t/s: battle of the electric postbop protokozmigroovers - eddie harris vs eddie henderson vs donald byrd vs freddie hubbard vs bobby hutcherson

I find no fault in doing so! Used vinyl leaning towards the cheapish end for now, but going up (just like everything else!). Worth every penny, I'd say.

this Calvin Keys album that was reissued recently is so great: https://www.discogs.com/master/592769-Calvin-Keys-Proceed-With-Caution

have been really rockin hubbard's keep your soul together lately

How has Grant Green not been mentioned yet in this thread? Alive and Live At The Lighthouse are both in the pantheon here. Also Herbie Hancock's Fat Albert Rotunda.

(I'm definitely going to check out Solo/Quartet based on Austin's write-up... I'm only familiar with San Francisco and Montara)

not exactly the right thread for this, but then again i can trace the discovery of the opening tune here back to cooldix's march 2020 post. so here's my covid summer jazz mixtape, which i gave to a friend and promptly forgot about until tonight while rummaging through old cassettes in his basement:

https://soundcloud.com/arquivo_fssr/covid-summer-jazz-mixtape

1. bobby hutcherson - gotcha
2. binder quintet w/ john tchicai - közép-európai zajongások (excerpt)
3. dave holland and sam rivers - conference of the birds
4. chico freeman - kings of mali
5. harmut geerken and john tchicai - invocations for angels and demons
6. don cherry and latif khan - airmail
7. wendell harrison - where am i
8. ?
9. the pyramids - black man and woman of the nile

props to anyone who can help me ID track 8. starts around 46:40, it's a live recording with like a bongo solo, then a flute joins in, and then a band comes in briefly before it fades out.

I never really considered checking out that Solo/Quartet album (solo vibes? from 1980?!), but listening to "Gotcha" now, I realize the error of my ways. I should have just trusted Austin.

Heh, ok, I guess I did consider it.

eddie henderson - say you will

this is music from heaven

Nice. Now that I have a working turntable setup at home again I'm scooping up some Eddie Harris records, because you can always find them cheap and they always have some delights. Last one was Live at Newport, which has 1) a fantastic drum sound (with conveniently naked samples on the second track) and 2) at least a few bangers, including a cool 'reed trumpet' solo.
