Hmm. Odd. I’ve looked for it before and not not found it on Qobuz. But it sure is there now…
Funky late 60s jazz, it was hard to find, but finally, Qobuz has it in their collection.
For me, it‘s Donald Byrd‘s best album, followed by ‚Ethiopian Knights‘.
Thanks for this. not my style of music, but I had never heard of Ogermann.
There is some fantastic music in here! Thanks for recommending.
Pleasure Coltrane - I love discovering music unknown to me, hopefully you enjoy that release.
One of the all-time giants of the Hammond B-3, Jimmy McGriff sometimes gets lost amid all the great soul-jazz organists from his hometown of Philadelphia. He was almost certainly the bluesiest of the major soul-jazz pioneers, and indeed, he often insisted that he was more of a blues musician than a jazz artist; nonetheless, he remained eclectic enough to blur the lines of classification. His sound - deep, down-to-earth grooves drenched in blues and gospel feeling.
A mid 1980s classic. Perhaps Zorn’s most accessible recording.
And in the 1990s John Zorn led Masada, perhaps the best working group of the decade. There are at least 20 Masada recordings and many other Masada related groups and recordings. Give any one of them a listen for a taste of the Masada world.
John Zorn - alto sax
Dave Douglas - trumpet
Greg Cohen - bass
Joey Baron - drums
Here’s one of the Masada offshots and an absolutely incredible recording:
Don’t know if any of these recordings are available on Tidal or Qobuz.
Lee Konitz passed yesterday aged 92. Of his albums in my collection, this one is my fav. Available on Tidal.
Odd - I have so much Zorn/Tzadik records, yet don’t have this Sonny Clark.
I can also highly recommend both Masada releases. I would start with Bar Kokhba - it’s both melodic & thematic. Very accessible!
I also like the bulk of his prolific Filmworks series.
Cheers.

And an absolute must have for any serious jazz collection:

Gonzalo Rubalcaba might just be the most underrated pianist in jazz today. All of his recordings are worth a listen.
Thanks for the Spirits recommendation Ralph.

Allmusic seems to think highly of this release (4/5); I’m ambivalent. I like Bacharach, not so sure of some of the interpretations or deconstructions. However, I am generally a fan of most things John Zorn. I say generally as his diversity & huge body of work is too voluminous to either know it all or like all of it.
