He really plays nice, but I fear that it´s somehow my fault that I don´t have a sole album of him. Heard about fans that are really crazy about him and have everything he recorded, but something does not "work" for me or "exite" me the way other artists inspire me. Strange for many, but I try to be honest.....,

It was my first under his own name. I was a big Don Cherry Fan almost as early as I started listening to jazz. And someone had that album and I taped it on casetofon, like we all did. I think that strange guy who really had those then called "avantgarde" or "free jazz" records, also had a super rare "Charles Brackeen" Rhythm X, which I also taped since there was "MY" Don Cherry on it. 

That guy...... you know, had a big magnetofon, big boxes and speakers, lot of equipment, and other stuff whas not in his one room appartment. He only had an ashtray, a "sac de dormit" (who you say ? Sleepin´sack????) , a caftan and a sombrero, and I was a shy little kid, but I loved to be in that room......

Another album that I love very much. Though I think I have listened more to his first album "Lifetime", but "Spring" is an easier album, it is more "swing" in it, or "schwing" how Alfred Lion said .....

Saw them live about then, very impressive

Henry Mancini – Combo!

I'm not about to suddenly become a lounge guy but this is really a very good, creative record, with all the usual West Coast guys hamming it up, and only a few swinging funky bach harpsichord jams. I am surprised that it doesn't get mentioned more alongside the likes of Quincy Jones. Perhaps it is too jazzy for the easy listening fans but too easy listening for the jazz fans.

Hoping my dog will settle down this morning. Maybe Ella will help!

Ella Fitzgerald (with the Tommy Flanagan Trio) “Montreux '77” OJC cd

 

[jazzbo]

Okay, she finally settled down. I’m enjoying the cool morning while it lasts. Should stay fairly cool, mid-seventies, today. . . but plenty of rain expected.

Shifting to Big Blue, Bob Dylan, “The Cutting Edge” disc 5.

“I’m in the kitchen with the tombstone blues.” Love take 1.

 

 

 

 

[jazzbo]

Right now, something different. . . .the first spin of the 2023 Blu-Spec CD2 Miles Davis “Agharta,” disc 1

The system is astonishingly good lately and this disc sounds wonderful.

TTK recommended this to me a while ago. It's really good. Sometimes the jazz police simply should shut up.

These are good albums (Japanese reissue CDs) of standards with Hod O'Brien.
