Charles Brackeen - Bannar [Silkheart]

Terrific bunch of Silhearts mentioned here.  The earlier ones were particularly good imo. Unfortunately I don't have the two Abdullahs.

Great, underrated album with great solos from all involved. Vinyl reissue appeared last year, but there also is a CD on Phono Records with a bonus track from these sessions and a complete Hendricks live album added.

"The Mis-Used Blues" is amazing!

Jimmy Lyons, Push Pull (Hat). Jimmy Lyons away from Cecil Taylor is as cool as Paul Desmond away from Dave Brubeck. Love this one!

Interesting, by coincidence I am also listening to a CD set released by "Phono Records":

Never heard of this label before, probably one of these dubious labels. However, this set is great and the sound quality very nice.

So far tonight, two excellent piano trios (with some organ on the second), and a bunch of vibists:
Dodo Marmarosa - Dodo's Back (Argo mono)
Martial Solal - Son 66 (French Columbia/Pathe)
Karl Berger/Dave Friedman/Tom van der Geld/Wolfgang Lackerschmid - Vibes Summit (MPS)

Shankar Jaikishan - Raga Jazz Style [Outernational reissue]

Ideal listening to accompany the cricket.

Nicely produced reissue. I don't how official it is, Outernational's website claims it's from master tapes but that's easy enough to state. They've just reissued a Nimbus West which looks very interesting

I don't have the original, but I have the music on a 2 LP set along with the Bill Hardman quartet date. Sounded good the last time I listened.

Interesting - one I didn’t know about, put out by EMI India originally I guess. Will investigate..

I would have thought a better accompaniment to the cricket today was ‘Theme From Jaws’.

Noah Preminger - Some Other Time (Newvelle Records). A vinyl-only release that I was able to pick up from the artist at one of his shows. Very nice date. Mellow as heck, which i do appreciate on appropriate occasions. Beautiful pressing - dead quiet clear vinyl.

EDIT:  I went to put the record away and I notice the sleeve is huge. I go to put it onto the record shelves and WTF - it's about 3/4's of an inch taller than normal! That is weird.

Now playing:

Counts Basie Presents Eddie Davis Trio + Joe Newman (Roulette). R-52007 (mono) white label promo. This band cooks but Shirley Scott's organ has some kind of reverb on her feed into the mix that makes it sound like she's playing in a gym. Not her best sound. I have better by all involved. This is not one I'll be playing all that often.

Herb Ellis - Ellis In Wonderland (Verve). What a nice record. I am really digging this one. Swingers mixed with nice ballads.Foot tapping music.

One of the more offbeat Herbie releases.. actually a Jonathan Klein project. Trunk LP.

Hints of ‘Speak Like A Child’, interestingly.

Often wondered about that one, such an interesting line up. I like the sound of those hints

[sidewinder]

I like it !  Herbie produces some lovely lyrical solos and with that lineup, how can you go wrong.

Apparently it was an ad-hoc session at Union scale, with Herbie getting twice scale  as ‘musical director’. The arrangements were by teenager Jonathan Klein, who plays french horn and baritone sax (!) on the session. Just another routine session for Herbie and co but a quiet gem nevertheless. Both Ron Carter and Herbie have expressed very positive recollections over it. Jonathan Klein apparently hates it.

The original US release was only sold in synogogues and sold just a couple of hundred copies apparently. Trunk’s LP version was said to be 500 but I’m not sure if that many were actually sold.

A ‘curate’s egg’ (or should I say, Rabbi’s egg) - but an enjoyable and fascinating one. The Trunk LP is a needle drop from one of the rare originals but is excellently done. The master tapes are AWOL.
