Kenny Burrell 'Freedom' (King BN GXK)

This is one of those albums I've been looking for, but it always seems too expensive. Worth the top dollar?

Yes, I think so. A nice, laid back session with some strong Turrentine. Not unlike 'Midnight Blue', also with Ray Barretto.

If it hasn't already come out on CD, Blue Note should really think about reissuing it I think (paging Mr Cuscuna..... )

Anthony Braxton For Trio Arista - in preparation for the Mosaic (possibly) this is hardly what I'd call accessible material,......... how will the Mosaic cope with try to emulating the weird diagrams offered on the original cover , insert etc. Perhaps Braxton's muse will be more easily assimilated without all that........

A lot of the early works have since been given simpler alpha-numeric or numeric titles.

I used to use Braxton's tune titles as help with my organic chemistry homework.

Baby Face Willette: Stop and Listen (BN - "Wally")

Listening to this one, I started wondering why Baby Face never made it. Too subtle for the average organ fan? Bad timing - too much competition with other organists? Lifestyle problems?

[paul secor]

To Hear the World in a Grain of Sand - Live at the Donaueschingen Festival

[sidewinder]

Art Blakey 'The African Beat' (BN NY USA stereo)

[Daniel A]

Victor Feldman 'Soviet Jazz Themes' (Ava Records, mono, 1963)

Nice group with Carmell Jones and Harold Land, among others.

[Daniel A]

Victor Feldman 'Your Smile' (Choice Records, 1974)

A somewhat uneven but occasionally beatiful affair, with Tom Scott in atypically jazzy form.

[paul secor]

David Murray: Interboogieology

[kh1958]

Al Viola--Guitar Lament (World Pacific)

Bobby Timmons--Chicken and Dumplins (Prestige, green label)

??????????????????? What's it like?

[six string]

Thelonius Himself (Milestone) Japanese pressing

[Teasing the Korean]

The Great Kenyon Hopkins - The Hustler OST - Kapp (stereo)

A criminally - pardon the pun - hard to find album.

[Daniel A]

Victor Feldman 'Soviet Jazz Themes' (Ava Records, mono, 1963)

Nice group with Carmell Jones and Harold Land, among others.

??????????????????? What's it like?

I got this today and has so far only listened to it once. The unfamiliar themes are a great plus. While they are not particularly challenging or otherwise exceptional, they are fun to hear because you can be sure you haven't heard them before. And maybe there's just a slight east European tinge to some of them. Harold Land has one or two strong solos, Feldman is predictably fine on vibes. Zawinul (who plays piano on three tracks) sounds faceless and not too interesting. Solid support from Frank Butler.

To sum it up; the album's a bit uneven, but there are a couple of tracks I probably wouldn't want to be without. The sound is slightly bass-shy but otherwise of surprisingly good fidelity.
