So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" box set, disc 5

This is a great box set. I wish I could go back in time and experiment with Jymie a better cable for Jymie's Ampeg bass. I'd like to try one of my Analysis Plus Bass Oval cables, or my best cable, a TARA Labs patch cord I purchased from a recording studio. That bass sound needs some help and I think a good cable would be an improvement.

Pulled this out after falling asleep with my Sun Ra Radio Pandora station on and then waking up a few hours later with the ending of "Images" blaring loud and proud...I though I had been moved to another, better, and stronger world there for a second.

Re-listening to this one. This is my first exposure to the two women saxophonists in this quartet, and to the leader on drums, having heard him on piano before.

Interesting music, seems Coleman inspired and following harmelodic structure, and also sounds rather fresh and contemporary, helped in that aspect by excellent recording. I have one more of his recordings I will put on soon.

Enrique Haneine "Mind's Mural"

Mini lp version with 5 alternates added.

Masayuki "JoJo" Takayanagi - Free Form Suite (Free Blind Mice, 1972)

The first tune of this could be Guiffre. The rest, less so.

I think that's such a clever album, the way they progress through the styles on each track from the Giuffre 3 to something way beyond that by the end. i can remember playing it for the first time and thinking "what's this?" on that first track as I'd bought it unheard and was expecting full-on from the off

Bengt-Arne Wallin - Old Folklore in Swedish Modern (DUX, 1962)

Well this was a surprise! New to me and possibly the best thing I have listened to all week. Folk, pagan, exotica and jazz in big band setting with some excellent Sahib Shihab, from the 1960s Swedish scene.

Another excellent recommendation from the Euromodernism thread.

Now on to The Magic of Ju Ju (Impulse!, 1968) by Archie Shepp.

Jazz Sur Seine (Philips, 1959)

I am interested to learn from Discogs that this was not in fact originally a Barney Wilen leader date, and that he was in fact second named co-billing.

Is that the session where Milt only plays piano?

Seems an age ago I ordered the LP and I've just checked, it's not shipping until January. That's taking the piss, JiB

I was convinced a month or so ago that they were showing the vinyl as ready for shipment within 2 days but maybe not. All the smaller operations over here seem to have been hit by plant capacity issues.

I think it's had several dates, it certainly wasn't 2022 when I ordered it. I daren't now look at the Mandala ship date. I usually wait for the LP rather than listening to the download but I think exceptions need to be made soon
