'Jazz Beat (Part 41)'.

WP Coleman Hawkins Meets Ben Webster (Verve) Classic Records reissue in stereo.

NP Hank Crawford - More Soul (Atlantic) plum/orange mono pressing.

 

One of a small number of Jazz CDs I have. Most are on vinyl. This one never got issued as a record though it came out in the mid 1980s. An original Japan CD with very good sonics for the time. One of his best IMO.

John Patton, organ; Junior Cook, tenor sax; Jimmy Ponder, guitar; Clifford Jarvis, drums.

it's funny. sometimes when i listen to this i think 'how old fashioned and boring'. other times, like today, i think 'how timeless and lovely'. this is surely a paradigm that other listeners wrestle with from time to time.

 

Cedar Walton Trio, Quartet & Quintet – Cedar! (Prestige Records / OJCCD)

Can't see the picture.

It's there now!

 

disc 5

 

John Zorn / Masada – First Live (Tzadik)
— With Dave Douglas, Greg Cohen, Joey Baron; recorded live at the Knitting Factory, NYC

 

to complete a trilogy, of sorts...

 

What do you think of it Lon?

 

I'm digging it. Moran, Pattituci, Harland. That's it for accompaniment. Guy sounds a little like a Joe Williams for this century. He slips a bit here and there because he ain't grizzled yet, but he keeps right on these slow grooves which ain't easy. REALLY nice recording.

 

I'll be picking this one up for sure.

 

Cool.

Right now, SMH-CD


My new interconnects broke in and everything sounds really good.

 

yeah, i snagged it too. have yet to spend any real time with it, but it sounds like a progression from his prior work - at least to my taste.

 

trying to match lon's coverart size.
couldn't help sticking with my prestige-miles-non-first-great-quintet theme. 'quintet/sextet' was sounding so choice and then *poof* it ended...

 

So is that a good thing? I was not familiar with him at all until someone (perhaps you?) posted that album cover which is a great homage (IMO) to classic Blue Notes and drew my interest.

 

Progression is improvement in this case imo. I haven't heard full albums from him before but I like this one more than other bits I've heard.

 

I certainly agree that progression is improvement, but progression from dreck to so-so doesn't say much. No offense intended to Jose, just not familiar with his work, although I have enjoyed the songs from this album I've heard on Youtube, and also the mini "making of" video on there as well.
