I have and really enjoy 'Cool Jojo', is there anything else like that in his discography?

yeah, some of Lonely Woman gets into the Bauer zone, and it's certainly present on his earlier straight-ahead albums (although his phrasing to me seems a bit less pronounced/didactic on those). I also assume that this approach crops up in spots on later Takayanagi CD-Rs though some of those I have not heard.

Just finished - Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet - Live (Columbia UK/Jazzman). I assume they told the live audience that this was being recorded and to hold your (polite) applause until the end of the tune or else this live audience doesn't sound very into the music.

Now playing Kenny Dorham - Kenny Dorham Memorial Album (Xanadu).

It was a specially invited audience at Lansdowne Studios, sort of a mini party put on by producer Denis Preston. One or two celebs present e.g. actor John Le Mesurier.

That studio space is now someone's posh kitchen !

I think you can hear Alf Garnett actor Warren Mitchell at some points in this recording.

Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge, The Trumpet Kings (Clef)

Ronnie Lang, Modern Jazz (Tops)

 

That Ronnie Lang record is v good. Fluent West Coast alto at its finest. Great sleeve, I couldn’t resist buying that years back in a great record shop in Santa Cruz. The pre eBay years when you could pick up stuff pretty cheap.

It is a solid West Coast jazz date. I convinced myself to buy it (a $5 investment) because of the familiar sidemen, Marty Paich, Dave Pell,  and Bob Enevoldsen

That makes it sound particularly intriguing 

Interesting I haven't heard Tristano in Masayuki's sound ...only the that of an angle grinder.  Kidding aside his music on "Tread on sure Ground" is very fine. Cinedelic Italy have reissued this on vinyl (Juno, Soundohm etc). Pressing is excellent IMO and way way better than I was expecting. Cool JoJo sounds positively mainstream from the clips I've heard by comparison. 

[Pim]

were there any represses without the wobbling piano or am I deaf? Cause I don’t hear it on my LP…

'Cool JoJo' is mainstream, straight ahead and rather marvellous

No wobble on mine either

[Pim]

so what’s better than a Mal Waldron Quartet? A super quartet! This one’s among their best: Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy playing with a killer rhythm section with Reggie Workman on bass and Eddie Moore on drums. Cheapest copy is 12 euros in Discogs. Sometimes happiness is cheap!

Let us know what you think!

Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet - Dusk Fire (Columbia-UK/Jazzman). Last one from the box. I like this one the best. Don't know why but I definitely felt myself listening a lot harder to this one.

It is widely regarded as their finest and most mature recording, overall. A key reason I think is that by then, Michael Garrick had hit his compositional stride.

The cover photo is wonderful too.

Great sounding LP, very quiet pressing. I actually loved it. I have definitely never heard the Third Streamish version of All the Things You Are before (Mingus calls it simply All in the intro) It is not another version of All the Things You Could Be By Now If... Comparing (without listening)  the listed times on the Reincarnation CD issue, the Mosaic LP issue and the New LP:

Bugs 

Incarnations: 8:28

Mosaic: 8:26

R&R

Incarnations: 11:51

Reincarnation CD (Take 1):  11:55

Mosaic: 11:48

All: 

Incarnations: 4:51

Reincarnation of a Lovebird

Incarnations (Second version): 7:02

Reincarnation CD (Take 1):  7:02

Mosaic: 6:56

Body and Soul

Incarnations: 10:49

Reincarnation (Take 2): 13:56

Mosaic: 13:46
