I may have enough time to get a listen to this one in. . . .

Omar Sosa, "A New Life". . . nice solo piano cd.

For now both gentleman are "over there" .... Gary Peacock R.I.P ....

[Justin V]

I am remembering Gary Peacock with his one.  With the news of his passing now being confirmed, it makes for a strange day of simultaneously celebrating Sonny's birthday and mourning Peacock's death.

Years ago, Ayler Records ended up liquidating their inventory of this one for something silly like $6 including s&h before it went OOP.

If anyone can find a mono lp of this session grab it - the sound/mix is far superior to the stereo. I am sorry I sold my lp when I got a cd, but luckily I made a cassette of the record.

and

Originally released as 2 LPs: The Soul Is Willing and Soul Shoutin'

Beaver Harris 360 Degrees Music Experience - Negcaumongus (Cadence, 1981)

It's barely recorded at all, but I can't get enough of the duet between Don Pullen on piano and Francis Haynes on steel drums at the start of side two.

Gregg August, Dialogues on Race

This bassist/composer's set at Winter JazzFest (an eternity ago) in January was an unexpected highlight, and this new CD reflects what I heard.

Perhaps not "Jazz," strictly speaking.  ... Then again, who cares when the music is this good?
