There's a bit of a Sue Rainey cult out there, and not without good reason! Damn good singer. 

For me she's far from a favorite, but a good singer.

Try that bathtub record

I'm not going out of my way . . . she hasn't moved me that much.

Greg Osby "Further Ado" Blue Note cd

As my system has improved I've been able to enjoy some discs better than ever before. This is one of them.

Disc 3, the Montreal concert:

 

In line at a chicken place here, I had the realization that I am, in fact, old when a patron addressed me as Unk. Now the other shoe has dropped:  I am finding even archival releases by my favorite artists far less seductive than I once did.

Birthright – Breath Of Life (Freelance, 1976)

Miles Davis "Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel" Sony Teo Macero Edited Edition disc 3

Mad crazy skills as far as pitch and phrasing. 

Would I want to go into a dark room and ponder my existence with this? No. But if I just wanted to hear some skills on display, yeah, I would turn on the light and let this in the room for a little set of this.

Good on you.

Right now

Ray Barretto - Jazz (Fania, 2008)
Superb collection of jazz- and descarga-oriented Fania cuts, compiled by Bobby Sanabria.  I'm often not a fan of compilation albums -- but this is off the chain!  I'd chalk it up at a full FIVE stars.

Max Roach & Anthony Braxton – One In Two - Two In One (HatHut)

[Peter Friedman]

More Barretto:

Ray Barretto & New World Spirit - Taboo (Concord Picante, 1994)
This album isn't astounding like the compilation above (IMO).  It's more straightforwardly conventional "Latin Jazz".  Even so, I still really dig it.  Check out the selection of tunes.  Along with a few originals, they cover Nat's "Work Song," Stanley's "Brother Tom," and McCoy's "Effendi" -- plus "Lazy Afternoon."  It works.

That one has never quite grabbed me like Birth and Rebirth. ... What are your impressions?

Maybe it's time to pull it from the shelf & give it another listen.
