i have been listening to this one all weekend...



can't get enough of it; the set really has made an impression on me. the title track is great, and the ones that follow are terrific, too...

i followed the players, and date, which led me to this:



i enjoy this one, too, but need to listen a bit more before further comment as I have only listened once...

both of these are from the recent haul of dr j's collection, and i am stoked that there seem to be a few more titles by both of these artists in that set of discs for me to explore and enjoy...

 

Centipede - Septober Energy

 

Louis Armstrong and His All-Stars ~ Satch Plays Fats

Columbia mono, 1955

 

Lenny McBrowne And The 4 Souls

Piano – Terry Trotter; Tenor Saxophone – Daniel Jackson; Trumpet – Donald Sleet; Bass – Herbie Lewis; Drums – Lenny McBrowne

Pacific Jazz, 1960

 

One of jazz's forgotten albums. Very nice.

 

Yes thanks, a beautiful album and the sound quality is excellent. I'm on the look out for "Eastern Lights".

 

Anthony "Tony" Williams - Life Time. Giving my TT a break, and checking out this secondhand RVG CD that came through work recently. Enjoying it so far! I had never heard of him before, but seeing Herbie Hancock, Sam Rivers and Bobby Hutcherson included in the line-up peaked my interest.

 

Officially a Modest Jazz Trio date, but actually one of Jim Hall's early albums, all but forgotten. Very nice too.

 

Tal Farlow '78

Concord

 

Thelonious Monk ~ Monk's Blues

Columbia

 

Jim's hungry:



1969 with Jimmy Woode and Daniel Humair.

This LP has been sitting around for a few years without being played so I gave it a spin. Nice quintet with Jim Hall on guitar.
Sonny Stitt - "Stitt Plays Bird"

 

Joe got his "European" on as well:



1970 with Eberhard Weber and Kenny Clare (NOT Clarke)

 

The MPS label's favorite guitar star:

 

Haven't heard that one, but I like the cover art homage to Andy Warhol's work for the 1956 album KENNY BURRELL (Blue Note BLP 1543):

 

Late great ... Ellington and Brown. Two masters in (musical) conversation.

 

I never knew about this. Love the cover, too. There's another cover. Same tracks, mastering?
