Original LP

[Gheorghe]

Nowadays I rarely listen to "straight ahead jazz" because my moods and spirits go more into other stuff in "so called jazz", mostly in awareness of geniusses like Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, and my beloved Sun Ra. Almost all music I have in my head, all the sounds I hear, all the feelings come from that directions, period.

 

But......of course I love some very good albums of boppish sounds and still have to play gigs with straight ahead music.

So last night I had "Sphere" on the USB in my car.  They so great. I love Charlie Rouse, else than most of you I like him most with Monk, with all due respect to Griffin, Rollins, Trane, Frank Foster or who was with Monk. But Charlie Rouse is my favourite. Same with Ben Riley I love him.

I had heard Ben Riley and Kenny Barron AND Buster Williams as sidemen for a Ron Carter Quartet in 1979. So I know and love them all. But to be deeply honest, I loved the one solo Buster Williams played, even more than what Carter played on piccolo bass......

The Sound of Buster Williams on that record is SO GREAT, I can become addict to that bass sound.

And Kenny Barron really knocked me out on "Eronel". Never ever anyone played it so beautifully, I just shouted with enthusiasm while drivin, but crazy I am, I never pretended I am a normal person.......

Preach it, Brother!  Oh yes, Buster's bass is one of the most wonderful sounds in jazz!

Well, that's pretty eerie... please don't go towards the light Joey. We'd like you to hang around a bit more.

Found this little oddity at the Paris Jazz Corner when I visited a couple of weeks back (I love that little store!). Despite some pretty short timings, there's some nice work from Hal McKusick, Al Cohn, Jimmy Cleveland, and others.
