I first “heard” Marion Brown many years ago when I listened to Harold Budd’s brilliant “Pavilion of Dreams”, although at the time I didn’t know who he was.

Then, in a former life as a house DJ, I had a couple of 12’s by his son, Djinji.

Fast forward to not that long ago, I came across a reissue of “Vista”. I recognised one of the tracks, “Maimoun”, from the Heath Brothers classic “Marchin’ On”.

Since then, if I come across a Marion record I grab it. I think the final piece arrived today with “November Cotton Flower”.

Admittedly, some of it is a little too out there for my tastes; but all of it is interesting and creative and inspiring.

Have I missed any?

Pete Rock and Miles Davis side by side.
just realized the connection today

Brubeck album with instrumentation from father and son(s) including synth work that some would call cheesy (I call RAD.)

Didn’t notice until I got it home that it’s signed by the whole family.

$10.

Great deal on these Arcadia pressings, under $20.

Good morning of listening to some Byrd. As much as I like his later funkier stuff like Ethiopian Knights, I really like his earlier stuff.

Another great week in AAA jazz reissues! Birth of the Cool, Inception and Whistle Stop (which was actually last week but my copy was damaged so I had to wait for a new one). They sound fantastic. I don't have a vinyl copy of Birth of The Cool, but the Tone Poet sounds very different to the Tidal stream - it's much clearer, particularly the horns. It really doesn't sound like it was recorded in the 1940s

Hi all,

I’ve posted here a few times but I’m continuing my weekly live jazz livestreams. I acquired basically 5,000 jazz records and I’m selling them all off on whatnot. Starting bids of $3 on every record including what you see in this image and many more.

Tons of good picks tonight! Whatnot is free and shipping is cheap (and will auto bundle) Conditions vary but I give u all the info. Miles, Coltrane and much more tonight! Tons of labels!

It’s tonight (5/21) at 8PM EST. Join and pre-save here at Dat Dere link: https://www.whatnot.com/s/ijd1LfMd

Somewhere in between Monica Zetterlund and Astrud Gilberto there’s Lill Lindfors. This lush dreamy Scandi-Bossa nova record is just too cool. Lill with Swedish jazz legend Bengt Hallberg ’Mellan dröm och verklighet’. Swedish 70s midsummer night vibes pressed onto vinyl, maybe not everyone's cup of sill but Lill needs some love.

imo this record/album doesn't get mention enough often overshadowed by milestones, E.S.P, Miles smiles, or birth of the cool. Out of the many miles Davis fans l've talked too this one seemed to be mentioned the least ( although imo) it's an amazing record. And if you're a fan of one song bleeding right into the next than this album is insanely perfect. I love how each song bleeds right into the next to make this very seamless effect. I'm not saying this is his best obviously or my favorite .. though it's
definitely top 10 imo. but once again I will reiterate myself in saying this was actually my introduction to miles Davis so in a way it holds a very special place to me.

Anyways yea Imo this one doesn't get mentioned enough and it is definitely an amazing miles Davis album with the brilliance of Gil Evan's if you're looking to get into miles and want to stray away from the funkier stuff he did in the 70's and look to more of his "jazzy" stuff.. l'd definitely look into this one and also some of the titles i referenced above like "miles smiles", "miles stones" or
"birth of the cool"

Here is a great great West coast jazz album. This album in particular is a reissue by Blue Note. The album is a Pacific Jazz record label and was recorded from the analog master tapes in the original mono mix. It sounds amazing. This record was originally called The Playboys that had a pin up girl on the cover. However after a lawsuit threat from Hugh, the label renamed it to Picture of Heath after Jeff Heath who composed and arranged 5 out of 7 of the charts. If you have never heard this album, give it a spin!

Chet Baker and Art Pepper really run the show on this album.

Oh my goodness, I've been away from this sub and my record player for far too long. We're moving, so all this stuff is going to have to be packed up soon, so trying to get a couple good spins in beforehand.

This has been on my list forever but the Discogs prices have been too damn high especially with import duty. I was so…jazzed when Blue Note announced The Cat Walk was on this year’s Classic Vinyl Series. Byrd is absolutely incredible on this record, his playing goes from light and playful to devastatingly fast to perfectly timed and precise. If you have it, give it another spin. If you don’t, this is your PSA to call your local record store to order you a copy.

Man, Mal could hit those keys hard, especially in the 70s. His work with the Enja label, jazz stardom in Japan, touring Europe..

Picked this up recently. I have quite a lot of Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll, just found out Julie Tippetts is the same person so had to grab! Turned out to be some really beautiful Avantgarde Jazz with Julie’s usual signature, absolutely wonderful, almost Grace Slick-like vocals. 3rd and 4th photo are of some Jools albums you may be familiar with / have seen in the bins before. I highly recommend all of these really..

This is a recent pick-up and a bit of a blind buy. I was familiar with most of the names on the album but not together. Now I’ve fallen in love with it. I’d be into more recommendations like it if you got them. “For Che” is the track I skip back to most.

Edit: a word; also I just read that Charlie is Jack Black’s father-in-law. I don’t know what to do with that info.
