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

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.

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

Sound is very nice.

Discogs comments saying this reissue is a needle drop - is that what you're hearing?

No.

Roots' Stablemates (1993)

A pretty good record, but not what it could have been. Too much talent is a dangerous thing.

 

Now on:

Koichi Matsukaze Trio & Toshiyuki Daitoku - Earth Mother (ALM, 1978).

This is a new one to me, that I discovered from NTS radio's recent Japanese spiritual jazz episode. Enjoyable stuff.

Whether it is really "spiritual jazz" is another thing altogether. 😉

What a great record. Why hadn't I listened to it in so long?

Eternal Wind - S/T (Flying Fish, 1984)

Fascinating music from a band led by Detroit trumpeter Charles Moore and Chicago percussionist Adam Rudolph.  ...There's been some recent discussion on the board about the sub-genre "spiritual jazz" (another problematic term, but whatever).  If you think that sub-genre went dormant in the 1980s, give this a listen.  With the players involved, I suppose it's not surprising that this music sounds like something that could've been released on Strata or Tribe or Strata-East during the heyday of "spiritual jazz" -- if only slightly updated for the 1980s.

I dig it.

Archie Shepp "Live in San Francisco" SHM-CD 2021

I had thought I had ordered this one earlier but I had missed placing it in an order. I corrected that and it arrived with other cds from Japan yesterday. Sounds great.
