Steve Turre – Rhythm Within

The Betty Carter Album

This record really was ahead of its time. 

Two terrific records.   

 

[HutchFan]

McCoy Tyner - Passion Dance (Milestone, 1979)
with RC and Tony

 

[Rabshakeh]

Jason Moran - Same Mother

Since Ten, I've been finding Moran a little po faced for my tastes, but that original run in the 00s was just incredible. Moran made all those other 90s/00s piano guys look like also-rans.

I hear a lot of Don Pullen on this one. More in the way concepts move into each other and high and low combine than in terms of direct influence.

Black / Note – L.A. Underground

[Peter Friedman]

Other than his early Prestige albums, Mal Waldron's playing has not been to my taste.

This is an exception. Waldron plays standards and I found this an enjoyable recording.

SHM-SACD just arrived from cdjapan.co.jp

Wow. This may be the best sounding of the recent Coltrane SHM-SACDs.

[Rabshakeh]

Sten Sandell and Lisa Ullén – Double Music (Clean Feed, 2021)

First listen to this. A piano duo on Clean Feed. Very modern classical in style, drawing on French modernism, to my ears. I think I'd rather hear more developed compositions played expertly by one pianist than this. I'm just not that sure what the improvisatory duo adds.

Now streaming:

Grachan Moncur III - Shadows (Denon, 1977)
Andy Bey should've received a front-cover "featuring" credit, since his voice is so prominent throughout the album.

I love Nucleus's 6-CD Torrid Zone box set on Esoteric. Have often been tempted by the BBC set, but could never justify purchase given that significant box from the same era I already own.

This is definitely supplemental to that box rather than a replacement for ti, especially given the annoyances of the BBC announcers (thankfully given their own tracking, so you can program around them), but there's some great stuff on this one also, and it's different enough from the Torrid Zone box.

Thanks, good to know. I'll leave it on the want list and hope for a compelling offering.

I enjoy the Barbara Thompson BBC box and don't have any problem with those BBC announcers...they must get more air time on the Nucleus set.

As you say, it is basically an Andy Bey record.

Stockholm Swing All Stars “In the Spirit of Duke Ellington”

Interesting interpretations with a different feel than the Ellington band’s.
