Theo Loevendie Quartet - Orlando [Waterland]

I see this one a lot and am always tempted... what is it like?

Myself, now playing

Santo Pecora - Santo and his New Orleans Rhythm Kings

finally, after more than twenty years of listening to jazz, I have my first serious New Orleans/Dixieland revival phase... forgot what exactly started it but over the past few weeks I've ordered books, read most of Jeffcrom's blog, the usual... luckily, a lot can be found on spotify... but still, when I saw an original Southland album from mid-50s New Orleans featuring Harry Shields on clarinet and Lester Bouchon on saxophone I just had to have it...

It was my first listen but early impressions are very favourable. Robust playing by all four players, especially impressed by the rhythm section. Not as intense as the live album they recorded, as it's more theme-based and less stretching out by all concerned but still gives each player the freedom to explore. Dulfer and Loevendie sound good both separately and together. Well worth a picking up if not expensive (which it wasn't in the UK so guess won't be on home turf)

Thanks! Indeed, when I see it here on its home turf, it usually wouldn't  cost me that much... distribution and vinyl prices for things from the past, in particular the 70s and 80s are sometimes counterintuitive... for instance, as a cd buyer I never would have suspected how well-represented Ira Sullivan is on relatively cheap LPs... or how well-distributed Waterland Records apparently was...

Joseph Jarman - Song For [Delmark]

[paul secor]

I forgot that Elvin plays on this record.
There are musicians today who record Monk tributes in various manners - and good for them - but Steve Lacy was doing it 60 years ago, when it wasn't the fashion to do so.

STEVE LACY: THE SUPREME INTERPRETER OF THE MUSIC OF THELONIOUS MONK

Sonny Stitt/Bunky Green - Soul in the Night (Cadet). Yeah, Stitt is a burner, but to my ears, Bunky's playing is so much more interesting and imaginative.

Sonny Clark: Cool Struttin'

I´ve read once that some years ago there were coffee or tea houses in Japan where they played non stop jazz records and mostly "hard bop" and that "Cool Struttin" was something like a "trademark", you heard it very very often, "Cool Struttin" and Donaldson´s "Blues Walk".

This is hard bop at it´s best, and who does not love the cover photo

not to mention his own tunes, which often get left by the wayside. I remember a Lacy concert in KC, a fine duo with Danilo Perez, and the interviewer/announcer didn't ask him a single question about his own music or ensembles, poetry, painting, or any of his other interests. I was shocked at the time and still am.

I have this on CD and I agree that Bunky's playing is very nice on this date.

That's a GREAT album, especially the ultimate recorded version of "African Drum Suite", desperately in need of CD release
