What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Jazzrook]

Booker Little with Don Friedman, Reggie Workman & Pete La Roca playing 'If I Should Lose You'.
Booker was 23 when he recorded this during August, 1961 shortly before he died.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

This may be of interest (and rarity). Compliments of Organissimo.

It's the Hank Bagby Soultet, recorded in NY in 1965. The interest to me is that Bagby (tenor sax) co led a group with Elmo Hope out on the West Coast in the late 50s. Interesting how these things intersect. The album "Opus One" (his only recording) is on Protone.
No, no idea!

*Now I see more likely recorded in LA.

Gil Evans

Into the Hot.

Seems marvellous to me, but what do I know ?

Edit, it seems that this isn't even by Gil Evans.
Jazz.....Bloody Hell... as fergie might have said.....

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

As a spin off from the Hank Bagby record above...

Here's Frank Zappa in 1961 eh? A recording of Take your clothes off and dance, straight bossa jazz, with Chuck Foster, the trumpet player on the Bagby date. Apparently this band was made up of hired studio players....

Seconded on all two!

Lucky Thompson with a French group in 1956 with a nice 'Birth of the cool' type tune and orchestration - Lucky was a great tenor (and soprano) saxophone player.

JR Great choice of album, Red Mitchell's Bass solo on this track made my day.

A track from the recent previously unissued Harold Land 'Westward Bound' album from the year later (1962) as 'Hear ye!!

Thanks elmo - you've prompted me to order a copy of Harold Land's 'Westward Bound'.
Here's another overlooked West Coaster, Horace Tapscott with Arthur Blythe, David Brown, Walter Savage Jr. & Everett Brown Jr. playing 'Your Child'.
It was recorded for Flying Dutchman in 1969 but the album has only recently been released:

JR This is costing us a bomb, I have just ordered up the Tapscott. I have got the previous Flying Dutchman session by this band " The Giant awakens" so really pleased this new session has become available.

Playing this today - Ornette Coleman at Manchester Free trade hall in 1966 " The Fifth of Beethoven"
I wish I had been there; I'd have loved to have seen this trio.

Yes, we'll both end up bankrupt at this rate!
Fortunately, I already have the Ornette Trio at Manchester.
I was lucky enough to see their UK debut at Fairfield Halls, Croydon in 1965 - the greatest jazz concert of my life.
Here's 'Ballad' from that concert:

Wow -That Croydon concert is legendary, right place at right time. My greatest is probably a Joe Henderson gig at Ronnies in 1968 when he had an incredible night where he "lifted the bandstand", not jazz but equally great Jimi Hendrix at the Albert Hall in 1969.

This Session is due to be released on Oct 7th titled Ornette Coleman Trio Live 1965/1966 on the Equinox label. It's probably a boot, sound is poor but music is good as you would expect.
