Charles Brackeen with Charlie Haden, Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell.

This was one of my favourite records when I was a teenie. I had it on tape, since the LP was so rare and a guy I knew had a lotta stuff from that style, I first heard this, and Don Cherry´s "Complete Communion", had them both on a 90 minutes cassette .

Also the other LP you showed us: "Jackie McLean - One Step Beyond". 

The guy who let me listen to it and tape it on cassette was no one less than the great late Fritz Novotny, the founder and leader of the first Austrian Free Jazz/Avantgarde formation "Reform Art Unit" ("RAU") . 

It was so wonderful times, guys who just lived that music, and my strong connections to Free Jazz, a style that still was very fresh when I started to listen to jazz. Electric was brandnew, and still a lot of acoustic Free Jazz. Wonderful times and so much to learn . I couldn´t else than absorb all that stuff.....

Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch (Blue Note/Music Matters). I should have sold these Music Matters LPs when the prices were still insanely high.

Such a great record, and Eric Dolphy was the first alto saxophonist the really impressed me when I heard him on record in my early teens.

Harold Land Quintet 'The Peacemaker' (Cadet/Third Man)

Nicely presented reissue and sounding pretty good. Certainly beats those All-Platinum paper cover thin vinyl reissues of this which were (very) occasionally seen in the racks back in the day.

I even quite like the Donald Bailey harmonica on side 1, track 2.

Booker Ervin - That's It! (Candid/Barnaby). I'd only ever seen this Barnaby version on LP and one time I got to chatting with Jack at Stereo Jack's where he assured me the audio was very good. He was right. It just looks like some kind of bootleg or grey market release but it does sound fine. Crazy story on the Barnaby label. Born out of one pop star's desire to buy his back catalog. Thanks Andy Williams.

If you have a copy of the 33 rpm Music Matters LP of Morgan's "Search For The New Land", I'll swap you straight up.

It's one of the few (only?) Music Matters LPs I didn't get that I regret today.

Didn't do the 33s but I have a set of the 45s. Have a good mono orig of 'Search' so happy to stick with that.

Just finished during a workout - Lou Donaldson - Alligator Boogaloo, from the Classic Vinyl release. Sounds nice but it's still not my favorite Donaldson from that era. It's pretty short too.

Now playing - Van Morrison - Loondance... I mean Moondance. It's easy to get those two words mixed up when it comes to Van.

I've got quite a number of those Barnabys which I bought from the deletions rack at Mole Jazz many years ago. You are correct, the vinyl looks naff but they sound pretty good. I have the Don Ellis and Richard Williams as well as the Mingus with Curson.

🤣 Absolutely, especially these days.

Still love all his early-mid period though, before it got a bit cantankerous

Charles Mingus, Mingus Takes Manhattan (New Land). I had a bootleg CD of this material in poor quality sound. I always wondered why Mingus broadcasts in the early 1960s sounded worse than Bird broadcasts from the late 1940s. This release transforms the material with a substantial sonic upgrade, making it highly enjoyable as music and a valuable addition to Mingus's official albums from this era. Glad I bought it, despite the high price.
