That cover gives me the creeps. It's like the Davey & Goliath version of what Albert Ayler might have looked like.

I like this one a lot. Andrew Cyrille's leader dates as a whole are underrated, I think, but particularly this one. The younger and slightly more pushy David S Ware works well on this album.  

Yessir.  Good stuff!  The preceding record with the same group, Metamusicians' Stomp, is top shelf too.

Now on to Music from the Source by Cecil McBee (Enja, 1978).

Such a great album. One of Chico Freeman's strongest performances, which plays to his strengths at the time. The Steve McCall / Don Moye percussion section works so well, too. There's lots of moments of exciting group interplay all round. 

With thanks to Hutchfan for reminding me to put this one on.

Disc 1

Up next:

I forgot that it was Slide Hampton on trombone.  I actually assumed it was Steve Davis, who has popped up everywhere during his career.

John Patton - Memphis to New York Spirit (Blue Note, rec. 1969/70)

I sure do wish Patton would've had an opportunity to continue making records into the 1970s.  Everything from That Certain Feeling up to this one: They all have something -- hard to put a finger on it -- that's somehow unexpected, definitely not pro-forma.  They're even a little "off."  And I mean that in the best possible way. 

Marvin Cabell's and Blood Ulmer's contributions are certainly part of the equation.  But Patton was charting the course and steering the ship, no?

“Split” 

I’ve always thought of them being influenced a bit by the more psychedelic acts on Motown - Undisputed Truth, Norman Whitfield era Temptations etc.

Acutally a reissue of Dance Mania with two outtakes added, one of which was never issued anywhere else. 

I just compared eight different reissues of Dance Mania's opening track, El Cayuco - they all sound slightly different, although most were remastered by Dick Baxter.

My favorite song when I was in high school was Constant Rain from Brasil '66's second album Equinox. 

So twice a year I pull out the album and give it a spin.  So today's the day.

Not only is Bird fantastic, but Al Haig also plays marvelously on these sessions.

Today I received a set of 4 reissues from Japanese Savoy which collects I think (I still haven't heard them) this material. They're these:

I wanted this, but didn't find it:
