Playlist, Week of 2019-07-07

Jazz in Detroit is primo late-period Mingus... almost four hours' worth of top-notch playing, with Don Pullen shining throughout... plus a strong addition to the available discography of John Stubblefield, who hasn't been featured nearly enough, considering his beefy tone and commanding presence... the only thing missing is Dannie Richmond, but that's not to slight the wonderful drumming of Roy Brooks... it's great that these recordings were saved by Brooks' widow for posterity... I'll have much more to say about the new Braxton quartet release after I absorb it, but suffice it to say for now that it's marvelous...
