Randy Weston, "Blue Moses" CTI Supreme Series Blu-Spec cd from Japan.

This apparently was not a session Randy wanted to make this way (with electric piano) but I've always loved it, for decades on LP and then several cd versions.

Same here.

Always best to go against the artist.

By buying his records (plenty of them), I go against the artist? Didn't know that.

Speaking sarcastically as a producer.

I don't know. I don't mind it.

Johnny Lytle - The Soulful Rebel and People & Love (Real Gone Music; originally Milestone)

This CD is today's (technically, yesterday's) entry on my 70s jazz blog.

The Golden Years of Soviet New Jazz Volume 1

[felser]

[jazzbo]

Right now. . .Philip Bailey's new one, "Love will Find a Way." It's what a friend and I call "stoner jazz" and there definitely is a "quiet storm" pop and R&B acid wash going on at times, but with some nice spacey arrangements and great players. I never quite heard the Marvin Gaye influence on Bailey's singing so strongly before, but that's not a bad thing at all.

Re Harry Edison.

Have both vinyls and like them very much.

On to Stanley Turrentine "Up at Minton's, Vol. 1" this time the Analogue Productions Blue Note SACD version.

Grant Green is playing to impress on this one. . . .

Paul Kogut - Know It?  I Wrote It!

This is a wonderful 2 CD set of Bird as much with Strings as with a jazz combo setting. 

Some of the material was issued on the legendary "Bird is Free" LP from the early 70´s which was very much caught, many hipsters of my generation who were deeply into Free Jazz also listened to this, and everybody was aware that without Bird there wouldn´t be Ornette, Archie Shepp, and all of them.

Dave Burrell - The Jelly Roll Joys (Gazell, 1991)

Half the cuts on this CD are by Jelly Roll.  No post-modern deconstructions of his music here.  (Not that there would be anything wrong with that.)  Burrell's interpretations -- you might even call them "readings" (in the classical music sense) -- of Morton's compositions are straightforward as could be.  The inherent strength of this music shines through brightly.  No special treatments necessary.
