Bunky Green - Testifyin' Time (Argo mono). Really nice.

Steve Lacy - Prospectus (hat ART). It's been awhile since I've played this. Magnificent - one of my favorite Lacy albums.

Swing, Vol. 1 (RCA Vintage Series). Wonderful music. There was never a Volume Two, I don't think.

"Prospectus" is my favorite Hat Art Lacy title; followed by "morning joy" and "we see".  "Stalks" and "evidence", however, would probably edge all of those out when picking favorites but really why bother?  It's like picking gems from gems!

Tonight's platter:

Ernie Henry "presenting Ernie Henry" (riverside, white label USA orig)

Bob Moses - When Elephants Dream Of Music [Gramavision]

George Russell - The African Game [Blue Note]

80s big band afternoon, Maybe Hemphill's could be next

edit to add:

Julius Hemphill Big Band - s/t [Elektra Musician]

of the three the Russell sounds by far the most dated

Right you are about Lacy. Stalks is a truly amazing record - actually, all those 1975 Japanese tour LPs are essential.

There's no "Clinker" in the bunch that he did for Hat Art/Hat Hut.

Well Lacy called that Japan tour in 1975 the "spiritual unity" tour and that makes sense; something very special occurred between those musicians.  I've been fortunate to have heard recordings from the live shows and they are equally stunning.

Summit Meeting (Vanguard). An all-star date featuring five artists signed to Vanguard at the time - Clark Terry, Bunky Green, James Moody, Roland Prince and Elvin Jones. Everyone plays well, but wow - Bunky Green!

Kid Thomas Valentine - Thomas Valentine at Kohlman's Tavern (New Orleans). Sweet and hot New Orleans dance music. I doubt that Kid Thomas cared at all whether what he was playing was "jazz."

Jerry McCain - Blues on the Move (Robox). Obscure Southern funk/blues from 1979.
