Wynton Marsalis Septet “Blue Interlude” Columbia cd.

I like this band. Hard to believe it has been more than 30 years when this first came out.

Wynton Marsalis – trumpet; piano and spoken word
Reginald Veal – bass
Herlin Riley – drums
Marcus Roberts – piano
Wessel Anderson – alto saxophone
Todd Williams – tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, clarinet
Wycliffe Gordon – trombone

I always had a soft spot for Wycliffe Gordon's playing.

I don't know why I've been in such a groove for 60s-70s big band but oh well...

Woody Herman The Raven Speaks UK vinyl LP album (LP record) (445886)

I started a thread for the era semi-recently. Still interest in any recommendations.

Thought I recognized the drummer's name – he's on some fantastic records with Theo Loevendie. Any recommendations for other Mal recordings with European musicians? Off the top of my head, I recall some of his 70s quintet records having some great European players on them (Moods, Hard Talk, etc.) and I'm certainly interested in hearing more from that period, especially sessions that are on the more obscure side like Number Nineteen seems to be.

Well with all European groups he recorded: Mal Waldron Trio (1966) Ursula (1969) Blood and Guts (1970) A Little Bit of Miles (1972). Of these Blood and Guts is the most essential. Thats such a great one.

There are also a lot of albums with great European players on them. The ones I'd reccomend best are:

Free at Last, 1969, with Isla Eckinger from Switzerland.

The Call, 1971 with Eberhard Weber from Germany

Black Glory, 1971 with Pierre Favre from France

Hard Talk, 1974 with Manfred Schoof from Germany and again Isla Eckinger

One Upmanship, 1977 with again Schoof

No More Tears for Lady Day, 1988 with Paolo Carduso who is Brazilian born but lived in Germany

From Dark into Light, 1994 with the excellent tenor saxophonist Nicolas Simion from Romania

Misterioso from 1998 with again Nicolas Simion

One More Time from 2002 with Jean Francois Jenny Clarke from France
