Miles: The New Miles Davis Quintet (Prestige)

Mary Lou Williams - Zoning (Smithsonian Folkways)

John Coltrane - Black Pearls (Prestige)

John Coltrane - Traneing In (Prestige)

The Miles and Trane albums I excerpted from the Prestige box sets. I hadn't spun the Miles for a long time; I've neglected it in favor of what came later. But It's gorgeous. I also don't listen to Coltrane's Prestige recordings that often, but I'm enjoying reacquainting myself with this stuff.

As for the Mary Lou album - she has such a long and varied career that this might a dangerous thing to say, but I think that Zoning is her masterpiece.

Because there is no such thing as a bad Jaws record. I will listen to Lockjaw play anything, anywhere, any time. I would not kill a loved one to defend Lockjaw's honor, but I don't have all that many loved ones, so you've been warned.

Hell yeah, Lockjaw Davis.

Von Freeman - Ed Petersen; Von & Ed (Delmark)

[jeffcrom]

 

Jimmy Scott - The Source (Label M). 2000 reissue of a 1970 Atlantic album that was in print for about a minute before a lawsuit by Savoy took it off the market, if I've got the story straight.

I remember this record, it was done in Vienna. And to mention: Karl Ratzer is just fantastic ! Some years before this record was made, Eddie Lockjaw Davis was so nice to sign for me a record that I had brought to be signed: It was the 1974 Jaws with the Tommy Flanagan Trio

Classic 70`s soul album ....

I've always felt this one is better than the companion CD "Anniversary."

Probably some tracks are stronger, but good to have both releases on offer .....

Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra  - The Carnegie Hall V-Disc Session April 1944 (Hep)

Cecil Taylor Poschiavo (Black Sun)

 

Cecil Taylor Indent (Black Sun)

The second is a reissue of the Freedom album, remastered from the original tapes by Black Sun. A similar reissue of Silent Tongues is forthcoming. See here: Cecil Taylor 

This reissue is definitely an improvement over the old Freedom CD (FCD 41038) from the 90s.
