Yeah, maybe on a different day mine would be too...but we do share the sentiment that In Memory Of is the 2nd best no matter how you slice it (still a good/great album IMO). Surprised it sat on the shelf, but business is business. Quote
HutchFan Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I used to think the two Strata East volumes from Slugs were better than this stuff. ...Now, I'm not so sure. Hard to choose between them because they're both REALLY good. Tolliver with Cowell, McBee, and Hopps. Yes! Tolliver with Hicks, Workman, and Queen. Yes! Edited June 3, 2021 by HutchFan Quote

cds23 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I thought I'd start with a post of detailed pictures I've done of one of my favourite records: CALVIN KEYS | SHAWN_NEEQ | BLACK JAZZ | 1971 | US FIRST STEREO PRESSING BJ_5 LP "Shawn-Neeq" is Calvin Keys' debut album and, in my humble opinion, the best album from Black Jazz Records (and then some). It stands out for featuring Owen Marshall, a somewhat obscure but immensely talented musician who released a single album under his own name, "Captain Puff In The Naked Truth" (which is majestic by the way, still trying to get a a copy), on flute and his unique "hose-a-phone". The opener "B.E." and "Gee-Gee" are somewhat reminiscent, at least to me, of Lloyd McNeill's sound on "Washington Suite" (posted pictures of that one last week), maybe a tad more post-boppy but just as funky and groove-oriented. The closer "B.K." must the coolest track in Jazz history (okay, I may be pushing it a bit far, but I really do love this tune), the visceral punch of the drum kit and the electronics are just mind-boggling. I haven't written a single word about Keys's guitar playing, so (in layman words) I will put it like this: his technique is, as far as I am allowed to judge, impeccable, though it certainly won't let your jaw drop like when listening to Wes Montgomery. But, and that is most important to me, he has tremendous ideas and he executes without fault. Quote

Turrentine playes with a lot of heart. After that 'tine mini-marathon I moved to: Only my second or third time listening to this recent purchase and I'm floored. If I heard this on a BFT I sure wouldn't guess it was a mid-60s Blue Note date. The deconstruction of a kind of calypso beat on Illusion was badass but then these guys go into Hope where Hill switches to harpsichord while Walter Booker arcos - it's crazy good. I'm thinking this may lead to a mini Andrew Hill marathon... 18 minutes ago, cds23 said: Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I thought I'd start with a post of detailed pictures I've done of one of my favourite records: CALVIN KEYS | SHAWN_NEEQ | BLACK JAZZ | 1971 | US FIRST STEREO PRESSING BJ_5 LP "Shawn-Neeq" is Calvin Keys' debut album and, in my humble opinion, the best album from Black Jazz Records (and then some).

Dub Modal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 @HutchFan I'm kind of going back and forth between the Hill and that Common Touch album. It's good. I'd say Living Through It All and Lonely Avenue are highlights. Quote
Dub Modal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 And now, as stated, moving to Dance with Death Quote
Peter Friedman Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Disc 3 - featuring James P. Johnson, Edmond Hall, Sidney De Paris, Art Hodes, Sidney Bechet, Wild Bill Davison, Max Kaminsky, Joe Sullivan, Vic Dickenson Quote
Dub Modal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 More Hill. So different from the other albums I listened to. Idris on drums, Jimmy Ponder on guitar (who also appear on Turrentine's Common Touch, so there's some intersection between these sessions I didn't expect). Quote
