Hey SJR, I got family visiting our siblings in Victoria right now. I have a brother in Oak Park and a sister in Jacana! Last time I was in Melbourne was in '06. Best regards.

And yes, your postings are always great!

 

Hey, thanks for enjoying my posts!

That’s cool — they're not too far from where I am in Brunswick!

 

Walter Bishop Jr. - Coral Keys (1971)

 

It sounds great since the recording crew includes Shawn Murphy who recorded a lot of great sounding scores by James Horner and John Williams.

 

Lee Morgan - Sonic Boom (1967)

 

Dexter Gordon - Clubhouse (1965)

 

Clifford Jordan ‎– Dr. Chicago
Label:
Bee Hive Records ‎– BH 7018

• Acoustic Bass – Ed Howard
• Drums – Vernell Fournier
• Flugelhorn – Red Rodney (tracks: A2)
• Piano – Jaki Byard
• Tenor Saxophone – Clifford Jordan
• Trumpet – Red Rodney (tracks: B1)

Recorded August 3, 1984. Song highlights are when Red Rodney joins the quartet, esp on Touch Love, where he plays off of Byard so well. The other track he's on is a 12 minute version of Ellington/Strayhorn's Something to Live For, another great track from this LP.

 

(LP Prestige Victor Japan "Prestige Jazz Masterpiece Series" SMJ-6608(M)) 1979 .... recorded July 27th, 1956 @ Van Gelder Studio Hackensack .... often dismissed as loosely organized Jam Sessions with with rather variable outcome this Prestige date shines from the very beginning throughout - no wonder with both Hank Mobley and Kenny Dorham in peak form .... btw Doug Watkins (!!) .... superb sounding Victor Japan vinyl press from the late 70`s ....
