    maybe you will like Carter Jefferson "The Rise of Atlantis" on Muse.


  • Well, what *have* you heard? It's hard to recommend something that somebody's never heard when we're not aware of what you've already listened to.

  • All Mal Waldron
    Sonny Sharrock - Monkey-Pockie-Boo
    John Coltrane - Africa/Brass, Interstellar Space
    Sonny Rollins - East Broadway Run Down
    Art Ensemble of Chicago - Certain Blacks

    My fault. Basically, i'm talking about obscure, overlooked, or just plain underappreciated records that you'd recommend.

  • Have you heard anything by the swedish group Mount Everest? If not I think you'll like their first two LP's "Mount Everest" (from 72) and "Waves from Albert Ayler" (from 75). The latter was reissued on cd by Atavistic not to long ago.

  • Sorry, i meant not TOO long ago...

  • The finnish conducter maestro Olli Ahvenlahti did two incredible

    jazz funk albums during the seventies: Bandstand and The poet. Comes highly recommended .. in fact I'll post both if there is another record day comming?


  • i'd like to recommend wayne shorter - speak no evil. if you havent heard it yet, hear it. if you have heard it (which maaaaaaay be possible ), hear it again. and again. and again.

    Stan Clarke-Children of Forever

  • Dewey Redman 'The Ear of the Beholder'
    Heath Brothers 'Marchin' On'
    Jimmy Smith 'The Sermon'
    Art Farmer 'Farmer's Market'
    Art Blakey 'Ping Pong'
    Freddie Hubbard 'Backlash'
    Junior Mance 'The Soulful Piano of...'
    Ornette Coleman 'Skies of America'
    Abbey Lincoln 'Abbey is Blue'
    Lee Morgan 'Cornbread'

    and in general you can't fuck with Lee Morgan or Hank Mobely on Blue Note, Charles Mingus on Impulse (or any label), etc, etc. There's a LOT out there. In general I don't try to grab OGs on jazz cos its usually outta control $$$wise. I have a few things, but you can easily go broke trying to get yer lexington address on, OG Prestige/Riverside/etc, etc. But you can catch a lot of quality reissues used for pretty cheep, the whole 180g series from a minute ago, or japanese reissues from the early 90's. The OJC series from fantasy isn't the greatest pressings but they're also worth checking, better sound quality than Killa Kuts at least. Btw, wassup with those T-shirts? Its the new style, bootleg the bootleggers.

    $??

    Passport or any Klaus Doldinger stuff

    It is German based modern/fusion jazz I was introduced to it by an unoticed post on Real Headz originator thread. The guy has collaborated with all the greats: Byrd, Humphrey etc

    Wayne Shorter's "Second Genesis" on Vee Jay (maybe Shorter's 2nd Vee Jay LP?), kinda boppish, I have been listening to it again a bit lately & it is nice.

  • BamboucheBambouche 1,484 Posts

    This is great, thank yez Mr. Bambouche!

    Thank you, but I just realized the mix was incomplete (only about 20 minutes long). I've uploaded the full 54 minutes. If you're interested enough, you can download it again and get the full mix. My apologies.

    Passport discography
    nah, not really into Passport, or fusion stuff for the most part. thanks to everyone for the drops, keep 'em coming!



    some records i've been into as of late:



    Gary Bartz - another earth (Milestone)



    i'm not sure how sought-after this one is, but i always notice his post-"Harlem Bush Music" lp's getting picked up more than anything. this one's from '68 with pharoah sanders & stanley cowell. HIGHLY recommended!



    Joachim Kuhn - sounds of feelings (BYG/actuel)

    a highly underrated Actuel session i found recently.



    Creative Arts Ensemble - new horizons (Riza)

    very, very good early 80's local press rekkid. highly recommended.



    Arthur Jones - Scorpio (BYG/actuel)

    another underrated actuel joint. highly recommended.



    John Carter & Bobby Bradford Quartet - Flight For Four (Flying Dutchman)

    another real nice one. i'm actually going to try to post as many of these as i can in the real headz forum as soon as i have some spare time.



    Horace Tapscott - Live At I.U.C.C. (Nimbus)

    my favorite of the tapscott lp's on Nimbus (though there are a couple i haven't yet heard). real dope double lp (is there anything better than jazz double lp's?) of some local spiritual jazz. excellent.



    Roy Haynes Quartet - Out Of The Afternoon (Impulse!)

    great album. dig roland kirk's work on here. and grab the mono press if you can...


  • Mal Waldron & Eric Dolphy "The Quest" on Prestige.

    my favorite jazz LP of all time...also can be found as an Eric Dolphy title, with psychedelic bubble font on the cover..either way a must have. Also, practically recorded with the same lineup(one dude differs, but I cant rememebr off the top of my head) on the following day was Ron Carter's "Where?"LP, also very very good.

    No, no problems here. The one I downloaded this evening was 54 minutes long. Must have been after your correction. Saul gravy.

  • Particularly free jazz, spiritual jazz, or bop, that I may not own/have heard.

    Not sure what you've heard or not, but here are a few I wouldn't want to give up:

    Mtume Umoja Ensemble - Alkebu-Lan, Land of the Blacks
    Buddy Terry - Pure Dynamite
    Horace Silver - Total Response
    Clifford Thornton - Communications Network
    Jackie McLean & Michael Carvin ??? Antiquity
    Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio
    Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam

    And I'd say Eddie Gale's "Ghetto Music," but I've been having the hardest time tracking a copy down for a reasonable price. Anyone got a spare they wouldn't mind parting with?


  • Mike_BellMike_Bell 5,736 Posts

    Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam



    I read somewhere that this record is overrated. The $90 that it usually sells for is way too much. Are these statements fairly accurate?

  • Izipho Zam is a very nice record. FWIW I bought one from KidInquisitive's set sail for $60.

    Nice Brit jazz LPs BTW Francis.

  • nickjnickj 53 Posts
    I like Izipho Zan a lot, but I'd have a hard time justifying why someone should pay $60-90 for it over paying $10 for any of his other Impulses if they didn't have those already. At least that India Nav lp sounds fairly different than most of his stuff... as great as Izipho Zan is, it follows the same basic template as most of his Impulse lp's do.
