If you're gonna listen to one, why not two...

[JSngry]

A friend gave me this, and I thought it was a CD. It's not, it's an MP3 disc, and it's taken be three days to get through it all! And TOTALLY worth it!

Active Ingredients (Chad Taylor, Jemeel Moondoc, Tom Abbs, Steve Swell, Rob Mazurek, David Boykin, Avreeayl Ra) – Titration (Delmark, 2003)

A very good one, which I somehow missed when it came out.

Chad Taylor is really incredible here.

Yes, a good one. I've never been disappointed by Taylor on record or live. Guaranteed satisfaction

This is turning into quite a binge.

I like all of these to be honest. Nothing I'd choose to own, but there's something about that throbbing impressionist Sebesky sound.

[Rabshakeh]

Bobby Previte's Latin For Travelers – My Man In Sydney (Enja, 1997)

Quinsin Nachoff's Flux - Path of Totality (Whirlwind, 2019) 

I've listened to this quite a few times this week. Strangely horrible internet age production on the drums, but really absorbing.

Wonderful. With Monk, Wes' brother on bass.

I could have kept going but now I'm refreshing my ears for the new Mosaic set arriving later today.  I have most all of the CTI recordings... just a very few short, actually (and they happen to be Hubert Laws albums).  I had most on Lp and they were bought new in the 70s.  I don't know why but the JC Penney near where I grew up had a record department which carried CTI.  A few years later, Tower Records moved in about a 1/2 mile from home.  I used to buy Blue Note cut-outs at the Montgomery Ward close by.  Had many Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine from them.  Ah, the good old days!

One of the later Contemporarys of the 14... series. Excellent!

The # C 14012 with Shorty Rogers is also highly recommended

Re: Ernie Wilkins

This one from  1983 is also here. I am a great Wilkins fan with that "almost big band"
