Ah, the stage of the old Fairfield Hall, Croydon. Fond memories of that place.

Giving this another spin:

This LP is more slick & commercial than the other Irakere records I've heard. 

But I really dig it! It's infectious, irresistible music -- even if the "jazz quotient" is lower.

NP:

Listening to Side 1 (Gigi Gryce with Duke Jordan) and Side 4 (Gigi Gryce with Thelonious).

Frank Capp / Nat Pierce - Juggernaut (Concord, 1977)

It's a bit disconcerting (pun intended) how much these guys sound like the Basie band. They may as well have been a "tribute band" -- but Basie & his band were still doing their thing in 1977. Tribute acts usually come after the original no longer exists. Not here though.

Hank Crawford - Roadhouse Symphony (MIlestone, 1985)

The LP cover art practically screams "It's the 1980s!" -- but the music is timeless.

Jean-Luc Ponty Experience - Open Strings (MPS/PAUSA, rec. 1971)

with a powerhouse Euro/American band: Philip Catherine (g); Joachim Kühn (p); Peter Warren (b); and Oliver Johnson (d).
