Just noticed the album cover lists 5 of the 6 sextet members. Guess the drummer wasn't famous enough to go on there. He's some nobody named Max Roach

Not sure, may be a contractual thing? He was with Mercury/EmArcy at that time, though not exclusively it seems, as he made an album each for Argo ("Max") and Riverside ("Deeds Not Words") in 1958, and one more for Time ("Award-Winning Drummer") a year later. Still, from 1956 to 1960 it seems he was signed to Mercury. Though on the back of the original LP (as seen on discogs), there's only a notice about Johnson taking part courtesy of Columbia (now J.J. Johnson's Columbia recordings - not the one with Kai Winding, but all the others! - are quite something!)

Lately, been on vacation for a few days, found time to listen to some great stuff, too:

Upon my return, a couple of things had arrived that got their first spins in the past days (had the entire week off, but got home on Wednesday, as I had a ticket for Rudolf Buchbinder on Thursday):

The new ones from Resonance are nice. I think the Wes is their fifth instalment, a very worthwhile enterprise for sure! You get quartets (g-p-b-d), organ trios (g-org-d) and sextets (Dave Baker-tb and Dave Young-ts added, plus a bass - just two tracks) on the first disc, and on the second disc a whole lot of p-g-b trios. Line-Ups (other than the two horns) are unknown, there's some guessing going on in the liner notes. Melvin Rhyne is prob. the organist (and likely on piano on other cuts), the brothers Monk (b) and Buddy (p) are possibly involved, and so are Carl Perkins, Earl Van Riper, John Bunch (p), Mingo Jones (b), Paul Parker and Sonny Johnson (d). The Bill Evans is an audience tape, but it's listenable and the music is pretty darn good! This to me is kind of the "default" Evans trio that sometimes bores me a bit (Fantasy albums, too many of 'em), but this release (like the previous Resonance set by the same trio, "Live at Art d'Lugoff's Top of the Gate", rec. 1968 and thus even earlier in the band's existence) is yet again a strong case to question that judgment!
The Togashi discs are nice, the one with Steve Lacy more down my alley, but I thought I'd just get both (they are subtitled "Paris Session" Vols. 1 & 2, rec. a week apart in Paris in November 1991). Got quite a few Togashi discs lately, with some mighty good bands (more with Lacy, but also with Don Cherry, Masabumi Kikuchi). The new Art Ensemble then is a bit of a mixed bunch, we get an extended group with a few more horns and a full string section (several of them were part of the Roscoe Mitchell w/strings group that I saw on tour a few years ago), the second disc has the band in a fine concert, the first has a dozen of mostly shorter pieces, including three with poetry read by Moor Mother and three more including a (classically trained, it seems) male singer. Takes a moment to get used to, but as a sum of what the group was and is about, it's very convincing, I found. Also it does have a different air from Roscoe Mitchell's own projects, which are somehow, I find, more focussed, high-energy things, while here you get the openness of the AEoC, that Chicago vibe that just lets things happen, not forcing anything ... I love both, and I'm happy to have this as another strong late work, next to "Bells for the South Side", Mitchell's opus magnum released on ECM a couple of years ago.
Also played these, first spins in the case of the two Dizzy albums (that "Concert of the Century" I found while browsing through discs in la feltrinelli in Milano, wasn't aware of it, it's a great document for sure, Dizzy in fine form, James Moody on fire, Milt Jackson, Hank Jones, Ray Brown and Philly Joe Jones riding and driving them along) and the Peacock:

The Dizzy at Onkel Pö is good fun, very groovy ... Schneider's own is terrific, I was a bit less fond of the recording with the SWR Big Band (one of the remaining - I think there at least still four or even more! - german radio big bands, they're technically good, but often a bit too clean for my liking, and with Schneider, while clean is okay, you need a lot of feeling, lyrical qualities, that most folks propably can't just turn on by pulling a switch) ... the new Blake/Lee is amazing, as was to be expected. It needs more time to really sink in, but I just love that duo!
