    I must admit this has happened to my wife an I a few times at restaurants or venues when approached from behind by a hostess or server: "Ladies" :sigh: I always lighten the scene by replying: "It must be my curvaceous bum". :laugh:

    :laugh: No worries man, at that price I'd cop it quick. I've been on the fence for a while now with the $90 full retail. Waiting for a sale.

    Man I miss this band, always a great time. I've seen them probably a dozen times, always in a small bar/club setting where the funk is think and it's easy to chat with the boys in the band.

    You're welcome, IIRC they appeared here first and then were added to the appropriate reissues...

    Ahmed Abdul-Malik: Spellbound

    Ahmed Abdul-Malik: Bass
    Ray Nance: Cornet and Violin
    Sheldon Powell: Tenor Sax and Flute
    Paul Neves: Piano
    Walter Perkins: Drums
    Hamza Aldeen: Oud

    Recorded in 1964 at Rudy's for the Status label after a fine run on Prestige/New Jazz. This is surprisingly more 'conventional' than some of his earlier outings but still infused with the modes and scales of the Mid East. One of the biggest contributors here to that sound is the Violin of Ray Nance, giving the proceedings a whiff of Gypsy/Romani music.

    Damn that's a fine album. I fear that the artist and title could keep some folks from missing out on an incredible session. Way more 'inside' and accessible than one would expect. (He said relatively.)

    1995 impulse!?

    I'm a big fan of Malik's albums as a leader and precisely for his Middle Eastern flavors and I don't have this one. There's one other that sounds more Oud oriented that I want, Jazz Sahara on Riverside but I've never seen a copy. I haven't checked online and probably should but I don't do too much of that. It might be worth a gamble.

    Derek BaileyMusic And Dance (Revenant)

    [​IMG]

    It's raining outside this morning. It seems like the right weather to play this Derek Bailey CD of live "duos" with dancer Min Tanaka. The first half consists of the work called "Rain Dance" which was recorded in an abandoned forge in Paris. As Bailey notes:

    "The site of our performance ... was not, in itself, particularly special, but when we played, the environment, as so often with Min, performed a significant role; La Forge had a glass roof, there was a brief burst of torrential rain, the roof leaked = RAIN DANCE."​

    In Full Cry: Joe Maneri Quartet

    Joe Maneri: Alto, Tenor, Piano
    Mat Maneri: Electric Violin
    John Lockwood: Double Bass
    Randy Petersen: Drums

    Joe held a professorship at the New England Conservatory since the 70's and is Mat Maneri's father. He was a major advocate, composer and teacher of microtonalality, using the 72-tet. Very interesting music, both beautiful and unsettling at times. Unfortunately he passed in 2009.

    Founder of the Boston Microtonal Society.

    One of the most unusual yet beautiful versions of "Prelude To A Kiss" you're likely to hear. Yes, a man and a music of contradictions.

    It's always nice to find out that you're not the only one who not only owns this but actually listens to it. A performance that demands attention, like a whispered conversation......

    Likewise, big fan here. This is an artist that I'd 'curate' if doing a Prestige/New Jazz reissue program ala APO.

    This one has some Oud as well and is fantastic if you don;t already have it.

    Loves me some Oud. I'm sure you've checked out Anouar Brahem?

    Joey Baron and Michael Sarin on the same album.....what more does one need? Well, the entire lineup is stellar, packed with NYDT stalwarts.

    Chico Freeman, THE PIED PIPER (Blackhawk), recorded in 1984. Chico Freeman (ts, as, ss, b-cl, b-fl), John Purcell (as, bs, oboe, a-fl, piccolo), Kenny Kirkland or Mark Thompson (p), Cecil McBee (b) & Elvin Jones (d). Mr. Freeman was absolutely on fire around this time - he made what I view as an undisputed classic, DESTINY'S DANCE (Contemporary), a couple years earlier and some other real strong ones in the period too like TRADITION IN TRANSITION (Elektra Musician, 1982). This one is a real pleasure from start to finish, and as is typical for Freeman's work covers a lot of ground, from more or less straight ahead, to slowly evolving mood pieces, to intense avant garde. you couldn't ask for a finer group of support musicians, and they do not disappoint. This one is a bit of a sleeper in his catalog, I guess in part due to appearing on the small Blackhawk label run by Dr. Herb Wong (little known outside of California), but it is most worthy of your attention.

    (CD Mercury Nippon Phonogram Japan PHCE 4001-10 ) .... Roland Kirk (ts, fl, manzello, stritch, siren) + Richard Wyands/Hank Jones (p) + Art Davis /Wendell Marshall (b) + Charlie Persip (dr) .... learned to appreciate this earlier Rahsaan Kirk session over the years - the leader holds back showmanship efforts and delves deeply into blues, soul and bop oriented material with superb support by both Rhythm Sections involved .... sensational sounding japanese Nippon Phonogram CD edition from 1990 ....

    Listening to this now, too --- November is such a great tune. Great production throughout. Like AxiomAcoustics stated - stellar lineup.

    Muchly agreed, November is really something stellar. But I really enjoy the uptempo tunes too, they make me wanna play air drums.
