Re-playing this very good sounding disc, in part because I like Spalding’s involvement and in part because Harrell’s trumpet sound always reminds me of that of my best friend in Texas, Dave Laczko, a fine trumpeter and human being.

Jackie McLean’s ’bout Soul, clearly not soul-jazz, more along the lines of avant-garde of the mid '60s. A rather strong example from Jackie and friends, Also, a rather rare release.

Village Mothership, an October 2021 release from Whit Dickey, Matthew Shipp, and William Parker. A strong offering not to be missed.

Pretty cool album. May be rare on LP, don’t know, but I have had three different cd versions over the years and kept the most recent.
Indeed, a very cool album. Finding a reasonably priced clean LP of it these days will be expensive. For those that stream it is available on Tidal, and worth a listen.
Jazz book bargain alert: amazon US has this for 5.98
Swingin’ The Blues - The Virtuosity of Eddie Durham: Vol.1 (hardcover) Hardcover – February 10, 2021
by Topsy M. Durham (Author), Dr. Albert Vollmer (Editor), & 3more
This volume in the series is great–all either Commodore Records sides (I have all three of the Mosaic Records LP sets) or V-DISCS and every performance features Pee Wee Russell as a band member, and that’s a great thing, plus lots of ERNIE CACERES!

For those keen on straight ahead contemporary female jazz vocals this is the ticket.
Nice piano work to boot.

My wife selected this for a mid-morning listen, and my she has impeccable taste. Her comment being, let’s listen to some more of that! Featuring Bill, Paul and Joe, as in Evans, Chambers, and Jones.

Love this album but something odd about the recording. Volume is very low with the vocals way in the background. BTW: this is a digital copy (Chesky, DSD128) playing through Roon. Wonder if a vinyl copy would sound different?

Like many Chesky recordings it is binaural, recorded with a dummy head and therefore best heard on headphones.
