    Hiya mahlerfan,

    I’m not usually a great admirer of the vibraphone & marimba featured here but with ‘Dialogue’ Bobby Hutcherson is in top form.

      The Swedish show of the recent Kurt Rosenwinkel tour (whose stop in London I attended).

            Lionel Hampton 'Ring dem bells' with Johnny Hodges and Cootie Williams 1939 and that very dramatic intro to Cootie's great solo.

              Les Double Six (of Paris) featuring the hugely talented Mimi Perrin mid 1960s :
              Coltrane's "Naima"


              Their "Sings Ray Charles" with Jerome Richardson's group is also a favourite of mine.

                  That is a great track but the piano solo is by Carl Perkins not Elmo. The sleeve notes as far as I know have never corrected the personnel error. On the three Elmo Hope compositions only 'Origin' has Elmo on piano. Brilliant Perkins though and Elmo's solo on Origin (previously unissued) is equally brilliant.

                    I was wondering if you acquited the solo Hussan CD that was released a few month's ago. They seem to be rehearsal tapes which have been scrubbed up. I cannot recall reading a review albeit there seemed to be plenty written prior to the release of the album.

                      Yes I bought the double cd of solos as you probably gathered these were not intended for release so its a bit of a 'warts and all' production. I have lived with the album for a few months and it does have lots of inspired adventurous playing but you have to put the work in to get the most from it. To its credit its not 'easy listening' and its fiercely individualistic music. I would imagine with your love of Bley, Hill and Nichols you would find it interesting.

                      Here's Hasaan's take on Monks 'Off Minor'

                        Glad you liked the track, elmo and thanks for your correction & 'Origin.' Should never trust personnel given in sleeve notes!

                            Sonny Rollins Quintet, 1957 - "Sonnymoon for Two", the first recording, with Jimmy Cleveland, Gil Coggins, Kenny Dennis etc. From a strange LP (Sonny is only one one side) when I presume Sonny was out of contract. It's assured and more than hints at later "Sonny-isms".
