Listening to this one again to start off my listening day. I had forgotten how prettily Zoot plays on the soprano sax. Like Barney Wilen he has a distinct and pretty sound on all the horns he plays.

I’m also really enjoying Tana’s subtle drumming. And Jimmy “the Lizard” Rowles. . . when I don’t hear him for a while he immediately impresses and grabs my attention with his grace and “thinking.”

Zoot Sims “I Wish I Were Twins” Pablo cd

Saw the cover and had to pop this in. It has all the right elements for this morning. . . great sound, great playing and interesting compositions.

Slober Pup joined by Mats Gustafsson. This can sound rather apocalyptic.

I think this was the first Kikuchi/Motian/Peacock trio recording , but under Kikuchi’s name. After this, they called themselves’tethered Moon’.

On the Evidence label.

I blame John Zorn for this.

I appreciate John Zorn for it as well as other items. I still enjoy Zorn’s Masada series, and the Spillane era releases. Peter Brotzmann had a hand in it as well, proceeding John. In jazz I seek ongoing change, which does not always provide comfort or success for that matter.

I’m sad to say I’d never heard of pianist Junior Mance until I saw his obit on TV Sunday morning. They played a cut from this album, and it sounded so nice I had to find it on Qobuz, and ended up buying the download.

I was thinking more of Painkiller…on the aptly named Earache label.

If you want to explore his work, my favorite work of his is on the piano bench in the Cannonball Adderley, Johnny Griffin, and Griff 'n Lock bands.

I had a hankering to hear “Lonely Fire.” And it sounds best on LP so I got out my OG 2 LP set.

WOW! Nice sound to this one, as if I am in an intimate jazz club. This is core collection Sonny Clark.

Oh boy. I really shouldn’t ask, but what version is this, and where did you get it?

701

It’s this one, from the “final series of RVG editions” from Japan in 2017:

I love this material, been listening to it for decades. My favorite version of those I have is this one, the complete version that has a second disc of other sessions:
