Earlier this AM:

Donald Byrd - Free Form (Blue Note, rec. 1961)

IMO, Byrd sounds much less simpatico with Shorter than he does with Pepper Adams or Jackie Mac.

 

I'm pleased I'm not the only one.  I'm always disappointed by that album when I play it, ever since I bought it in the 80s. Never seems to hang together in any way and as you say Byrd/Shorter doesn't seem to gel. I played it again a few weeks ago in the hope that I would get a different impression, I didn't.  On the "to offload" list.

Oooh. I would've loved to see that two-tenor show.   

 

There's a recording - no idea if its the exact same group Bill saw.

For once my memory fails me. I have no recollection of the rhythm section, but as the disc Dan mentions is from 5 years before the London gig, it's unlikely to have been the same group.

That's a nice one, John! Time I got back to Bob Florence!

Now playing:

Thanks for the heads-up, Dan.

Mark Weinstein - Latin Jazz Underground (Zoho, 2014)

I’m extremely impressed by this one. Flutes + piano trio (led by Aruan Ortiz, with Gerald Cleaver on drums) plus percussionist playing music with links to Andrew Hill.

Does anyone know anything about Ortiz or Weinstein? They’re new names to me.

When was it recorded ? I heard "Jumpin´Blues" by Dexter only in later years. It is on "American Classic" from 1982 and on the 60´s Birthday from Vanguard 1983.

I have that one too, one of the few Latin Jazz albums in my collection. I know nothing about the two musicians though, sorry. Good album.

Great fan here! He did some radio shows with the HR Radio Bog Band

Keith Jarrett - My Song (ECM, 1978)

[mjazzg]

Marty Paich - The Picasso Of Big Band Jazz

[Rabshakeh]

Albert Ayler - Music Is The Healing Force of the Universe (Impulse!, 1696)

Bobby Few is one of those pianists like John Hicks who you barely notice until the third or fourth listen, but who can single handedly elevate an album.

Not that I was expecting...might not be what anybody's expecting...the general audience response might be, uh, "interesting". But - there's one SEARING Wayne solo on here
