What's Spinning

That’s a great album, used to spin the CD quite a bit when it was originally released, haven’t listened for years, but I really loved the songs..

This is honestly one that I overlooked when it came out. I really dug this spin though. Kind of took me back to the sound of those early 2000's Montreal cafés I would go to. It has a sort of Sade x Thievery Corporation feel to it, in a good way. I'll be coming back to this when I'm in a downtempo groove mood.
 
Woody Shaw- In the Beginning

It’s kind of a rare set but i highly recommend it to Shaw fans and those that like the mid 60’s sound of modal jazz like the records Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock were putting out. I mean just look at the group he was leading: Joe Henderson, Larry Young (piano!), Ron Carter, and Joe Chambers on side one, Herbie Hancock replaces Larry Young and Paul Chambers takes over for Ron Carter on side two.

This was Woody Shaw’s first stab as a leader and was recorded as a demo disc to hopefully secure a recording contract (presumably for Blue Note) but unfortunately that didn’t pan out and he didn’t release an album as a leader until Blackstone Legacy on Contemporary, five years later (1970).
