So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

This is pretty much the band that I saw live in December of 1970, captured in a pretty reasonable recorded representation. To call them powerful would be a gross injustice!

If I had a time machine to go back to any gig I ever attended, that might be the one.. first live jazz, and LOCKJAW!!!

Harold Jones still does not get enough credit. Hell that vintage of Basie doesn't get enough credit. Blame it on the records. But not this one.

Interesting alto chairs... Do I miss Marshall Royal & Bobby Plater? Not sure, but I definitely notice their absence.

OTOH - LOCKJAW APLENTY!!!! 

And George Duvivier!

Now listening to The Complete Yusef Lateef (Atlantic, 1967), one of the albums included in this 32 Jazz reissue:

1989. When all that OTHER nonsense was raging, some people were doing stuff like this. Thank you, Gary Thomas (and crew).

Absolutely great album.  Magadini is a master and Menza SMOKES!

Because, why not.  Great album cover:
