Mose Allison, Middle Class White Boy, 1982 on Elektra Musician

First of two Mose Allison LPs out on Elektra Musician (the other was Lessons in Living) and (per the jacket notes) the 19th Mose Allison album. Allison plays Yamaha electric piano as well as traditional acoustic piano.

Allison is supported by Joe Farrell (tenor sax, flute), Phil Upchurch (guitar), Putter Smith (bass), John Dentz (drums), and Ron Powell (congas, percussion). Produced by Esmond Edwards.

My copy—via La Fin Du Vinyle in Montréal Québec—is a Canadian Cinram pressing (CR on label, Mfd and Distributed by WEA Music of Canada Ltd).

Stone Flower is the sixth studio album by Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Stone Flower Review by Thom Jurek

...Take, for instance, the title track with its stuttered, near imperceptible percussion laid under a Jobim piano melody of such simplicity, it's harmonically deceptive. It isn't until Lookofsky enters for his solo that you realize just how sophisticated and dense both rhythm and the chromatic lyricism are. The album closes with a reprise of "Brazil," restating a theme that has, surprisingly been touched upon in every track since the original inception, making most of the disc a suite that is a lush, sense-altering mediation, not only on Jobim's music and the portraits it paints, but ON the sounds employed by Taylor to achieve this effect. Stone Flower is simply brilliant, a velvety, late-night snapshot of Jobim at his peak.

The Last from Lennie's is an album by pianist Jaki Byard's Quartet recorded in 1965 at the same performances that produced Jaki Byard Quartet Live! and (apart from one track which was released in the 1960s) first released on the Prestige label in 2003.

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Ronnie D. Lankford Jr. stating, "the quartet recordings on Last From Lennie's are bursting with creative energy... Like all good vault releases, Last From Lennie's reminds listeners of just how good Byard and his bandmates were". A review on the All About Jazz website stated "The pace never slows over the album's 62 minute length. At the conclusion of "King David," I'm exhausted!"

Joe Farrell Quartet (CTI, 1970)

Farrell kicked off his strong CTI run with members of Miles' electric band: Corea, De Johnette, Holland, and McLaughlin, whose song Follow Your Heart (formerly Arjen's Bag, and futurely Soft Machine's Day's Eye) alone is worth the bargain bin price I paid.
