Just getting caught up...

The first one is a disappointment, although I might like it on a subsequent listening

Cannonball Adderly Big Man
Joe Williams, Robert Guillume vocals

...and another disappointment, unfortunately...

Freddy Hubbard Windjammer
Just a little too 80's for my taste, but again it may grow on me on subsequent listenings. The playing is good, just a bit too Chuck Mangione in feel.

A Little Taste

Sorry, more listens wont help. I was just having this discussion with another member after posting my disappointment with Turrentine's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" from '75. It's one step away from elevator music. The gist of our conversation was how artists had to go mainstream in the 70's/80's in an attempt to find an audience for jazz, and just ruined the music.

Oh well, another $5 down the tubes

Guess that's what makes the great finds so great, like this one...

Dakota Staton The Late Late Show (but I think it might have been $12

)
