Milt Jackson & Ray Charles--Soul Brothers (Atlantic 1279)

George Adams and Don Pullen--All That Funk (Italian Palcoscenico)

This live album is the shit. Don Pullen makes Cecil Taylor seem like a slowpoke.

Those Adams/Pullen titles surprise me. Have I missed something? I know both musicians worked in the Soul Jazz area earlier in their careers, but thought that they were making stuff that verged from Hard Bop to Avant when they got together.

All That Funk and More Funk are live recordings in the same style as their Timeless, Horo, Blue Note and Soul Note recordings.

I'd say it's pretty hard to put those recordings into a strict category. I wouldn't consider it experimental, but they definitely explore a bit. That being said, some of those tunes, though, are just really soulful blues, even with vocals. I think you'd definitely enjoy, MG!

I read somewhere recently that jazz-loving Conservative politician Kenneth Clarke broke the "rules" for Desert Island Discs by failing to include any classical pieces. In fact, complained the critic, he limited his choice solely to tenor saxophonists! I heard the programme and remember him enthusing about Adams and Pullen, whom I think he'd heard at Ronnie's.

Art Blakey--The African Beat (Blue Note, NY USA mono). An abused copy, but crank it up to 11 and it still sounds pretty darn great.

Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing, But Not for Me (Argo)--It seems miraculous to find a 50 year old record that looks virtually new and appears to have never been played, but I found this copy today.
