Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch (Blue Note, 1964)

[HutchFan]

Carlos Garnett - Black Love (Muse, 1974)

I love all of the voices on this album, but I wish Dee Dee Bridgewater was on more than just one cut. She brought something extra-special to the table.

It's got a great cover, although I wonder whether I prefer Gardens and Ketchoua by quite a way.

Randy Weston - Berkshire Blues (Freedom, 1977; rec. 1965)

[mikeweil]

Too bad they did not include the tracks from these sessions that were issued on Jimmy Smith's "Any Number Can Win" LP.

Mike Westbrook's Concert Band - Marching Song Vol 1 (Deram, 1969)

My first time with this one, and I find it very impressive.

Andrzej Trzaskowski Quintet - Polish Jazz Vol 4 (PNM, 1965)

I've decided that I'm going to have "A Day of Diz" -- nothing but Gillespie all day long.   

Now spinning:

The first disc captures the band in 1968 and the second disc is from 1962.  As usual, the LRC packaging is shoddy and careless -- but the music is terrific, especially the 1968 set.  

If you want to hear an example of James Moody's flute mastery, give this a listen:

I have a Burrell day, as you can see .....

Pyramids - Lalibela (1973)

Trying this one again, given the heavy retrospective hype Pyramids seems to be receiving from the Spiritual Jazz Inc. Marketing machine. I'm still not convinced.

It's a bit messy but has an atmosphere. Gardens was quite an early purchase for me so it's held dear. 

now on something somewhat different.  I was hoping it would be a bit more noir than it is
