Nice to hear Woody talk at the end (cool, calm and eloquent). Great music before!

Great music indeed. I saw the same group in 1983 in Austria. Electra Musician was Bruce Lundvalls try to record all the artists who where dropped by CBS after Lundvall left the company, It must have been terrible frustrating for men like Woody Shaw and Dexter Gordon to be dropt by a major label and forced to record for a small label and maybe this led to there abuses with harmful stuff in the following years, that´s my opinion. 
I saw both Woody and Dexter after the loss of the CBS contract each one on stage and from successful artists on the top of the field they turned to frustrated men, loaded with all kinds of harmful stuff and their was an air of death during their gigs, it was a tragedy back then, as the 80´s went on......

Interesting observations ....

Bob Feldman -----Triplicity-------(One note)

I don't know anything about the leader. As I recall this disc was recommended in these parts on his passing. This is a fine set.

NP:

Duduka Da Fonseca Trio - New Samba Jazz Directions (Zoho)
with David Feldman (p) and Guto Wirtti (b)

I've enjoyed this album since it was first released in 2013.

 

[kh1958]

Cannonball Adderley, Burnin' in Bordeaux, Live in France 1969 (Elemental)

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Azymuth - Rapid Transit (Milestone, 1983)

One of this band's best albums, IMO.  . . .  And I love the ultra-1980s design of the cover.

[HutchFan]

First spin.  Sounding great, so far.  Dan Weiss in the drummer's chair is always a good sign.

Max Light - Henceforth (SteepleChase)

This 2023 release was given to me by mi amigo, @Ken Dryden.  Thanks, Ken!

That's a pretty good record.

This again:

Bruce Gertz - Red Handed (Double-Time Records, 1999)

If I were to make a list of my favorite records of the 1990s, this one would be on it.  The front-line combo of Abercrombie & Bergonzi is VERY nice.

Time for that 90s blog perhaps? 😀
