Great music, not so great sound on this CD. But good enough

Fataka was a good label but I haven't heard that one

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.

Caught that band live at the Jazz Showcase. It was magical indeed.

[HutchFan]

Prompted by hardbopjazz's Lou Rawls thread:

Some sizzling "Groove" Holmes accompaniment on this one.  Only four cuts.  But still...

My favourite Mingus! 

 

Now playing:

A reassuringly mid 20th century album cover.

Jaki Byard and the Apollo Stompers, Phantasies (Soul Note)

[jazzbo]

Louis Armstrong and the All-Stars, "Satchmo 1950" Universal Japan UHQCD, 2021.

Same music as the April 1950 material on the very first Armstrong Mosaic set. Sure sounds good on this disc.

Teagarden, Bigard, Hines. . . this is one heavy-hitting group of All-Stars.

Ravi Coltrane and Sonny Fortune on the horns. The 32+ minute version of Doll of the Bride is fantastic. 

[jazzbo]

Jose James "New York 2020 Live" disc 1 of 2

Nice sound . . . live at Levon Helm Studio.

K Curtis Lyle / Julius Hemphill - The Collected Poem For Blind Lemon Lemon Jefferson

I put this on in the background whilst I was working. I really have no idea what I was thinking! 50 minutes of achievement, but no work done.

Kenny Burrell "Asphalt Canyon Suite" Verve/Universal Japan SHM-CD 

This album keeps climbing high in my esteem. And the engineering is just right, as is the mastering on this new cd from Japan.
 

Now listening to this one again, the US cd this time.

This fascinates me. This is truly spiritual music. The organ and organ pedal sounds she produces are wonderful.

Alice Coltrane "Kirtan--Turiya Sings" Impulse cd.
