Steve Lacy - Catch (Horo). Duo with Kent Carter.

Hlrace Parlan - On the Spur of the Moment (BN/Music Matters reissue)

George Lewis and His New Orleans All Stars (Catalyst). Recorded in a Tokyo during Lewis' last (1964) of three Japanese tours. A really nice band, with trumpeter Jack Willis and trombonist Louis Nelson completing the front line. Willis was a really interesting player. He played with Ray Charles for awhile, and was something of a modernist. I hear Bobby Hackett, Miles Davis, and Clifford Brown in his playing. At the same time, he fits in well here. He was Lewis' regular trumpet player during this period, and he sounds like he loves playing this music. George Lewis and Louis Nelson could only do what they did (if that makes sense), while Willis was part of a later New Orleans generation, maturing in the 1940s and 1950s, that could play anything - traditional jazz, bebop, R & B. But when they played the older music, they played with the authority of musicians who grew up hearing that style as part of their daily soundscape.

Ray Charles - The Genius Sings the Blues (Atlantic mono). This wonderful compilation of hits and obscurities was issued in 1961 from 1952-58 recordings. The piano/vocal solo "Someday Baby" was first released here; it's the only surviving track from a solo, no-band session made in 1953.

Discogs lists an incredible total of 10 (ten!) pressing variations of the Nessa. 

I have this one: https://www.discogs.com/de/The-Art-Ensemble-Of-Chicago-Les-Stances-A-Sophie/release/2069878

That reminds me of stamp collecting: watermarks, perforation ... ;-)!

mine's this one. Maybe Mr Nessa (or Clifford T) can enlighten us as to why so many different labels in 1970 alone

Tommy Flanagan & Kenny Barron: Together

Not my usual listening, but the music is played so well that I couldn't help but listen with a smile on my face.

What is up with that cover? A pictorial representation of a cat's fart?

The Soul of the Koto (Lyrichord). Gorgeous music, but I wish the names of the performers had been given.

might be licensed from another label, as happens with quite a few Lyrichords. Of course, getting to the bottom of that trough is easier said than done.

I know the Michio Miyagi lineage, less familiar with other koto masters and students.

In general I believe the Niehaus releases being underappreciated .... Shelly Manne "The Three" is very interesting though ....
