Oliver Lake - Life Dance Of Is

Oliver Lake - Life Dance Of Is 

Great album by a great band on a great label. Pheeroan akLaff and Anthony Davis are stellar, as expected, and Buster Williams kills it on Comous. Lake is determined and focused throughout, wearing the band like a fine suit around his tunes. Don't sleep on Michael Gregory's T-fon, either.

James Blood Ulmer - Black Rock

James Blood Ulmer - Black Rock

Oh man, if you can't find something you like on this record, I can't help you. A couple of power trios, a couple of sing-songs, a couple of free jazz boogies, and great playing from the core of Blood Ulmer, Amin Ali on bass, and the great G. Calvin Weston on drums. A stone classic.

Duke Ellington - Solo Piano on RCA Victor, 1941

Solitude / Dear Old Southland

Duke Ellington, piano solo

Recorded May 14, 1941

RCA Victor 27564

78rpm 10"

I picked up this recording in a batch of several dozen 78's I acquired with my cabinet Victrola out on Long Beach, WA a long time ago. The Victrola never got up and running, but the few gems in the 78 collection really shine. I don't imagine this particular recording is technically out of print, but wouldn't you like to hear it off the original 78? I would.
