I saw the small-group part of a Kenn Cox tribute a few years ago in Detroit.  I couldn't see the whole set because I had to be at another stage, but bassist Ron Brooks still sounded great. I'd like to see him again.

I don't care how good the music may be -- I would simply refuse to have an album cover that ugly in my collection!

because it's always "Saturday Night In The Cosmos" somewhere.

Started the morning with Chad Taylor/Brian Settles and Neil Podgurski - The Daily Biological. Its fantastic and easily a favorite release of this year. 

followed with: 

Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah - Axiom music is excellent but the sound quality has left me a little cold.

Teddi King "Now In Vogue (Plus Miss Teddi King and Round Midnight)" Storyville/Muzak Japan 2 cd set.

I like this material better than her later material. . . .

An album I keep returning to often lately. But I have it with the back cover of the booklet, which is Andy Warhol's cover of Vol.2, as the cover. So with this one:

That one is really nice. I have it as a Japanese miniLP from Bethlehem, I think.

I didn't realise this was the original cover. It is a whole lot more intense than the fantasy oriented CD version.

Continuing a recent Illinois Jacquet kick with:

Illinois Jacquet - The Man I Love (Black & Blue, rec. 1973)
Compiles 9 of the 12 tracks originally released on two Black & Blue LPs: Illinois Jacquet with Wild Bill Davis and Illinois Jacquet with Wild Bill Davis. Vol. 2

Potent stuff!

My favorite Jacquet disc on Black & Blue is the Midnight Slows recording. AFIK it hasn't been on cd. Great ballad album with Hank Jones, George Duvivier and J C Heard.

I haven't heard that Midnight Slows LP.  Looks good!  ... That same quartet -- Jacquet with Hank Jones, Duvivier, and J.C. Heard -- made God Bless My Solo for Black & Blue.  It's excellent too; it's the Jacquet record that I chose for inclusion in my 70s jazz survey.

I've seen Rava once with his Tribe group but never Bollani, who is also brilliant.

Both music and cover art are excellent ....
