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

Just listened to "Little Fox Run." The way Fred sweeps in, and Steve McCall is a force of nature.

I never thought others might have this . I bought it 1979 at a Jazz Festival (Velden) and they had a bus transformed in a kind of "record shop" with the strangest and most obscure records I ever saw. I think the label was a totally obscure one. Never heard of it. The whole thing looked like some bootleg. But the music was great, especially Beaver Harris was one of the greatest, but underrated drummers. I think, this was a kind of transition period for Shepp: Years before he would not play a swing rhythm like he does here I think on "Blues for Donald Duck". But 2 or 3 years later he became even more conservative and played standards just with a regular quartet.

I had a similar reaction in the old ‘Recommended Records’ in Earls Court, London. Went in once, didn’t buy anything and never went back. Unbenownest to me, somewhere in that shop, they stocked Sun Ra Saturn direct from the horse’s mouth. 

That was definitely the strangest vinyl shop I ever went in.  Totally out of kilter with the rest, at that time. Zero bop content that I could see.
