jazzbo Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Another cold, still morning. My wife slept better last night than the night before, it was my turn to lose some sleep due to the dachshund being rather needy. But I am eager to get some listening in. Starting off with Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas, Ted Nash “Tell the Birds I said Hello–the Music of Herbie Nichols” Sonic Camera cd A very nicely recorded series of interpretations of Herbie’s music in a guitar/bass/sax trio of immense talent.

jazzbo Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 (edited) Paula Castle “Lost Love” Bethlehem/Solid Records Japan cd I haven't played this cd in a long time. Paula sounds somewhat like Sarah Vaughan here, on her only record. Sam Most shines!

Rabshakeh Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Cecil Taylor - Jumpin' Punkins Back when I was getting into jazz, I bought two of the 1961 CT vault releases. This one and Cell Walk. I wasn't that impressed by them and I went along with the then-prevailing critical consensus that they were lesser works that showed CT constrained by the labels. They also suffer from a slightly old fashioned production sound. On revisiting them for the first time in years, and having listened to a much broader range of jazz in the meantime, they are a bit of a revelation. Not just to hear Taylor comping on standards behind a band, but the way that they represent a path not taken (at least until the later 1970s), where traditional jazz and swing are layered onto free jazz in an exciting and quite visceral way. I can really hear the seeds of great groups like Pullen / Adams on these records. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Pullen took inspiration from them, as the connection seems much more apparent than to Taylor's later performance modes. Quote
