Notes:
– Catching up on my notes, so I’ll be brief. The highlights of this show for me were the following:
– The Duke Ellington suites (the Girl’s Suite from 1961 and the Perfume Suite from 1957) were the background music, and somehow I had never slapped this wax on the turntable. How could I have overlooked this one?
– Marzette Watts’ 1966 disk is really wild, and it has vibes (!) (Karl Berger), not to mention Byard Lancaster (flute and alto), Sonny Sharrock (guitar, and his first appearance on record), Clifford Thornton (trombone), Henry Grimes (bass), and J.C. Moses (drums). What a line-up! I believe Marzette only released two albums under his own name, and I’ve never seen the other one (evidently on Savoy, with Bill Dixon and Patty Waters).
– Mary Lou Williams. This 1977 LP, My Mama Pinned a Rose on Me, is one of her better later records, featuring mostly her own compositions.
