Dyani, Temiz, Feza - Music for Xaba, Volume 2 [Sonet, UK 1980]

reacquainting myself thanks to @Rabshakeh's prompting.  Music that just drips soulfulness. Mind you, how could it not with Johnny Dyani featured so prominently.

Paul Ruys - Lover Come Swing With Me

what catches your attention about this album from 1966 are either her weird shoes or that surprisingly modern shirt, or the name "Han Bennink" - or, at least it was like this for me

Wonderful album indeed. Love that trio.

I feel like Tes Esat, if viewed in the context of Dyani, is one of the bassist/multi-instrumentalist's greatest recordings. When I first heard it decades ago, I was blown away by Gary Windo. At this point, revisiting it recently after hearing a lot of music in between, it's Dyani who steals the show.

I found the disconnect between burning Joe Henderson-ish tenor and facile but sorta emotionally neutral clarinet virtuosity one of the more curious jazz disconnects.

But you know, his music, his life, his choice, and at least he never cheated anybody as far as integrity of facility goes.

oh, this one I think was the first Tristano I ever heard. I must have picked it up in my teen years. I was quite astonished since the title tune sounded almost like Cecil Taylor to me. Then I began to understand, what Miles had stated about free jazz, that the thing was discoverd years before by Tristano. 

There are also two long trio tracks from much later, mid 60´s I think, but it seems that Lennie never had the patience to play the theme. What he does on the faster tune is based on "You Stepped out of a Dream", as I remember.  And if I remember right there is also some live solo tracks from late sixties in Paris, where I think he plays a version of "Darn that Dream"......

Excellent album. His record for Takt/Japanese Columbia is also wonderful.

I've never heard it & unless you have deep pockets, it is not easy to get your hands on a copy of that today, on either LP or CD.

EmArCy / Mercury [Japan] DMJ-5045 -  Two groups rec. 1953 & 1954 Stockholm

a) Art Farmer / Jimmy Cleveland / Ake Persson /Arne Domnerus / Lars Gullin / Bengt Halberg / Simon Brehm /Allan Dawson

b) Ake Persson / Ed Gregory (Sahib Shihab) / Bjarne Nerem /Adian Acea / Joe Benjamin / Roy Haynes

No Info in the liner what Quincy has to do on both session. At least he was on european tour in 1953 with the Lionel Hampton band - probably arranging for the 1953 session?

I think this one was meant to be one and it really sounds like a very, very solid Blue Note date.

I’d say the 60’s is my favorite OP decade. I enjoy these records a lot more than the drumless trio from the ‘50’s and the Pablo stuff from the 70’s. This Exclusively for My Friends series is lovely and MPS delivered some top quality sound. These 5 dollar discs sound like audiophile records.

Jimmy Smith At the Organ, The Incredible Jimmy Smith volume 3. Heavy vinyl NY USA mono pressing with deep grooves and  ears. Split cover with some visible scratches, but plays like a dream. Found yesterday for $7.image.jpeg.ad245ef0d3af042aa362b77ba81062e2.jpeg

Black Renaissance [Harry Whitaker] - Body, Mind and Spirit (Baystate/Luv N' Haight, 1977)

IMO, the hero of this record is Buster Williams.  His bass is often in the foreground, and -- even when it isn't -- Buster's fingerprints are ALL OVER this record.  What an incredible groove and sound!
