    Gene Norman Presents excerpts from two editions of this group recorded in California in 1954. Four tracks are from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on 7/13/54, with Teddy Edwards (ts), Carl Perkins (p) & George Bledsoe (b). The other four are from the Shrine Auditorium, L.A. on 8/31/54 with Harold Land (ts), Richie Powell (p) & George Morrow (b). The sound is better than I expected & Brownie's playing exceptional. The dates & locations I give are from jazzwestcoachresearch.blogspot.com by James A. Harrod, entry for 6/7/16. The tracks were edited, with tenor & piano solos shortened. A CD issued by Fresh Sound has the tunes unedited, taken from a tape supplied by Teddy Edwards. Clifford got married during this stay in California, on 7/16/54, to Emma LaRue Anderson & a reception was held at the Tiffany Club. Guests included the new band as well as Red Norvo & Tal Farlow, who were playing the club.

    (LP Blue Note mono BLP-4160) .... recorded December 1963 .... Andrew Hill (p) + Richard Davis (b) + Eddie Khan (b) + Roy Haynes (dr) .... following "Black Fire" Andrew Hill`s sequel on Blue Note offers again dark and restless compositones - the use of two bass players intensifies the forementioned characteristics and the sensitive drumming by Roy Haynes keep things perfectly under control .... this Blue Note Mono release from 1966 carries verily fantastic sound ....

    (LP Blue Note mono BLP-4179) .... recorded August 1964 .... Jackie McLean (as) + Charles Tolliver (tp) + Herbie Hancock (p) + Cecil McBee (b) + Roy Haynes (dr) .... following master works like "One Step Beyond" or "Destination Out" and his problem related break Jackie McLean returned with a new Quintet and all compositions here are either by the leader or energetic trumpet player Charles Tolliver .... the rhythm section contributes substantially with some fervent playing by Herbie Hancock and both Cecil McBee and Roy Haynes are pushing the whole session .... another divine sounding Blue Note Mono release from 1965 ....

    Tom Scott And The L.A. Express - S/T (1973)

    Ode/Legacy/Columbia EK 64959

    My first spin. Groovy stuff!

    A younger coworker who primarily listens to "depressive funeral doom metal" suddenly took interest in this album after seeing the cover art :laugh:

    A beautiful sunny morn in the PNW (believe it) and this is still in heavy rotation.

    Fela Ransome Kuti: And His Koola Lobitos

    Fela's 'Trumpet Period' anyone? A far too often overlooked period in his development that was pre-Afrobeat and pre-Africa 70, neither of which could have happened without this developmental and experimental stage of Fela finding his voice. This is a killer varied program that draws from many wells......including Miles as evidenced below. Originally issued on Parlophone in 1969 this Knitting Factory 3-fer compiles his sides from Parlophone, Phillips and EMI.

    Isn't it? A gorgeous sounding album with quite an overarching analog feel to it. This was recorded at Studios La Buissonne, Pernes-les-Fontaines by Gerard de Haro. He recorded much of Louis Sclavis' catalog for the label at the same studios with equally fine results. Devinitely check them out if you are so inclined.

    I'm guessing that some of these engineers, including Stefano Amerio who also does a stellar job, will be getting more and more work from Eicher as JEK is getting up there in years. Although Eicher is of equal age. I wonder if he is mentoring someone?

    Tom Scott - Rural Still Life (1969)

    2015 Impulse!/Universal Japan UCCI-9279 "Impulse! Classics 50" series; 20-bit K2 mastering by Shigeo Miyamoto under supervision of Tamaki Beck

    First spin, digging it so far. It's a step or two down the 'smooth jazz' spectrum from where I normally hang out, but still very enjoyable.

    Newman Baker and Thurman Barker, or is that Newman Barker and Thurman Baker? Both drummers and I always have to watch so as not to get the surname spelling mixed up.

  13. Double Dexter session!

    I've just listened to the two albums from this 5CD box that I hadn't previously heard, and they both sound marvellous.

    [​IMG]
    5 Original Albums - Dexter Gordon (Blue Note)

    First up...

    [​IMG]

    Dexter Calling...-Dexter Gordon (Blue Note)

    Released 1961

    followed by

    [​IMG]

    A Swingin' Affair - Dexter Gordon (Blue Note)

    Released 1964

    This neat and compact box has no bonus tracks on the featured albums and there is no booklet. All albums are issued in original replica carboard sleeves.

    This is yet another superb and genuine budget price box. Based on what I have heard it is one well worth checking out, especially if you are missing out on any of the included titles.

    Unfortunately, a lot of ECM albums leave me cold from just listening to samples. It keeps me from buying a lot of them. I can check them out on Hoopla for two weeks, up to six a month, but they aren't all there. In particular, some new releases don't show up right away.

    I'll bet someone already posted this. I don't care!

    Said it here before and caught a lot of flak, but there are very few ECM albums that I like, most leave me totally cold and uninvolved.

    I had a fall-off with ECM during many years.
    Then, maybe 5 years ago, I began listening to them again.
    Now I can't get enough of these beautiful aural landscapes.
