paul secor Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Guitar Shorty - the North Carolina musician, not the electric guitarist - was one of those guitarist/singers like Robert Pete Williams and Joseph Spence, who created and lived in a musical world of his own. A unique musician and one to be treasured. Edited February 26, 2019 by paul secor Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 McCoy Tyner - Atlantis (Milestone). Record one tonight. Quote

NP: Baritone sax on 10" LPs - Gerry Mulligan Quartet (Pacific Jazz). A couple of years ago I found a beautiful copy of Pacific Jazz #1 in Bellingham, Washington. I'm happy to be its caretaker for a few years, until someone else inherits it. Lars Gullin - Modern Sounds: Sweden (Contemporary). Two 1953 sessions - quartet and quintet. Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Charles Mingus - Wonderland (Solid State). The 1969 issue of this outstanding 1959 concert. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Dave Liebman/Tatsuya Nakatina/Adam Rudolph - The Unknowable [RareNoise] first of two new Liebman's on RareNoise Records (the other has Hamid Drake instead of Nakatina). This one is beautifully recorded. Rudolph's live processing really adds to the overall effect. As a Liebman agnostic this was a bit of a risk but I'm pleased I took it Quote

HutchFan Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Now spinning: McCoy Tyner - Passion Dance (Milestone, 1979) with Ron Carter & Tony Williams I wish McCoy would've recorded more with Tony. I think they're supremely well-suited to each other. Tyner is one of the few pianists/musicians whose drive and power is every bit the equal of Williams'. But IIRC their only collaborations are Passion Dance, Counterpoints (a companion disc from the same concert), and Supertrios. Am I missing anything? Edited February 26, 2019 by HutchFan Quote
HutchFan Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 On to the second disc from the same concert: My version of this is actually a CD, not an LP -- but I'm posting it here for continuity's sake. Quote

paul secor Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Reading Joachim-Ernst Berendt's liner notes, I came across: "The most fluent of the early jazz clarinet players was not the overrated Sidney Bechet, but Albert Nicholas …." Leaving Albert Nicholas aside, the "overrated" comment about Sidney Bechet is one of the most ignorant things I've ever read (even granting that Bechet's main horn was soprano). I stopped reading the notes at that point. Quote
