A Blissful playthrough of my chaotic collection

#167 Ryo Fukui ~ Scenery

 

[Selaws]

Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl (Virgin, 1989 First UK Pressing)

Elvis apparently stated that Orbison has the greatest voice of all time. Random fact but I can certainly see where hes coming from, super unique!

#168 Ryo Fukui ~ mellow dream

My collection #323

Doors - L.A. Woman

Probably my favourite Doors album, and sounding very nice on this German first pressing.

 

[Selaws]

Hampton Hawes - For Real! (Contemporary Records, 1984 UK pressing)

One of my favourite from Hawes. I always feel he's massively underrated as a musician. Some superb sessions were put out with him as lead, and this is one of them!

 

[Mr Moore]

Albert Ayler - My Name is Albert Ayler (Freedom, PA-9709, Japan, 1975 reissue)



I love Albert’s introduction on this album. He’s so softly spoken, it’s not how I imagined him to sound at all. Great set recorded in Copenhagen with European backing.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

My collection #324

Zakri Noel

Last time I was in the magnificent Superfly Records in Paris, they recommended I check out this wonderful funk album from Cote d'Ivoire. Super glad I did. Can't wait to get back there when this all goes back to normal...

#169 Ryo Fukui~ My favorite tune

 

[Mr Moore]

Marion Brown Quartet - La Placita: Live in Willisau (Timeless Muse, TI 314, 1979)



Makaya’s dad, Steve McCraven is the drummer on this and it appears the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. He really belts out a cracking solo towards the end of this first track.

Marion Brown Quartet - La Placita: Live in Willisau (Timeless Muse, TI 314, 1979)

View attachment 42185

Makaya’s dad, Steve McCraven is the drummer on this and it appears the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. He really belts out a cracking solo towards the end of this first track.

I went on a Stephen McCraven rabbit hole the other month. Even ended up chatting to the free-jazz bassist Joe Fonda and he contacted some of his friends to see if anyone had a vinyl copy of 'Up From The Sky' which McCraven appears on. I will have to track down that Marion Brown now!

 

[Selaws]

Matthew Halsall - On The Go (Gondwana Records, 2016 first pressing with bonus tracks)

One of my favourite modern pickups from last year, great music throughout! I saw that he is playing at the Barbican later on in the year (well, he was supposed to be) and I was really tempted to get tickets, they're just so damn pricey!

Jar of flies/Sap

#111 - Ofege - Try and Love

#RIP Paul Alade

RSD 2017:

Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia - Side Trips Vol 1
Round reissue

Basically a free improv jazz record. Jerry’s guitar tone and style are still pretty distinct, so probably still in the wheelhouse of most Dead fans.

Today’s spins:

 

[Selaws]

Stanley Turrentine - Comin' Your Way (Blue Note, 2020 Tone Poet Pressing)

Tone Poet killing it again.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

My collection #325

Novos Baianos - Acabou Chorare

I just found out that the main singer and songwriter for this masterpiece, Moraes Moreira, died a few days ago from a heart attack. RIP. This is one of the best Brazilian records, and sound fantastic on this Mr Bongo reissue.
