Jaki Byard - On the Spot! (Prestige)

Aptly titled  ....

[Misterioso]

I completely forgot about the CD that came with Isoardi's "The Dark Tree" until it was mentioned here yesterday. Ripped it today and listen to it for the first time in about 10 years.

Vintage Horace Tapscott - as good as it gets ....

As today is rainy, this seemed to be a fitting disc.

Agreed. I also thought the singer on Motherless Child, Dwight Trible, is really good. He has a CD titled "Horace", which I will check out.

Count me a big Trible fan

Trible has a number of releases all well worth hearing if you like his voice. They're all broadly in the "Spiritual Jazz" (a phrase I'm never entirely comfortable with but it acts as useful shorthand) sub-genre. There's one with the Lifeforce Trio which has a more modern (ten years ago) approach to rhythm and beats

I was lucky enough to see him perform at Ronnie Scotts last year where he exceeded my long-held, and probably even unreasonably high, expectations. In person, his voice is a thing of wonder, very powerful

Just picked this up. Sounded damn good in the car. Fine rhythm section -- (Kenny Washington, Peter Washington, Richard Wyands, who just sparkles), RVG sound, and Person and Edwards are in excellent form.

Keith Tippett Octet - The Nine Dances Of Patrick O'Gonogon.

Very good album. I ordered a second copy of this via Discus Music (to gift) after reading the thread about Tippett's health issue.

+1. I didn't expect too much from the CD, being packaged with a book purchased at a discounted price, but was (pleasantly) shocked by how good it is.

My local shop has a copy. I’ll pick up next time I visit, good to know that the proceeds will be directed accordingly.
