  1. Jazztodon artist of the week: Julian Priester! Trombonist Priester was a member of Sun Ra's big band, recording several albums with the group, before leaving Chicago in 1956 to tour with Lionel Hampton, and he then joined Dinah Washington in 1958. The following year he settled in New York and joined the group led by drummer Max Roach, who heard him playing on the Philly Joe Jones album, "Blues for Dracula" (1958). While playing in Roach's group, Priester also recorded two albums as a leader, "Keep Swingin’" and
    Spiritsville.” In 1969, he accepted an offer to play with Duke Ellington's big band, and he stayed with that ensemble for six months, before leaving in 1970 to join pianist Herbie Hancock's fusion sextet. In the 1980s, he became a member of the Dave Holland's quintet, and also returned to Sun Ra's band for a few recordings. Priester continues to record albums under his own name.

  2. Clifford Jordan - "In The World" (1972)

    This is the Japanese P-Vine 45rpm 2xlp reissue of Clifford Jordan's classic, originally issued as part of Strata East's Dolphy series. What an incredible lineup of musicians.
