Wildflowers, Vol. 5 (Casablanca, 1977)

A real gem of Roscoe Mitchell on the second side of this one. Jerome Cooper and Don Moye in tow on percussion, traps and saw.

Started today with:

Third time trying to get through this one. Kept going back thinking there was something I was missing or just not picking up. Playing is nice enough but the pace is glacial - which is fine, I mean I dig Tord Gustavsen...but there's a decent amount of schmaltz I'm hearing on this and it's just not my thing.

Time to play something from the Birthday Boy!

This is the fourth volume of a great series of discs from Storyville featuring great-sounding live appearances from the All Stars in Scandinavia. I think I like this volume best but all four are dynamite.

"Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, Vol. 4"

Nothing quite like feeling you are being made to do homework. 

I am currently enjoying:

Dob Pullen and the African Brazilian Connection's Kele Mou Bana.

Just finished:

Lee Konitz' and Peggy Stern's The Jobim Collection on Philology.

Art Farmer Quartet - Sing Me Softly of the Blues (Atlantic, 1965)

That rhythm section of Steve Kuhn, Steve Swallow and Pete La Roca was one of the most magical from the 1960s.
