NP Cannonball Adderley- Cannonball's Bossa Nova (Riverside) Warmer temps returning so I thought I would play it cool.
A “real” dart board!! Would love to play a couple games of cricket, drink a few cold ones, and listen to some jazz! Looks fun!!
NP: Red Rodney - Superbop (Muse) Check the outfit! Redefining jazz cool. The music is a solid bebop set in service to Rodney's trumpet.
Yes a real dart board and it's going to stay that way. Wish you were a little closer, there's a nice bar too.
NP Geri Allen-Charlie Haden-Paul Motian - In The Year Of The Dragon (JMT) 1989 She may have left us too soon but she did a lot while she was here.
Thanks for the heads-up on this. I was unfamiliar with this group until now. Listening on YouTube and like what I am hearing. This album will probably go into my Bandcamp shopping cart this friday. Reminds me a little of some of the John Zorn Book of Angels discs.
...right on! Glad you like. Some of the same players are in the Menahan Street Band as well. In case you want to check them out.
...just about time, ain’t it? I’ve got pint in hand and playing some Monk. Cheers! Thelonious Monk – Thelonious Himself Label: Original Jazz Classics – OJCCD-254-2, Riverside Records – RLP-235 Format: CD, Album, Reissue Country: US Released: 1987 Genre: Jazz
I was thinking of picking up some of those Impulse MQA CDs everyone's talking about, but I got expensively sidetracked this afternoon. I took receipt of perhaps my best collecting acquisition yet (since I don't do too much crate digging), a pack of all seven 80's issued Horace Tapscott Sessions releases on Nimbus West. I ordered them from Soundohm, who was selling the set as new in shrink dead-stock for less per disk thank discogs had VG+ copies. I'm psyched to have these releases in such prestine condition, since they've never been reissued. I was so psyched in fact, that it inspired me to buy copies of everything in his discography that I didn't already own that where available for less than $50 an album. Now I only have five or six more releases to look for, and no money for Impulse CDs.... Been listening to volumes 8 and 9 of The Tapscott Sessions on Qobuz while waiting for volumes 1-7 to clean in the ol' US cleaner.
August 28 Real Gone Music (the legit reissue label not the cheapo budget label) is going to reissue three Black Jazz Records releases on cd and LP that I am aware of: Walter Bishop, Jr. "Coral Keys" Doug Carn "Spirit of the New Land" The Awakening "Hear, Sense and Feel" I pre-ordered these on cd happily as I'm not well-stocked on Black Jazz releases and like what I have heard. If anyone knows of more titles in this batch or upcoming releases etc. I'd appreciate the info. The label website seems to have no info about the three. Looking forward to these!
Great news! Love everything I've heard from that label. It would have been perfect for Mosaic to do a set for it like they did Bee Hive but oh well. The legit Real Gone does good work.
Good stuff. I have couple of The Budos Band and that Menahan Street Band along with a instrumental version of a Charles Bradley album that is the Menahan Street Band
