    I like playing Bobby Timmons solo on 'This Here' again and agin. The man had found his calling. Actually kind of the high point of the album for me.... [​IMG]

    Clifford Jordan's big band with Play What You Feel on CD

    With Junior Cook, Charles Davis, Benny Powell, Dizzy Reece, Dean Pratt, Joe Gardner, Don Sickler, Kiane Zawadi, John Jenkins, Lou Orenstein, Willie Williams, Robert Eldridge, Ronnie Matthews, Ed Howard & Tommy Campbell. Very nice live set recorded at Condon's NYC in 1990 but not released til '97, about four years after Clifford passed away. The solos are nice but the rhythm section seriously cooks, especially Tommy Campbell on drums (who's Jimmy Smith's nephew). If you like live big band stuff this is one to get, especially if you find it cheap in the used bins as I did.

    Too bad this isn’t on Apple Music. I would love to check it out, but that window is closing, before it gets added to a list of things to do after thanksgiving in 2018...

    AxiomAcoustics "The enemy is listening"

    One of Doug Sax' last cuts, of the IPI, paired with SoCal's The Bruery "Nine Ladies Dancing", year nine of their 12 years of christmas series. This was last yoaer's, Ten Lords A'Leaping is out for this year. We buy one for the 12 year flight, one for immediate consumption, and one at one year out. Modeled after Tiramisu with cacao, vanilla bean and coffee, twisted through their Belgian yeast. Brazen. Effervescent. Smooth. Complex.

    Just like the beer.
    :cheers:

    AxiomAcoustics "The enemy is listening"

    RE: A Dreamer's Christmas. It's excellent and readily available for $15, replete with 'mini LP' gatefold, insert, stickers etc. It's also available on vinyl....yes friends, The Dreamer's Christmas on wax. Either way, get the physical artefact, it's nice to marvel at.

    AxiomAcoustics "The enemy is listening"

    First year in cans. I prefer the bottles (especially @$16.99) but the "present" packaging is cool. Need to kill these before the 25th. How's that Monk set?

    no problem. not considered their best album either- some of Passport's earlier records are really nice.

    If you liked the packaging and sound of the Miles 10 inch Prestige box set I think you will be very happy with this set. I am enjoying mine.

    Have you tired the Wussie by Arrogant Brewing yet?

    Eric Dolphy - The Illinois Concert

    Have avoided this because I had wrongly assumed it might sound "off" given its unique recording history, but astounded that instead it is dynamic and inviting, with only a few charming idiosyncrasies. Picked it up based on some recommendations I've seen around this forum.

    Happened upon Iron Man and Conversations in their CD reissues on Restless Records / Metrotone, and have been enjoying those as well.

    What are the notable Dolphy releases left to hear outside the following list?
    • Outward Bound
    • Out There
    • Far Cry
    • Out to Lunch
    • At the Five Spot Vol. 1–2 + Memorial Album
    • Iron Man + Conversations
    • The Illinois Concert

    I saw Tommy play with Dizzy & with Sonny Rollins. Not a "name" player, but excellent.

    How about Dolphy's non-leader dates? Just in case you don't already have them (I'm guessing you do),

    George Russell - Ezz-Thetics (Riverside, 1961)
    Booker Little - Out Front (Candid, 1961)
    Mal Waldron - The Quest (New Jazz, 1961)
    Ken McIntyre - Looking Ahead (New Jazz, 1960)

    are all essential, imo :thumbsup:

    Also, the Eric Dolphy - Live in Europe set you might like, though they're not quite the standard of the Five-Spot recordings.

    I tried to get my hands on anything Dolphy related and though I don't love everything, for me the only real disappointment is the album with the Latin Jazz Quintet - Caribe. The only Dolphy album to put me to sleep :hide:
