Herbie Mann – Impressions Of The Middle East (Atlantic, 1967)

R-673074-1185515732.jpg.68e1d145c503d3f788f94962fcb59316.jpg

My philosophy of life, which underpins all my decisions and interactions, with animals, the natural world, and other humans, is that Herbie Mann records are all either really really bad or really really good. I like this one.

A brilliant insight into the true & universal nature of reality, I'd say.  :P

I think Barry Harris was the next thing to Bud Powell. I don´t have records with him as a leader, but many where he is a sideman. 

This is bebop piano masterclass. IMO

Bob Thiele And His New Happy Times Orchestra / Gabor Szabo With The California Dreamers And Tom Scott & Bill Plummer – Light My Fire

I always assumed that this would not be worth investigating, but it's actually pretty enjoyable. 

Tom Scott is a player who I never got. Did record company execs reckon he'd be the next Charles Lloyd?

With Ron McLure..... I remember Ron McLure was with a Dave Liebman Group in the late 70´s, a fantastic group. Was Ron McLure the replacement for Chambers after Chambers had died. I have somewhere a Kelly-George Coleman think with also McLure on bass, sorry to say it is a terrible recording sound. 
So, was this a late Kelly album ? I like his playing very much, but mostly together with other players like Wes, like Hank Mobley and so on.

Walter Davis Trio - Night Song (Denon, 1979)

Is Tom Barney the same who played with Miles for a short period (between Marcus Miller and Darryl Jones ?).

I don´t know this edition but the most common listening to Bird over here was that striped cover design series from UK. I don´t remember the name of the label, could it have been Saga ? And later there was one of the best bop labels in general also from UK "Spotlite". That was much unissued Bird on broadcast or live, and the Dial recordings. Not everything was apt for listening, like all those short excerpts on "The Band that Never Was" or too many alternate takes of the otherwise wonderful session with Earl Coleman and Erroll Garner..... but I remember the first "must" for a Bird-Lover then was those "striped" series. Who had it was "into it"......

Yes, this is the second-to-last recording date Kelly led. A mostly overlooked LP, IMHO.
