Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona (1995)

Such a gorgeous album! Have to revisit it right now, after seeing your post!

Other than that, spent the last few days listening to Andrew Hill's 1969-70 recordings for long hours - fascinating stuff!

Gary Bartz - There Goes The Neighbourhood (1990)

Interesting title, given the accompanying cover image and the events that would occur 11 years later.

Bill and others - if you like the live Cannonball series, and if you're ok with a recording that is, in part, technically a bootleg, definitely jump at this! Most of the four sets preserved here range from "pretty good" to "borderline great", but in the last 3-4 tracks of CD2, the band kicks it up to the highest of high gears, that exalted level you can only get in the all-time-great live performances. Especially I'm thinking of CD tracks 7 and 8, "Tengo Tango" and "Easy to Love," where Cannonball lays down two of the most awe-inspiring, lightning-fast solos I've ever heard. Darn near made me late for work because I couldn't get out of the car!

"Tengo Tango" and "Easy to Love" were on the original Riverside album that this is "borrowed" from, although about 70% of the 2CD set above was not on the Riverside version:

re: Cannonball, check out this site:
http://www.cannonball-adderley.com/
the discography, though album-based (never a good idea, methinks) is really helpful ... the Tokyo recordings are some of my favourite of his, and he's a favourite in my house, bigtime!

re: Cannonball in Japan 1963 ... official releases wise, there's also this (omitted on the site above, alas):

I guess with that and "Nippon Soul", you'll have most of the material, but I don't have time for a track-by-track check right now.

If anyone had told my proud teenage-self I'd ever voluntarily listen to an album sounding like this, he'd have been declared mad right there and then ... but hey! Marcus Miller was great even back then, don't think I ever heard anything by him pre-Miles (he plays on three tracks, other musicians include Onaje Allen Gumbs, as well as the late great Masabumi Kikuchi on one track - it's his presence that made me curious enough to buy this in the first place).
