Baden Powell Quartet, Vol. 3 (Barclay FR, 1971)

This LP arrived in the mail yesterday, and I just gave it thorough cleaning on my record cleaning machine.  The music, AQ, and record condition are all TOP-SHELF.  Beautiful.  And the LP only cost me $5 on eBay.  Quite a score! 

I think this band -- with Ernesto Ribeiro Gonçalves (b), Helio Schiavo (d), Alfredo Bessa (perc, vo) and Janine de Waleyne contributing occasional vocals -- is one of the finest supporting groups that Powell ever had. 

Now officially on my "to get" radar: Volumes 1 & 2 from the same December 1970 sessions in Paris.  :g

Still hoping for that official reissue. I wonder why both Pure Pleasure and P-Vine have never touched this one?

 

 

Me too. With Mtume's death and some other organizational complications, it seems to have stalled. But I remain hopeful and have the raw materials at the ready.

What do you mean with raw materials Clifford? You mean you are the owner of the master tapes? 😱

Probably the finest hour of Eddie Palmieri ....

One of his finest hours, for sure. 

But we're spoiled for choice.  He made so many extraordinary albums.

You're right .... and off course (again 😇) a matter of personal preferences ....

Mistletoe Magic - Holiday Jazz Improvisations - Various Artists (Palo Alto). This is such a good Jazz album it's almost unfortunate that it gets called a "Christmas album". Sure, the melodies are all well-trodden Christmas tunes but these artists take them well away from those melodies. A couple of times they even skew outside a tiny bit. If I had one complaint it would be the excessive use of reverb on some tracks/instruments. On the first track, Hino's trumpet sounds horrible. If reverb had a setting, it would've been set to 11 on this one. It sounded like he was playing in an airplane hanger. :)
