I'd never heard, nor heard of this album before but saw a clean copy at the store this week for <$15 so how could I say no? As the title makes clear, this is Sonny Rollins w a big band Did he ever do this before or since? Im not a very big big-band fan man but I love Sonny and the sound of his horn on this album is dynamite. Side 2 is more up my alley featuring a Rollins style trio w no piano, and Henry Grimes on bass! This 1959 album is on the metro jazz label, MGM's (short lived?) attempt at a jazz imprint. My only other album from them is also a sort-of novelty, "keeping up w the Joneses" with all the Jones brothers and a bassist named Jones playing songs also by people named "Jones". That record is really great though, maybe I will pull it out for a spin and post about it.

The People Could Fly - CAMILLA GEORGE (Ubuntu Music) CD Recorded on 4th - 5th January 2017 at Fish Factory, London. New music to me from Nigerian born Camilla George who is is now based in London. "They say the people could fly. Say that long ago in Africa, some people knew magic...and they flew like blackbirds over the fields" - Virginia Hamilton
The Golden Flute - Yusef Lateef (Impulse!) CD with Yusef Lateef (flute, tenor & oboe), Hugh Lawson (piano), Herman Wright (bass), Roy Brooks Jr. (drums). Recorded 1966. The CD sounds great and was re-issued in 2004 in a digipak with a pull out sheet that gives interesting explanations why the tracks were chosen. Apparently Yusef Lateef does not play on track 8, Head Hunters. This is a great album and one that I like it a lot. It features two original compositions, and seven cover versions.
Strange cover for not mentioning Albert Heath. Looks like a quartet not a quintet if we were to take the album cover alone at face value.
Possibly because some tracks have Albert Heath on drums, and others have Jimmy Cobb. I forgot to mention in my post. If the cover had listed all the musicians involved, then it would have looked like a sextet!
Ah, well that makes sense. Personally, I wouldn’t have put any names on the album cover except for Walter Benton Quintet and the album title Out of This World.
This is the third thread I've seen this posted in. Is that not just a bit redundant and unnecessary? I don't want to be rude or pushy but it makes me think I'm reading threads repeatedly. I don't think multiple posts add to the forum. Just seems like clutter...
Andrew Hill, Dizzy Reece, Howard Johnson, Joe Farrell, Julian Priester, Lenny White, Robert Northern, Ron Carter, Woody Shaw – Passing Ships (1969)
That's one view, of course. On the other hand I actively avoid those threads, so I'm not seeing any repeats at all (nor would it bother me if I did). Fwiw I'm not the only one to avoid those other threads. And with a gazillion Beatles & Monkees threads I don't consider another Blue Note vinyl post a problem and certainly not clutter. I have NO intention in buying yet another "definitive" Blue Note reissue and so I only see @SJR 's posts when he posts on this thread. I enjoy seeing them. Great to see that he's diggin' the music so much Hope he and others continue to post here. I'd love to see what Jazz you're actually listening to as well.
