1st play

 

Arrived yesterday and both are much better than I thought they were going to be. Usual top-notch production standards by Ace plus their usual informative liner notes.

 

Oh man, this is great news!!!! I am definitely getting my hands on that Caliman debut. The one I REALLY want is Iapetus with the mighty Todd "Bayete" Cochran on Rhodes. They need to do that one next!

 

John Abercrombie/Dave Holland/Jack DeJohnette - Gateway

 

The Jack Bruce Band - Live '75

 

SHM-CD

 

This one hasn't seen the light of day in a while...

Arthur Blythe - Light Blue

Wonder why I can't get Tinypic to show up?

 

Call, security. There is an intruder in the building

 

I have a lot of heavenly sweetness/Blue Note reissues. Including Breaking Point. Yes, they are well pressed records. Hope they keep up the good work.

 

I have this on CD, but looked for years for a reasonably priced version of Sorcerer on record.

Picked up the new MOFI 45 rpm reissue today for reasonable cash at a local shop. It is just stunningly good.

Keep them coming MOFI.

 

Bill Cosby - Badfoot Brown & The Bunions Bradford Funeral & Marching Band



I don't know about all this drama with Cos but this here is a pretty bangin' early 70s album with a dark and heavy spiritual vibe. The mysterious band he assembled is rumored to include Joe Henderson and Sonny Sharrock. Just two MASSIVE cuts of cosmic jazz goodness. I really dig this opening cut which is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King:

 

Lovin' this album right now, it really pulls you in.

 

Kunihiko Sugano - Solo

 

Milt Jackson - The Prophet Speaks
Milt Jackson, vibes; Cedar Walton, piano; John Clayton, bass;
Joe Williams, vocals; Joshua Redman, tenor sax.

 

It's funny how my warning about a particular photo in a post is quoted after someone quoted the picture again. Weird!

 

Patience is a virtue; everything comes to he who waits..........

 

The SHM-CD and boy is it a good sounding release (at last).

 

Very nice to receive it while I was having the Monday blues.
