Great record! I'll have to pull it off the shelf later.

I play the CD often. The CD adds a few hard-to-find JATP performances from their Paris show in 1958.

Yes, Getz and Eldridge together is a fantastic combination. My copy, the cover is falling apart, but the LP is in terrific condition; trumpet label version sounds really fine.

Johnny Lytle Trio - Blue Vibes [Jazzland]

my copy's seen some action in previous lives. In fact, it sounds a bit like the above sleeve looks but amongst all the "atmospheric" background noise the music shines through gloriously.

Next up..

Steve Williamson - A Waltz for Grace. ( Verve 843 088-1 )

That's a good one.

Williamson has made a few live appearances in the last couple of years after many years seemingly away from the circuit. I hope he becomes more active still and records again

Johnny Lytle - The Village Caller [OJC Riverside reissue]

that's my Lytle's listened to. Need to get some more

[mjazzg]

Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone [ESP]

 a recent purchase that knocks me out each time I play it, which is often at the moment. The use of cello and bass, no drums, is masterful

Nice one.  I always enjoy the Lytle Riversides.   They always leave me with a good feeling.

Chuffed with today’s £5 find. Good as the CD version sounds, this stereo LP from 1969 is way better and in fine nick. Even came with a pristine accompanying Ember booklet covering this release and a Ben Webster that they did.

[Clunky]

I've never heard any of the Johnny Lytle Riversides, listened randomly to a few tracks on the streaming service as wasn't too excited by what I heard. I'll admit it's no way to any music you care about but it serves as a screening process.

 

NP a couple of favourites...neither new..

 

Air------Air time-------(nessa)  I noticed that Threadgill has a new one coming out soon on Pi 

 

Annette Peacock-------I'm the one ------( RCA)  I've been listening to a few recent reissues ( Bamboo) with Paul Bley

Cecil Taylor - Indent (Arista/Freedom). Brilliant, very tightly woven solo piano music. I've had my copy for 40 years.

I don't think you should look for anything too deep in Lytle's music.   But some of it is quite uplifting. That's how I find it.  Plenty of others will differ.

That's generally right. But this one, 'People & love' on Milestone, DOES go deep.

It's a brilliant album.

Here's a track.

I agree. Good time 'groove' music but then I'm a sucker for vibes most anywhere

I've wanted that LP for a long time. Pockets have to be quite deep too, sadly

It's on CD, as a twofer with his previous LP 'The soulful rebel' which is more like the usual Johnny Lytle kind of thing.

Here it is, on Amazon UK, for £9.21 new.

PS If you want the vinyl, you can get it from Discogs. £21-41, which is cheap for the quality of music you get. But it depends where you live and where the sellers are.

[Clunky]

Thanks for that Lytle recommendation. Ordered the CD , should be here for the weekend. The prices for the LP seemed OTT but a   silver disc will do fine.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Goodness, Clunky!!!! That was unexpected.

I hope you enjoy it nearly as much as I do.

Yes, thanks. I've been hovering over the Discogs LPs for a while but many aren't in great nick and postage from US etc...it'll be the CD in the end

Thanks MG , your soul jazz ( or whatever term one uses) are of the highest order. My Achilles is that I like or love  most styles of quality music and so from time to time some grease is called for. I was spring cleaning today and had two Groove Holmes LP targeted for passing on ( Living Soul and Soul Message). I played them both and changed my mind even if neither is a masterpiece. I think we are incredibly lucky here to have your expert ear .... although it's always costly

making do with Larry in lieu of Johnny. He'll do, definitely

Great minds.... I was playing this very title earlier today. Althea Young's vocals sounded particularly dreadful on this Liberty pressing, I don't recall is sounding as bad an the Mosaic set. Possibly because you can hear what she's doing more clearly on the LP. 🔥

it's not the strongest track in his oeuvre or on this album
