Riverside did some absolutely fabulous Jazz, but what I've been concentrating upon lately is the Impulse catalog. Unbelievably great stuff...one of the most important (in my 'never humble in the least' opinion) being Oliver Nelson's "Blues and the Abstract Truth."It will surely expose my ignorance when I admit that up to now I haven't really paid much attention to the Impulse label, though I do have a few excellent Impulse LPs (on which, more in a later post).
At a used book store this afternoon (why do I always seem to be shopping for used things?) I came across this book:
I'm looking forward to reading it over the holiday weekend. I'll have more to say about it next week.

A superb book, it will get you excited about Impulse LPs.
ReplyDeleteYour first should be Coltrane, "Live at the Village Vanguard." If you can listen to the first cut without getting weepy-eyed, you are one tough cookie. Definitely, at oleast for this white boy, an "I'm black and so blue" type piece of music.
I've been listening to a lot of music such as that lately, Nina Simone's "Pastel Blues" on Phillips is powerful stuff.
Just thought of another Impulse LP to search for, it's been reissued but I think it's one of the more important Jazz LPs so you should seek out Oliver Nelson's "Blues and the Abstract Truth."
