Fred Jackson - Hootin' 'n' Tootin'

Although this comes from 1962 (Jackson's only session as a leader), it sounds more like later Blue Note, given the soul-jazz focus.

Regardless, lots to enjoy across the two sides.

Features Jackson (tenor), Earl Van Dyke (organ), Willie Jones (guitar), Sam Jones (bass), Wilbert Hogan (drums).

Oscar Peterson, “Motions and Emotions,” 1970 on MPS

Oscar Peterson covering “popular” tunes, including “Yesterday,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Ode to Billy Joe.” I know some folks will find this schmaltzy but as an Oscar Peterson fan I really enjoy it.

My copy is the 2018 reissue in the Ambassadors for MPS series, on 180g vinyl pressed at Optimal GmbH and an insert reproducing the original master tape box along with liner notes by Till Brönner, the ambassador to MPS in this case.

Bud Powell, Time Waits (The Amazing Bud Powell, Volume 4), 1958 on Blue Note

Powell joined by Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack NJ, and produced by Alfred Lion. Sleeve notes by Leonard Feather.

My copy is the 2022 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series reissue, pressed at Optimal GmbH and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent – wonderful pressing.

The second Japanese white label promo of Somethin' Else, which came in a King Record sample record sleeve. This 1977 pressing also sounds superb.

The first of two Japanese white label promo copies (1976 and 1977 pressings) of this 1958 classic album I received yesterday. It sounds superb.

Her story is what we in Australia call ‘bullshit’.

Reasons to love Australia. My comment of the week goes to Anthony Albanese the Australian PM, on the baby wombat debacle. What a funny, brutal, and flawless response…

“They are gentle, lovely creatures… I suggest to this so-called “influencer”, maybe she should try some other Australian animals, maybe she should try a crocodile.

Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there…”

Just been reading about “influencers” after the baby wombat debacle. If these are the kind of people others aspire to, then lord help the next generation.
Be your own person, form your own ideas, and be influenced by people from history who really count. Being obsessed with the idea of making money from tacky advertising or inane trivia isn’t a character trait I particularly admire.

I definitely feel a poll coming on…

Pity we didn't jail her first. Do not give her another visa entry ever.

We need to filter out the good Americans from the sociopathic trash like this.

Walter Davis Jr. - Davis Cup

1958 session by Davis, and his only as a leader for Blue Note…which is hard to believe given the quality of the release. Davis didn’t lead another session until…1979.

He’s joined by Jackie McLean (Alto), Donald Byrd (trumpet), Art Taylor (drums), and Sam Jones (bass).
