HutchFan Posted January 1, 2019 Report Posted January 1, 2019 Sonny Stitt Quartet featuring Jimmy Jones - The Sonny Side of Stitt (Fresh Sound, 2 CDs) Now streaming selected cuts via Amazon Prime. This set collects four LPs originally released on Roost. I've been on a Stitt kick lately. Feel like I've sort of "broke through" with him. In the past, I'd never given much thought to Stitt one way or the other. Wasn't a fan, wasn't not a fan. Now, I'm definitely a fan. ...I also discovered that I like Stitt's music best when he's NOT playing super-fast, boppish lines. Plus, I'd rather hear him play tenor rather than alto. Anyhow, it's fun to discover someone "new" when they've been sitting under your nose in plain sight for forever. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 1, 2019 Report Posted January 1, 2019 Allman Brothers Band - Live From A&R Studios, New York, August 26, 1971 (ABB). A fine performance; very well recorded. Ornette Coleman/Joachim Kuhn - Colors (Verve). Haven't listened to this one in I don't know when - fascinating music. Quote

I'm not sure if you've already sampled it by now, but I think very good to excellent big band meets (some) free improv. Longer tracks are the best, imo others are a little short. Some very good solos throughout. Some wordless singing by Norma Winstone throughout (gorgeous) and sings "proper" on the last track. Album definitely works for me! Unfortunate that it seems unknown, I had a cassette dub back in the 90s and put off buying an LP copy as there seemed to be plenty around. I know it was talked about quite a bit down here. Anyway, I jumped on the CD when it was released. At least that's still available. No doubt you seen it but I'll post the discogs link anyway. Check out that line-up!! Ignore that selling price, much cheaper elsewhere. https://www.discogs.com/Kenny-Wheeler-Song-For-Someone/release/2312288 Edit: I can't find it on youtube, etc. Have you been able to sample this?
