Great disc title! What about the music? 

Lots of chopped up samples of everything from vibes (Mwamba’s a reasonably-known vibes player on the British scene, not sure of what his worldwide presence is) to dulcimer and a Swiss exercise ball, recorded a home on a laptop. Very much of the “MySpace generation”. I’m not sure that it’s jazz, really, but it’s aged surprisingly well for what it is. It’s available to sample on his Bandcamp page, if you fancy a taste. It lists the wines he was drinking whilst making it.

From the list, I’m afraid to say that the Rioja in question probably wasn’t Spain’s finest export.

Duku Makasi on tenor, ahead of a piano trio led by Tete Mbambisa.

And that's one I regret not buying when it was about

That totally groovy Candid session with Roy Eldridge, Eric Dolphy, Jimmy Knepper, Tommy Flanagan, Charles Mingus, and Jo Jones.

Eldridge & Dolphy together would probably work nowhere else but on a record date, but...here one is, and listening to the contrast - and when Dolphy wants to go "vocal" the similarities - is one more reason why Records Are Your Best Entertainment Value

Were they not together live at Newport before the recording was made?

They might have been, at the Rebel Festival. But Ornette played with KD there as well, and that would not have worked more than once!

I guess what i meant was as an ongoing engagement, like for a club date of any duration.

Gil Evans & The Monday Night Orchestra - Live at Sweet Basil (Evidence)

Quite fascinating music, marred a bit by Hiram "The Butcher" Bullock's presence/playing ....

Lew Soloff - Hanalei Bay (Electric Bird/ProJazz, 1985)

The rhythm section on this disc -- Gil Evans (el p), Pete Levin (synth), Mark Egan (el b), and Adam Nussbaum (d) -- is drawn from Evans' Monday Night Orchestra, as heard on the recording above.  Soloff played in that band too, of course.

Hmm...  I've never had much of a reaction to Bullock, one way or the other. (My biggest association: Him playing with the "Late Night with David Letterman" band.)

What is it about Bullock's playing bothers you? 

Incidentally, he also appears on Hanalei Bay.

Kenny Graham's Afro-Cubists Volume One - Mango Walk (Esquire, 1951-3)

Nice one, which I don't own but listened to on the YouTubes after reading a reference to it in a blog. From the looks of it, it was a London bebop band, with West African percussionists, playing Afro-Cuban bebop. What I heard is very witty and really enjoyable.

Too loud, too intense, simply way too much rock-oriented presence .... in general I'm not an aficionado of electric guitars, but here in places he dictates the sound of the band .... f.i. Ryo Kawasaki or John Beck had a much better intergrated role in this band ....

That is a beautiful cover.

In line with the music contained therein.

 

BTW, many thanks for your info on the Sippin' Rioja disc. Not my cup of tea, I am afraid. The disc, not the wine... :)
