1) JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA - Alice Coltrane - Impulse 180g LP. First album of 2013.
2) GIANT STEPS - John Coltrane - Rhino Heavyweight Box, LP. A great album, arguably among the best 3 jazz albums.
3) COLTRANE's SOUND- John Coltrane - Rhino Heavyweight Box, LP.
4) RIFFS- Jimmy Lyons - Hat Music LP. Jimmy's playing is wonderfully clear and articulated.
5) METAMORPHOSIS - Arthur Blythe - India Navigation LP.
6) BALLS - Peter Brotzmann - Cien Fuegos LP.  Less "balls to the wall" than one might expect.
7) VARIOUS COMPOSITIONS - Wytold Lutoslawski - Berlin & Hamburg S.O., Arthur Gruber, cond. Candide LP.

9) CITY GATES - George Adams-Don Pullen Qt. -Timeless LP.
10) IN C - Terry Riley- Bang on a Can- Cantaloupe CD.
11) THE TRIP - Art Pepper - Contemporary LP. Art got me started in jazz, still dig him.
12) LIVE AT THE EAST - Pharoah Sanders - Impulse LP. If they haven't made this into a CD yet, they should, or maybe a 180g LP reissue.
13) THE BOLOGNA TAPES - Elton Dean - Ogun LP. Excellent album.
14) THE CHEQUE IS IN THE MAIL - Elton Dean (Joe Gallivan on synth), Kenny Wheeler- Ogun LP.  Different than "Bologna" but quite fine in its own way.
15) NIGERIA 70: SWEET TIMES- Afro Funk, High Life, and Juju from 1970's Lagos - Misc artists. 2LP Strut.  Terrific music, very well presented.
16) DETTO FRA DI NOI: LIVE IN PISA, 1981- Schlippenbach, Parker, Lovens. PoTorch 2LP. Absolutely fantastic double album.  They come roaring out of the gate from the first note. One of my better LP finds!
17) BORBETO JAM- Borbetomagus and some free jazzers.  A good free jazz album but not a Borbetomagus album. Cadence Jazz LP.
18) HIP TWIST - Shirley Scott - Prestige LP. (So. Washington label).
19) APPLECORES - Sunny Murray's Untouchable Factor- Philly Jazz LP.  Just what you would imagine a Sunny Murray jam would be. I found out that Philly Jazz was a local label, based in Silver Spring.
