😍Art Davis😍 ....

[Teasing the Korean]

Various - American Popular Song (Smithsonian/CSP)

Sides 3 and 4.  

This is it.  I started with sides 1 and 2, and then went to sides 13 and 14, and worked my way backwards. 

[Teasing the Korean]

Don Elliott & Rusty Dedrick - Counterpoint for Six Valves (Riverside, mono)

"Featuring the modern jazz compositions of Dick Hyman."

My parents were in the biz and they frequently worked with Don Elliott.

Rusty Dedrick is the Uncle of The Free Design.

My copy of this LP was previously owned by Saul "Sandy" Feldstein of Freeport, NY, who was a percussionist.

The house Sandy lived in was built in 1953, but judging from Zillow, someone tried to turn it into a McMansion.  How sad.

[Teasing the Korean]

Luiz Henrique & Walter Wanderley - Popcorn (Verve, stereo)

Not the amazing Hot Butter Moog hit, unfortunately, but it is a good record nonetheless.

[Teasing the Korean]

Claude Denjean - Open Circuit (Decca/London Phase 4 stereo)

Featuring "Kiss This."

The strange thing is that when I was at the jazz festival Wiesen in 1983 the Timeless All Stars were scheduled and to my astonishment and delightment it was Jackie McLean, Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins. One of the best bands of acoustic jazz I ever heard. So it was "only" Hutch and Higgins from the "All Stars". Of course I heard the others separately, those artists were touring Europe pretty much in that period. Heard Harold Land with Diz the same year in autumn too. I saw also Max Roach very often, he was one of my first idols on drums and on music in general.

I saw the Timeless All Stars in 1987 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was the same band as on the recordings, and the only time I got to see Harold Land in concert.

Now spinning:

Laurindo Almeida, Salli Terri, and Others - Duets with the Spanish Guitar, Album 2 (Angel, 1971)

I'm jealous of you guys.   

I saw Hutcherson a few times, but I never had an opportunity to see the Timeless All Stars.

Thanks Clifford for the info. So unfair to Tootie lots of those tried to sell it under Hancocks name for more money. Makes me think of Pete La Rocas Woman at a Turkish Bath sold under Chick Coreas name.

yep, Hancock or Don Cherry's name. But it was Tootie's session, Mtume's compositions (mostly), and the music can be heard pretty easily even if the story takes a bit of research.

The other notables for that weekend were a version of George Wein's Newport All Stars which featured Buddy Tate and Norris Turney (a rare opportunity to hear an Ellingtonian hero live) and a trip to Snug Harbor for Mose Allison.

On the other hand, I made the "wrong" choice in selecting the Donald Harrison/Terence Blanchard in the Jazz Tent (the band was good but...) over Jay McShann (at the same time in Economy Hall), who I never had another opportunity to see.

Even though you missed McShann, that sounds like AMAZING year at Jazzfest.

Bought in a moment of high spirits whilst on holiday in Italy last week. I'm going to listen a few more times but not that wow-ed by it to tell the truth.
