Joe Henderson - Page One (Blue Note) 1988 cd Holy moly this cd is thirty years old! I'm a little tired of Blue Bossa. I think I've just heard it too much. I really enjoy hearing the rest of the album. Kenny Dorham is superb. What a team.
NP Art Blakey - Indestructible (Blue Note) Music Matters 45 RPM Pressing Ph yeah, this is the shizzle! One of his best? Curtis Fuller is the secret sauce in the Messengers. When he's in the line up special things happen. He makes the great even better.
I am glad you said that! I can't really listen to My Favorite Things any more. When I first started listening to jazz, this was one of the albums I got. I don't think I played it any more often than say, Giant Steps or Coltrane Jazz, but these hold up much much better for me. I, too, can't see why this album is so highly regarded. Coltrane is like Miles; all of it is worth listening. But I have problems with the very late free Impulse stuff...
NP Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis (Blue Note) Analog Prod 45 RPM Pressing Gettin' greasy with Lou and Grant and Baby Face Willette. Rump shaking action.
Kenny Dorham - Una Mas (Blue Note) Music Matters 45 RPM Pressing Back to Kenny Dorham and Joe Henderson with a young Tony Williams.
Freddie Hubbard - Here To Stay (Blue Note) Music Matters 45 RPM Pressing Everyone but the trumpet and drummer on Blakey's Indestructible. Wayne, Cedar and Reggie.
WP: Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz (Stereo A-2 60s press w/Bell Sound stamper) Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth (AP 45 reissue) John Coltrane - "Live" at the Village Vanguard (Mono A-7 original w/RVG stamper) NP: John Coltrane - Coltrane (AP 45 reissue) This is the Impulse AS-21 record, not to be confused with the eponymous record on Prestige. I'm reading Ashley Kahn's very interesting The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records, and listening to what I have while I go. Very fun.
Joyous Encounter Personnel: Joe Lovano: Saxophone (curved soprano, soprano, tenor) Hank Jones: Piano George Mraz: Bass Paul Motian: Cymbals, drums
Wp Miles Davis- E.S.P. (MoFi) 45 RPM Pressing NP Elmo Hope - Last Sessions Vol.2 (Innercity) I've had vol.1 for years and was pleasantly surprised that there really was a vol. 2 when I ran across this copy a year or two ago.
Thanks to Lonson I am slowly making my way through Lotus by Santana and enjoying it. I think if you put the instrumentals from this on a play list of tracks from the On The Corner box set and Live Evil some would have a hard time differentiating between the Miles and Santana tracks.
