Any excuse to get the LP out.  On my copy Brackeen's very front and centre to me; yes Jenny-Clark's prominent too but that's a very good thing in my book.

Yes!!!  For me, Dance is the pinnacle of Motian's work as a leader. 

Read that and thought, really with so much more to come from him as a leader? 

Then I sat back and thought long and hard, maybe just maybe but I'm very very fond of some of the later VV / On Broadway recordings where I think it all cohere's to near perfection for a late-career flourish. And then there's the EBBB...and the trio with Rava and Bollani.  Too many favourites

In this case, it ain't the motion, it's the meat.

And I mean that in a positive way.

Bob Belden: Turandot

SF Jazz Collective "The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim & Original Compositions".. . Listening to disc 1, the Jobim material.

Both discs are great. What I like most about the Jobim disc is how they've taken the Brazil out of most of the arrangements and added other Latin elements and straighter ahead jazz components. I love Jobim in all forms!

[Gheorghe]

The Dizzy Reece album recorded in UK, with Donald Byrd and the great Tubby Hayes. 

Jackie McLean ........the title tune very nice, based on Star Eyes, it´s not done often, but I have it also on record from The Heads of State with Gary Bartz.....

[JSngry]

This is a really good record.

Ruminative.

Now was it? When I had a hard copy I seem to remember mention in the liner notes of a French connection.

Subterfuge in the original liner notes - recorded as per Tempo sessions so presumably at Decca West Hampstead.

I was compiling a Calvin Massey playlist but stopped to listen to this in its entirety.

Mama Rose, by Archie Shepp and a Dutch keyboardist called Jasper van 't Hof, from 1982, on Steeplechase. I don't know much about Shepp's eighties work, but it's a definite departure from his fire music or gospel days in tone.

I've spent the last few hours updating my blog.  Sonny Fortune's Waves of Dreams is today's entry. 

What a great album!

Great for kicking back and reading on a Sunday afternoon.  Great song selections on this ("Jordu", "Cubano Chant", "Daahoud" are all favorites of the era for me).  Recorded 1960.  Excellent sound quality, which is true of this whole series.
