Drug music, make no mistake.

How is it?

The Laws is... not bad. Production is marred by a few MOR artifacts, but, overall, a very fine showing from Ronnie and his band.

[JSngry]

Fits on one CD with the other one.

The inquiring mind wants to know....what else is there still extant?

It's a groove listening to Paul Bley comp behind Ornette...and then to go to the Floater session.

This reminded me that my favorite playing by Wayne Shorter was when he was with Art Blakey. His solo on "Tell It Like It Is", is a delight.

Beautiful indeed ....

I believe Paul lost most of his tapes in a fire.

It was time for some T.

Jack Teagarden "Big 'T's Dixieland Band" Capitol mono LP

 

I'm listening to the Fuller Mosaic set right now, but T is always a great choice!

damn.

he had a bunch of video too, iirc, one of the early jazz-to-vhs proponents, right?

that's a terrible loss, horrible, actually.

One hopes that there is a repository of 2nd-generation copies of pieces still remaining.

With legal rights and stuff being what they are, the Anderluzzionans could do far worse than to combine these two Hillcrest LPs into one disc. they seem to not give a damn about that no matter what, so here, go do this then.

Then again, I done did my own, so...

Nice selection of Tjader's Verve material chosen by Eddie Palmieri.

Excellent!  Cream skimmed from the top of ON's Mosaic set.

 

[Rabshakeh]

Masayuki Takayanagi - Free Form Suite (TBM, rec. 1972).

Now moved in to Leroy Jenkins' The Legend of Ai Glatson (Black Saint, 1978).

I reckon this might be the purest jazz violin (jazz fiddle?) record out there. I can think of lots of great jazz records with prominent violin solos or even lead violinist / composers (Billy Bang!), but it's hard to think of one where the pure improvisatory potential of a instrument is as central as on this record.

w/Joe Bonner, Bruno Carr, & Ken Walker on the bass. A spirited outing!

[jazzbo]

One of my favorite recordings, trying out the new OS Sunlight in my DSD DAC.

Morelenbaum²/Sakamoto "A Day in New York" Sony Classical cd

[Dub Modal]

Disc 2 of the Larry Young ORTF set. The last track is a trio setting with Young on piano and I noticed some Monk influence in his playing, which made me reach for:

Now playing Disc 2 of this.

Prompted by Rooster's revival of the thread about Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments":

Mark Murphy - Stolen... And Other Moments (32 Jazz/Muse)

I wish 32 Jazz would've reissued Murphy's albums complete, rather than chopping up the records and reissuing the tunes in a series of compilations.

That said, as far as comps go, this ain't bad. 

 

[jazzbo]

Chick Corea "Circulus" Universal Japan SHM-CD reissue of a Blue Note reissue 2 LP.

Sound is very nice.
