun night ;)

It's a split LP from 1970 - part of that series "The Best Players in Japan." I'd never seen a copy before and the personnel aren't listed on the record. The Mine side is quartet so my guess is that Masahiro Kikuchi, Yoshiro Suzuki and Hiroshi Murakami are the rhythm section.

J.R. Monterose - Live In Albany (Uptown). J.R. - sax; Hod O'Brien - piano; Teddy Kotick - bass; Eddie Robinson - drums. This one is pretty good. Rough in patches but still worth the spin and I'm gald I bought it. J.R. sounds a bit short of breath in places where he seems to "bite off" notes but it could be his style of the time (recorded May 8, 1979). O'Brien (as usual) is pretty spot on, even if stuck with a nominally tuned piano (the bass sound isn't much better). On Monterose's original, "Lu-an", he is on but the rest of the band seems to be playing at a different tempo, which strikes me as weird for a ballad.

BTW, I really enjoyed Robert Sunenblick's liner notes.
