Ray Anderson: Bonemeal

The trombone with a wicked sense of humor. Bonemeal is clever take off manifested as several allusions. Bone is a nom de plume of the trombone, Ray Anderson's weapon of choice.

Red Garland (Jazzland / OJC OJCCD-1064-2: Red's Good Groove
by C. Michael Bailey
When Red is Blue. And Red is always blue when he records. Death, Taxes, and Red Garland playing the blues— One can count on all of these things. Red's Good Groove was recorded in early 1962 by the Miles Davis nucleus of Garland and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Sam Jones replaces the ubiquitous Paul Chambers ...
Milt Jackson: Soul Route
by C. Michael Bailey
Two late great bluesmen. Soul Route is a funky little confederation that brings together perhaps the two most sensitive blues sensibilities in jazz on a single recording— the late Milt Jackson and the late Gene Harris.

The Dom Minasi Trio: Takin' The Duke Out

Simone Guiducci (Splasc: Django's Jungle
by C. Michael Bailey
Not your typical tribute disc. Not a tribute disc at all. The beauty of Jazz is its honest universality. Jazz may be the only “art" where postmodernism, as a theory, can exist in a pure and unharmful form. If, as postmodern though dictates, the “text" in itself is meaningless and only the “group" consuming the text ...

The Beginning of something beautiful. Koch Jazz is beginning to release a good bit of the old Vee Jay catalog. Preceding this release was Bill Henderson's His Complete Vee Jay Recordings (Koch Jazz).

Little Feat: Late Night Truck Stop
by C. Michael Bailey
July 19, 1973, Ebbetsfield Colorado. I am not sure of the propriety of this release on Pilot Records. The Little Feat Ebbetsfield Concert in 1973 has been a famous bootleg since it appeared. Recorded for radio, Late Night Truck Stop represents a complete Little Feat set. However it got into commercial production, this set is an ...
