Just listened to the Abdul-Malik track from 'Live in Rio' which is the only one I could find online, predictably marvellous. The Discogs entry for the album is confusing as to who plays with whom.  Am I correct in thinking it's a different band for each track?

Yes, except the rhythm section is the same throughout: Ronnie Ball, Ben Tucker, David (?) Bailey (Donald Bailey?).

Aside from the fantastic Abdul-Malik featured track: Red Door has Zims and Cohn; Lover Man features Herbie Mann; It's All Right with Me features Curtis Fuller; Autumn Leaves features Kenny Dorham, and Wee Dot has Mann, Dorham, Fuller and Sims.

The Vogue LP I have appears to be a German pressing. The Notes say it is originally recorded by Roulette.

Thanks for explaining it all.  I'm almost tempted just for the Abdul-Malik track alone

I know this splits opinion, especially amongst the Jazz cognoscenti, but it works for me every time. Definitely not a Jazz album though.

Works for me too!!

Gato Barbieri - Apasionado (Doctor Jazz, 1983)

This isn't one of Gato's best LPs -- but I still dig it.

That track is wonderful, but in addition, Kenny Dorham and Curtis Fuller are also in top form in their features.

Thanks again.  I've found a UK copy of the same edition as yours, I'll probably order that one

Now LP.3 'Back To The Tracks', having been through 'True Blue' LP.2.  So far the seller's grade of NM is standing up, fingers crossed that continues.

Got a sudden yen for some Dizzy in a big band context. 

So I went to the shelves and pulled:

PJ-93 (mono)

 

Up next:

LS 86022 (stereo)

Coincidentally, both LPs were released in 1965.

And both records are wonderful, IMO.

That ‘New Continent’ is underrated - and in great sound. My Japanese King reissue came from the esteemed Hiroshi.

Bought that one when it came out on MPS BASF in the UK. Mid-70s, some years after the recording. Fine concert !

Next up:

Duke Ellington - Togo Brava Suite (United Artists, 1972)
I love this record.  The end may have been near, but -- on this particular day -- Duke and his band were still FLYING.
