About a month ago, I ordered some discs from CDJapan.  Since some of the items were on backorder, the package only arrived today.  I felt like Ralphie at the mailbox this afternoon:

The only difference: My CDs are better than his secret decoder ring! 

 

First up:

That's a masterpiece, beautiful. It's difficult to go wrong with Togashi though 

Playing here:

Joe Chambers - Samba de Maracatu, first listen and the production seems really boomy. Music is arresting

Now on this one:

Not at all what I was expecting from a major label release with Wynton Marsalis on it.  

The whole thing sounds like live outtakes from late period James Carter or Anthony Davis / James Newton stuff.

Joris Dudli is a wonderful drummer. 
I heard Ponomarev only one time in the late 70´s when he was with the Jazz Messengers.

I was a big Wes Montgomery fan in the 70´s and tried to find all records that were not the later more commercially records with arrangements and strings and God knows what. This one I loved very much, especially the long swinging blues track and the wonderful Dameron ballad "If You Could See Me Now"....
