A typical evening's progression in the jeffcrom house: avant-ish to mainstream to New Orleans trad.

New York Contemporary Five - Consequences (Japanese Fontana)

Duke Pearson - Wahoo (BN 80s issue)

Preacher Rollo and the Saints - Ostrich Walk (Lion)

The last one is not for everyone, for sure. Rollo Layton was a Miami-based drummer, and by all accounts a pretty unpleasant person. His playing is kind of corny, but eight of the twelve tracks here have New Orleanian Tony Parenti on clarinet, and he elevates the music quite a bit. And all but two of these 1951-55 tracks have Marie Marcus on piano. She was a local-hero type journeywoman jazz player (in Miami, then Cape Cod) who was so admired by Whitney Balliett that he wrote a profile of her for The New Yorker. These are the only recordings of her I have. Lion was the cheap-label subsidiary of MGM.

I must admit I don´t have much Duke Pearson, I have him on some Donald Byrd, on the "Idle Moments" where he contributed most, and his own "Sweet Honey Bee". My question is about the title "Wahoo". Do they play that old bebop tune "Wahoo" (Tadd´s riff on Perdido) or is "Wahoo" not related to the old Dameron-composition ?

This cover looks as if it was left in the sun for a long time. The red ink is almost completely bleached away. Paper masking tape is nasty stuff. $399? Really?

If you want the best sounding version of this on vinyl, buy the Cisco Music LP. It sounds great. I've owned an RVG stereo pressing and the Cisco pressing beats it handily.

FWIW, I still play the TOCJ CD more than anything else.

No - not related to the bebop line. Pearson's "Wahoo" is an original 5/4 blues.

I'd start with Places We've Never Been on Vanguard. His deal with the label called for him to make two pop/jazz albums, at which point he'd get to make an album according to his preferences. Places We've Never Been is that album. It must have sold dozens of copies, and the label dropped him.

There are two excellent albums from the first decade of this century: Another Place on Label Bleu and The Salzau Quartet Live at Jazz Baltica on Traumton. The former has Jason Moran on drums.

All of these represent Green's playing after he reinvented himself after his early-60s soul jazz albums. I think of his mature style as "sideways jazz" rather than straight-ahead jazz, if that makes any sense.

I second the love for Bunky's Places We've Never Been.

I love that tune, the ensemble voicings give me the shivers. Henderson rules

I have the Japanese issue as well but I think I prefer the UK in this case !

It cost me either £2.99 or £3.25 from my local outlet, back in the day. A week’s pocket money..

From the RendellCarr Lansdowne box. Sounded great from the off but a spin in the RCM was worthwhile.
