Now playing:

Bobby Hutcherson - Medina (BN, rec. 1969)
Connoisseur Series CD that includes Spiral (less one cut) as bonus tracks

Probably my favorite album(s) by the great Hutcherson-Land Quintet.  This iteration of the group with Stanley Cowell, Reggie Johnson & Joe Chambers was special.

A pity they didn't record as Trio too ....

There aren't enough Cowell trio recordings of that vintage. I like his later (Steeplechase, etc.) recordings just fine, but would have liked more earlier trios.

Probably "Illusion Suite" (ECM) from 1972 ....

Yes, but that is difficult to find (on CD at least), as is Equipoise from 1978.

All I have is Blues for the Viet Cong from 1969. 😪

More Stanley Cowell -- in a trio format or otherwise -- is always fine by me.  :) 

Also agree that both Illusion Suite and Equipoise are wonderful.   (I have both albums on vinyl.)

Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra – A Swingin' Safari

What's your takeaway from this one?

I actually don't mind the odd Kaempfert cut. I like that trumpet player, sort of a German Bobby Hackett vibe to him.
