Lee Morgan, The Complete Live at the Lighthouse, disc 6

Today, I've been listening to Ellington's mid-60s Reprise recordings:

 

I still enjoy giving these albums a spin every now and then, even though none are top-tier EKE.  Surprisingly (or maybe not), I think Mary Poppins is easily the strongest of the three.  The band digs into the music with gusto, and the arrangements are inventive.

This afternoon

Webert Sicot - Haitian Merengues - Ansonia 1960

 

Al Grey - Last of the big plungers - Argo 1960

 

MJQ - Jazz Dialogue - Atlantic  1966

 

Next

Perez Prado - Mambo Jambo - JVC 1972

(looser band than on his RCA Victor recordings - very nice)

I would grab the other 3 Reprise records first.

Yeah.  I think Afro-Bossa and Concert in the Virgin Islands are the best of them.

I bought the Reprise records as they were issued and have a soft spot for the whole bunch. I was also catching the band "live" at the time as well.
