Second to last Pee Wee release, Red’s last.

[HutchFan]

Disc 2

[jazzbo]

Haven’t played this on LP or cd in a long time. Burned out on it a long time ago but enough time has passed that I enjoy it again.

Weather Report “Heavy Weather” Columbia LP

This one was bought when the LP was new and is still in good shape.

I didn't know Kuhn and Haden were on it!

Yes. It's short but I really dig it.

The original cover is more arresting, but also more illegible.

Reminding myself that Sam Rivers recorded with Tadd Dameron.

I didn´t purchase that and was reluctant to buy some "remainders" from the BN vaults, since I´m not really a completist. Besides that I don´t know who is Fred Jackson and since I have not heard from other guys or mentors here that I´d have to listen to him, I may not have been aware of him. 

Tadd Dameron would be interesting, but I have read too many bad reviews, that the arrangements were a mess and so on. But it would have been the last time Tadd Dameron played himself on a record. I have a special liking for his comping and learned something from it, and his solos are nice miniatures. The only studio album from his last years (where he does not play) doesn´t really kill me. Somehow his tunes didn´t have that flair they had in his most creative period, the somehow had smoothed out. To hear Dameron compositions without himself playing I prefer to listen to the sides that Philly J.J. made with his "Dameronia" band....

That Fred Jackson Blue Note album Hootin' N Tootin' is a personal favorite, esp the CD/SACD that combines it with 7 unreleased bonus tracks. He's a great player and hearing Earl Van Dyke in this setting is nice.

Miles Davis “Four & More” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

[jazzbo]

I wanted to hear Paula Morelenbaum's lovely voice. But there are many reasons to pull this one from the shelf! Lovely!
