that's all I know as well -- would love to learn more. Shoulda asked Nels the last time I saw him.

Spinning this again:

Max Roach / Art Blakey - Percussion Discussion (Chess)

Now listening to sides 1 and 2, originally issued as Art Blakey's Tough! (Cadet 4049), as shown below: 

Recorded in '57 but not released until '66. 

McLean is clearly the dominant voice.  It's always great to hear Jackie -- even if he's a few years from his phenomenal run in the 1960s.

Italian compilation of Rushing's Columbia sides.  Pulled this from the dollar bin a few weeks back.

Curtis Counce - You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce (Analogue Productions 33 rpm). This is a nice, swinging date that I've always liked. This Analogue Productions LP sounds incredible. Butler's drums sound particularly crisp. They really did a nice job with the tapes.

Creative Construction Company - Muhal on Vedette

Milford Graves - Percussion Ensemble.

Easily my favourite solo percussion album from before the later 70s. 

Sonny's Time Now - Sunny Murray

A great first side: one of the best Ayler records out there, albeit it's under Sunny's name. I've never been all that happy with the second side. 

Clifford Jordan - In The World.

This is one of my favourite straight ahead dates (if you can call it that) from the 70s. It has a real epic quality to it, with great compositions and good solos from a cracking group of musicians. In hindsight it seems crazy the sort of star quality that could be called upon at the time for a record that I believe sunk more or less without a trace commercially.

Sadly, I don't have the original sleeve but instead a rather dopey Polydor version.

Motion by Lee Konitz. 

This is certainly one that I prefer in the original vinyl mix, where Lee and Sonny Dallas are right up front.  The digital versions correct that and bring the drums forward, but at the same time makes it harder to follow. Konitz is beautiful throughout, and I love Elvin on "All of Me" in particular.
