Next up:

One of the many reissues (but this is a good compilation from various RCA vinyls  here on the  Bluebird label). Includes the BB Express & and small group recordings (Giants). ---> original vinyls  on RCA  with various coverart & titles  (irritations and duplicates possible ;-]])

Music is excellent 😁 👍

Amalgam - Prayer For Peace [Transition, UK 1969]

This again

[Rabshakeh]

Jamaladeen Tacuma - Show Stopper

"Chosen" by the 8 months old, who has a new walker that puts him within range of the vinyl.

A pity Jamaladeen Tacuma didn`explore further the bass/percussion structure featured on "From The Land Of Sand" ....

Roscoe Mitchell - More Cutouts

On the back of this 1981 record is a reference to the "Leo Smith - Roscoe Mitchell Big Band that toured recently". I didn't know they had a big band at this time. Does anyone know whether it made any recordings? Or is this the group that made the great back to back Moers records Sketches of Bamboo and Bidding of a Rose?

Now spinning:

John Stowell - Golden Delicious (Inner City, 1977)
with:
Trumpet – Claudio Roditi
Piano – Jim McNeely
Bass – Mike Richmond, David Friesen (A2 only)
Drums – Billy Hart

I really like this LP.  It's Stowell's debut.

I remember seeing Stowell play with just bass in a restaurant setting. As shown above, he has that unusual way of holding the guitar, almost like a lutier ( echoes of Julian Bream). The other solo guitarist I saw a number of times in similar settings was Gene Bertoncini. Funnily enough, I'm just listening to him on the Tone Poet LP of Wayne Shorter's 'Odyssey of Iska' - inspired casting.

Inspired casting . . .  and inspired music!  ❤️ 

Odyssey of Iska would likely be my desert-island choice for Wayne Shorter.

 

 

Now listening to some James Moody, prompted by @Rabshakeh (on another thread):

James Moody - Great Day (Argo, 1963)

An excellent collaboration with Tom McIntosh.  Sorta like their version of Miles & Gil Evans -- but a bit smaller in scale.

Another one from James Moody:

Comin' on Strong (Argo/Cadet, 1964)

Pat Thomas - The Solar Model Of Ibn Al-Shatir [OtoRoku, UK 2024]

my compensation for not being able to use my ticket to hear him play Monk this week. This is very good indeed.

Yes. "Baffling" for sure.

I was hoping Elemental would include it in their Xanadu reissue series from a few years ago. But no luck. They chose Cuber Libre instead.

Not bad at all. Easily - but wrongly - dismissed.

At some point, "trappings" are what should be dismissed. Just pay attention to the playing itself.
