A dry cool morning. We are entering my favorite weather period, fall. I could do without the high winds that seem to be a new feature to the season–there’s a giant beech tree that has become hollow we will have to cut down–big dollars to do that will have to come from somewhere. . . .

Starting off wtih “Strings” by Pat Martino on Prestige/OJC cd. This album is fierce–partly it’s the way it was recorded and partly it is the intensity that Pat and Joe Farrell bring to their heads and solos.

Love the Joe Farrell on here!

John Zorn - Masada Anniversary Edition Vol. 1: Masada Guitars

Part of the problem with these records is that whilst Masada certainly succeeded as a group, it wasn't on the back of the songbook but the great interplay within the group. Outside of the core original quartet, the only records that really work for me are the string sextet ones.

Starting off with a Savoy/Denon cd, a sort of Dixie/Swing session that I have not heard in a long time.

Art Farmer Quintet “The Time And The Place (The Lost Concert)” Mosaic cd

Bass – Walter Booker
Drums – Mickey Roker
Flugelhorn – Art Farmer
Piano – Albert Dailey
Tenor Saxophone – Jimmy Heath

From Mosaic:

“In 1967, Columbia issued The Time And The Place by the Art Farmer quintet, billing it as a concert from the Museum Of Modern Art. In fact, it was a studio recording with fake applause dubbed in. The real concert sat in the vaults until three tunes came out on a 1982 double LP reissue. Even then, no one seemed to discover the ruse. When Mosaic began researching Farmer’s Columbia tapes, it became obvious that those three tracks were live and the original album was manipulated.
The actual concert took place on August 18, 1966 was recorded and, except for three tunes, has sat in the vaults ever since. Mosaic has uncovered the original three-track masters of the unedited performance, which contains seven superb extended performances and remixed them in 24-bit.”
