Craig Chaquico, Russ Freeman – From The Redwoods To The Rockies (Windham Hill, 1998)

I've been having fun with the Rippingtons recently, and been trying to find a similar hit of fizzy pop. It's not this. This one is dreadful.

Charles Fambrough – The Proper Angle (CTI, 1991)

This one's cool. Sadly no Rippingtons connection though. We all have room for self improvement.

Any others of his records worth listening to? They all have enticing line ups.

Roach's playing is intense on this album. I've got that Mosaic Single as well - love it!

I picked up that Farewell record recently via the Octave Lab Deep Jazz Reality series. Excellent record!

Yes, it is a gem for sure. Agree totally re: Roach too. He is absolutely on fire but in a 100% controlled manner on tracks such as ‘Lover’. Glorious stuff.

Great feature for Yusef in ‘Like Someone in Love’ too.

Back on deck for a well deserved re-spin or three.

I've never seen that one before.  Good stuff?

Very good. Brawny slightly Avant adjacent Chicago big band with a commitment to the tradition. Similar concept to Kahil El Zabar's smaller groups.

Early 00s weren't a great time for mainstream jazz in my opinion. This is one of my favourites from that era.
