    Oli Brown - Here I Am (new album just released).
    Ooh - another one? Either he is prolific, or I discovered him late...this must be the third album in a year or so! Is it any good?

    I must admit I preferred his second to his debut (which wasn't by any means shabby).

    Bill Evans Trio - Live at Newport 1967

    I don't think I've ever heard Philly Joe Jones with Evans before. He certainly pushes the band along unlike any other on Evans' drum stool.

    Harriet Tubman - Ascension
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    And tonight's lullaby is courtesy of Jackie McLean, ably assisted by Ornette Coleman on trumpet - New and Old Gospel.

    A great album. One of McLean's best, along with Destination Out.

    Little Feat - The Last Record Album & Feats Don't Fail Me Now

    Iain Ballamy - Food

    A wonderful jazz/electronica album, beautifully recorded, with the great Arve Henriksen on trumpet. Saturday lunchtime bliss :-)

    Van The Man - Veedon Fleece
  • JimJim
    Oooh, digging that one out now. Love it!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    One of my very favourites by the great man.

    I wonder if anyone else will join us?

    Apart from Them singles on the radio and Brown Eyed Girl I reckon Veedon Fleece was my first exposure to himself.

    It was released in 1974!!!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    My real exposure was in 1980 when I had a flatmate who had the lot, as well as all of Beefheart's output.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Prince Lasha/Sonny Simmons - Firebirds
  • JimJim
    I have all his output now. Never been sure about Beefheart? Didn't he pass away recently?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I'm impressed.

    I'm a massive Beefheart fan, even if I don't have much by him. Yes, he did.

    Do you know the Lasha/Simmons?
  • JimJim
    Nope. Never heard of her/him/they?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Both alto players, somewhere around Dolphy/Jackie Mclean (in his freer moments). Recorded in the early 60s, it's a minor masterpiece, according to many people. I think I agree with them.

    Simmons appeared again in the mid 90s, after 20 years or so living on the street in San Francisco after some kind of breakdown, if I remember rightly. I don't know what happened to Prince Lasha.
  • JimJim
    Big Dolphy and McClean fan here. I'll hunt those guys out
  • JimJim
    I've been drawn to some more Van.

    TB Sheets

    Which I understand within a few years of its release he disowned. Never knew why, I really rate it. Not the best sound quality though.

    That was why I wondered if you knew it. Simmons' post-comeback albums are worth a listen, too, sometime under the band name Cosmosomatics.

    I know of it, but I don't think I know it.

    As a late Art Pepper completist, I've got that! :-)
