I really enjoyed it. Much better playing from Shepp than on his other late period records. The band is great and lots of variety.

I’d love to know how that tour went.

I understand that it went very well even tho there were a lot of musicians to move around. They didn't play at very many places because of various logistics, but this Tokyo gig was a big thing. I tend to like it more than the African gig they had a couple years earlier in "Zaire" because they (and the concert organizers and audience) were more pre-occupied by the spectacle of the "Rumble in the Jungle" shenanigans.

A very interesting duet session by two masters. Vitchev is new to me, Iago has been a favorite for a while.

Billie Holiday “Volume 15: 1945-1946” Masters of Jazz, Media7 France cd

 

This is a nice volume in the series with some live material in better sound than I have elsewhere. I’m hoping one day to find and buy Volumes 16 and 17.

True, that. Before purchasing any Morris, I heard the "Treasure Box" (though not in that format) recordings of Alan Silva's HR 57 material and thought the results merited more listening.

Yess, quite. But if I have one criticism, it's that the endings too often seem arbitrary and maybe too long in coming.

Young-Holt Unlimited – Oh Girl

The only YHU record I return to regularly. 

Echoes Of Swing – Blue Pepper

What's the story with this release? Is there a connection with the classic jazz label Good Time Jazz? Is it a tribute or something sort of licence deal?

The day is starting off even a little cooler than yesterday, but it should be about as warm as yesterday, but sunnier. That sun will be welcome!

Popped in another volume in this excellent songbook series from Lumiar Records.
