duaneiac Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Not just a B. B. King CD -- it's a B. B. King CD on which the band included (not just as "special guests", mind you, but on every track) Marcus Belgrave, Hank Crawford, David "Fathead" Newman, Russell Malone (rhythm guitar), Dr. John (Piano), Neil Larsen (Hammond organ), John Heard (bass) Earl Palmer (!!!) (drums) and Lenny Castro (perc.). I wish a few of the tracks stretched out a little longer and allowed the guys more solo space. Most of the numbers are in the spirit of Louis Jordan records, so they are jukebox friendly lengths, many under 3 minutes. They do stretch things out a bit on blues (no surprise) such as "Early In The Mornin'" and "I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts of Town". Quote

Justin V Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 John Handy Quintet - Live at Yoshi's Nightspot: I've been listening to some Mingus and had forgotten that I have this one. Quote
JSngry Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Posted June 8, 2020 There he is, there he was, there he will always be. He ain't goin nowhere except there. I don't love that about everybody, especially deepening what/where "there" is. But with Jackie McLean, yes, please. There, always. Love. Fire & Love. There. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Joe Farnsworth - Make Someone Happy (Hadley Street Records). Self produced CD by Farnsworth with the band he calls "Joe Farnsworth & Primetime": Trumpet – Jim Rotondi (tracks 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6) Trombone – Curtis Fuller (tracks 1, 2, 3, & 5) Tenor Saxophone – Eric Alexander (tracks 1, 2, 4 & 6) Vibraphone – Steve Nelson (tracks 2, 3, 4 & 5) Piano – Dave Hazeltine Bass – Nat Reeves Drums – Joe Farnsworth Congas – Ray Mantilla (tracks 4 & 6) This is a nice date. The piano sound is a little too much like something RVG would do (love it or hate it). I love Curtis Fuller but he seems to be having some trouble getting through this date. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 A favorite since I first bought it on LP when it was initially issued on the Transition label. Quote
JSngry Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Posted June 8, 2020 hmmm...McPhee has a great sound, but this music...if you want an example of how there was kind of a "void" after Coltrane died and before AACM got more traction/exposure in/to the collective hearing, maybe this will do. Certainly nothing worng with it, and again, McPhee's core power is still here, but as far as "purpose"...that would be forthcoming. Ok, the longer this one plays, the better it gets to me. Quote
