It´s a great record ! Too bad that Leo Parker didn´t live longer, I think this was his last album.

Now spinning:

Count Basie - Paradise Squat (Verve, 2 LPs)

Basie always brings a smile to my face.

It isn't part of the series. It is the preceding album. 

I rate it really highly. It's one of his best.

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Biosystem [Incus, UK 1977]

Today's arrival. Fascinating, will take some absorbing.

[HutchFan]

Now spinning:

Roy Eldridge - Dale's Wail (Verve, 1978, 2 LPs)

These 1952-54 sides are sooooooo good.  And not because of the instrumental pyrotechnics that Eldridge often brought to the table earlier in his career.  This music is all about the feeling, all about the vibe -- a subtler form of mastery.

I only got this album earlier this year, and it's quickly become an all-time favorite.

@mjazzg (or others),

I'm totally unfamiliar with the music of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble.  Would Biosystem be a good "diving in" point?  Or would you recommend starting with another album?

[clifford_thornton]

I would start with Challenge or Karyobin, or maybe Oliv & Familie Sequence. Bobby Bradford with John Stevens and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (a 2CD set released by Nessa), is another excellent example. Biosystem is superb but my feeling is that those recordings still somewhat tethered to a jazz or "free jazz" feel might be a better place to start with the sound world of John Stevens and company.

Thank you, @clifford_thornton.
