Coincidentally, I have that LP queued up for listening later tonight.  It's one of the albums in my 80s jazz survey/blog -- but I didn't include any commentary when I posted it.  (Too tired. Running behind at work. Blah, blah, blah.)

So I need to listen again for inspiration before writing up my impressions. 

Any insights that you'd like to offer?  I'd be happy to quote you.

It was only my first listen, inspired by a mix of your blog and the recent discussion of mainstream swing. I need to listen to it more, because it's absolutely great. Impressive that it doesn't get samey at all; there's so much to listen for. Obviously, Ed Bickert is a treat, but the little subtle twists in the tenor playing are great too.

Gato Barbieri - Under Fire (Flying Dutchman, 1973)

[Rabshakeh]

Maria Dunietz - Free The Dolphin (2021)

[Rabshakeh]

Hubert Laws - The Rite of Spring (CTI, 1971)

I was in the mood for the lushest music I could think of.

Louis Hayes, Return of the Jazz Communicators (Smoke Sessions)

[Rabshakeh]

Jason Moran - All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller (Blue Note, 2014)

My first listen. Slightly hokey at points but overall pretty successful at mixing old and new, I think. Crucially, good solos.

Talkin' John Scofield on another thread, so I pulled out this:

I think this album is terrific.
