Nice Cover Photography .... btw was sort of a "showcase platter" with Hi-Fi aficionados for some time ....

I think this was it. Friends of my parents had a son who was more interested in Hi-Fi than in music, but he had this LP.

Cover nice.....well typical Peterson grin

There was no need for the AC unit nor fans last night–and two humans and one dog were very happy about that! A bit muggy this morning but nice!

Starting the day off with two albums from this two cd set, “Conception: the Gift of Love” and “Un Poco Loco,” both Columbia releases.

Duke Ellington “Newport 1958” Mosaic Records cd

This Mosaic Single release combines live material with mono studio material. Some wonderful music!

Some great Gonsalves!

Bob Berg enjoyed some of his finest hours with this band ....

The only Bob Berg I have in my collection actually. Any suggestions on other albums?

Believe the three volumes of Cedar Walton Quartet on SteepleChase recorded @ Montmartre Copenhagen in October 1977 are a worthy option....

@rostasi I'm actually digging some of these tracks. I didn't read the write up about it but it appears to be a comp of (mostly?) previously issued live dates. The 2015 Stone Residency tracks with Ulmer are fantastic. Not a fan of the Buckethead track, and haven't gotten to the Frith yet either but overall those others were persuasive.

NP:

The addition of Curtis Fuller to the lineup brings some variation. Not my favorite trombonist but he does well enough here, and his presence on these tracks is substantial. If you're a Fuller fan, you'll dig this.

Seven Minds is the standout track IMO. Nice playing from Jones is a highlight.

Moved to Eastern Rebellion 4 which is interesting for the addition of Alfredo Armenteros on trumpet and David Williams on bass. 

NP:

This is a nice pairing with the first volume since it's that same quartet here, live in Bremen '76. I dig these guys live a little more than in a studio. Looks like it has only this Japanese CD as the official release, but I bet it's online somewhere.

Mabuta “Welcome to this World” Impartmaint Inc. Japan cd

Interesting “fusion” from South Africa, 2017

Charlie Rouse's unsung gem.  The main body is good, but the last bonus track, One For Five, is just wonderful.

Back home after a long trip and reading Hentoff again, which meant listening to these two, each of whom gets a chapter.

Haven't listened to this in ages!

Braxton and Crispell with 4 duet compositions that are all segued together for one 45 minute track. I do wish M&A had separated the tracks but what the hell. It's good and a rewarding listen. Recorded live June 30, 1989 in Vancouver, released in 1990 and it looks like this is the only pressing available.
