What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Jazzrook]

Cecil Taylor with Earl Griffith, Buell Neidlinger & Dennis Charles playing 'Toll' from the enthralling 1958 album 'Looking Ahead!'. I always think of this quartet as an avant garde MJQ and wish they'd made more recordings.
The assistant at Dobell's gave me a quizzical look when I bought this album together with 'The Best of Little Walter' back in the 1960s!

He was probably looking down at your shoes: one stuck in leg irons with "trad" thereon embossed, the other in a bucket hand painted "new whitewash"!

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Clark Terry, with Mr Monk, "Flugelin' the Blues", a track left off the original Riverside "In Orbit" album of 1958. Nicely ominous opening with Sam Jones and Philly Joe. Them's was the days...

Bud Powell, Sam Jones, Philly Joe Jones, 'Monopoly' from "Time Waits" - Bud showing elements of Elmo on this track. This and JR's "Scene Changes" track (above) are much superior to the contemporary Verve albums.
