2 storming big band covers of Milestones and Naima. Lumark Gulley (drums) must surely have graduated with honours following his contribution to Milestones. Watch for goosebumps ... Fierce.

Private Pressing, Direct to Disk.

Only one track, but in my opinion, the best one from this little known album. Emergence features the talents of Ron Oates on piano and clavinette, Randy Goodrum on Fender Rhodes and Sheri Kramer / Diane Tidwell on vocals. I won't list all the artists here, however, i noticed Billy Puett is in the mix on reeds. Billy Puett played a major part in the Earth Blossom album by the John Betsch Society (Strata East 19748) He wrote 2 of the tracks on that lp, Ra and Get up and Go. Darling Doria from that lp can be found in the zipfile as well.

Jazz Patterns ... pt2

Finally.

It's taken a bit longer than i expected due to a busy week, but here is the second part of Jazz Patterns. The first instalment appears to have gone down really well, and thank you for all the comments.

There are 2 tracks here, firstly, an extended version of Invitation (there is an alternative version on the "In pursuit of blackness" album) Also, there is a killer version of Lofty, highly recommended.
