Going through the list of stuff I've been meaning to listen to since August or so, working to this one this morning. Like it a lot!

The Mighty Burner! (or one of them at least)

It's so good, I'd never heard this before and picked it up on a whim. Melvin Sparks is really great on gtr here.

I needed a little more organ jazz in my life today.

jvc, I often get confused between Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff, both of them masters on the organ. I once found a copy of McGriff's "The Worm" at the beginning of an LSD trip remains a prized possession because I carried it around with me all day.

it’s a fun tracklist, opens with “are you experienced”

then “3rd stone from the sun”

the sound quality is... not amazing

Sorry, missed this one, but that sounds like a ringing endorsement for that album and I have added it to my list to seek out. Thx.

Awesome riffage.

ah sleeve, that Älgarnas Trädgård album is great! i first heard of it on the NWW list, i think

Razor - Open Hostility

algarnas tradgard rule. the guest vocalist on mojligheternas barn/children of possibilities later released an album with backing from arbete och fritid which i really like, though way more strictly speaking in the folk realm. also this.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61MTLFOK1GL._SX425_.jpg

There's a 2nd lp or compilation of Algarnas Tradgard taht i saw advertised a decade or so ago.
I had a track from th e1st lp pop up on my walkman while I was out during the time my phone was outof order so I wasn't listening to podcasts.
Been way too long since I listened to the cd through. THink I was turned onto it by Julian Cope.

There's also another lp by th epairing of John Renbourne and Dorris Henderson from right around the same time and with a similar feel.
I think I have both but need to look. Think both were quite good. Well Renbourne is almost inevitably and Henderson hasa really good voice. I think she wound up in the Eclection though I'm not sure tehy recorded with her.
John Renbourne Group lps are also pretty good, or utterly sublime one of those.
