Speaking of Rouse of that circa 1960 vintage, whatever happened to Seldon Powell?
 

Pretty sure he had a pretty good life doing session work of all sorts, on that one Thad/Mel album, played on "The second race" iirc, not at all phased by all that gloriously goofy mess that Thad threw at him. A lesson in survival, in its own way, not a great solo, but then again, he didn't back down or away, he just played with the band. And he got paid for the night. Survival.

Another kind of survival, this time on Encounter Records (a very small but most uber-coll output of a label) from the early 70s, produced by Lloyd Price:

Because, Eddie Harris couldn't make all the Eddie Harris records, could he now!

But I like that shit, because, yes, derivative, intentionally so, but insincer, phony, fake, whatever, etc? Not as I hear it, again, not phased, just play the gig, play with the band, get paid, living being made, fair enough, imo.

I like those latter-day Powell tracks too. In fact, they're not that far removed from how he played on some tracks from his Roost albums.

Dewey Redman - Coincide (Impulse). Hard-core, even for Impulse. And really good.

[kh1958]

Dave Brubeck Quartet, The Last Time We Saw Paris (Columbia)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Kenny Dorham - Una Mas (Blue Note). Blue label Liberty Van Gelder pressing. It's pressings like this where I realize that those bright RVG CDs aren't so far off from the original LPs as I originally thought. Rudy liked his midrange.

 

[kh1958]

Stan Getz, Voices (Verve)

[sidewinder]

Jutta Hipp ‘At The Hickory House, Vol 2’ (Toshiba). Another great sounding reissue. 

[paul secor]

Ben Webster: Did You Call? (Nessa)

The best late period (say, post 1967) Ben that I've heard

[Dmitry]

Robin Kenyatta - GIRL FROM MARTINIQUE

US ECM pressing from 1973, promo. A very strong record, very confident playing by Kenyatta and the band. Is it on cd?

Oscar Peterson, Plays The Irving Berlin Songbook (Verve)

Clifford Brown, Quartet in Paris 1953 (Prestige)

Clark Terry, All American (Prestige Moodsville)

Howard Riley Trio - The Day Will Come [CBS]

my first listen to this. What intensely involving playing throughout

Followed by 'John Jenkins/Kenny Burrell' (Toshiba). Another humanly-affordable reissue.

I've this issue too. It sounds so different from the Conn. cd which has much more high frequency information. The Toshiba LP sounds fuller and arguably less thrilling perhaps even dull by comparison . I've kept both?

^ While I prefer later Horace, all Horace is ace

Strange, didn’t sound that deficient to me at the high frequencies. In fact, much better all round than I was expecting. I have the Music Matters 2x45 and will have to check how that lines up. No doubt, even better still.

The Anniversary box of 4CDs is great by the way too.

Yep, I got it as a present from a dear buddy of mine. While no t a great fan of compilations, this is an awesome slice of the CTI oeuvre, I enjoy it a lot. Whoever compiled it, did a superb job.

[Dmitry]

Willie Bobo - BOBO MOTION, original 1967 mono. I'm sure stereo sounds more interesting, but this is what I got. A nice, funky album, displaying technical mastery of those on it. The band personnel is not listed, I hear someone similar to Plas Johnson there. It's a top of the line, swinging band.

All the tunes were arranged by Bert Keyes and Sonny Hill, names that are not immediately recalled by my unencumbered memory.

Also dig the cover.
