He is listed on Discogs as one of the founders of Revelation, who issued Carmel Jones Returns above.

Rare stuff, not listed in Lord. The Revelation LP pctured above was his last release as a leader, a first originally unreleased album from 1960 was issued by Fresh Sound. https://www.discogs.com/release/7028074-Carmell-Jones-Quartet-Previously-Unreleased-Los-Angeles-Session

The Best of Cal Tjader was released before the last two Verve LPs, Hip Vibrations and The Prophet, and does not cover all of his Verve labums.

👍 - as LP from 1973 on my shelf ...

Joe Farrell “Outback” CTI King Jazz cd 500×449 26.2 KB Another killer band. Joe Farrell – tenor and soprano saxophone, flute, alto flute, piccolo Chick Corea – electric piano Elvin Jones – drums Buster Williams – acoustic bass Airto Moreira – percussion

Woke up in the cool stillness and enjoyed the sound of the birds and trees for a few minutes. I love living out here by the forest. Yesterday I pulled Joe Farrell CTI discs from the shelves and am starting with “Joe Farrell Quartet” on CTI, King Jazz cd. The great team of Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette anchor this one, and the fourth member is either Chick Corea (three tracks) or John McLaughlin (who appears on two tracks only). There are two duo tracks with Joe, one with Chick and one with Dave.

World’s oldest marathon runner, Fauja Singh, dies at 114 after being hit by a car.

@greggery peccary will do the September BFT - in fact, he has the files ready to go! Thom, can you please reach out to him?

Used only OTA until 2020. Bought FireTV Recast to record, but they stopped supporting it and then it started to breakdown, but OTA is still available to us - tho an added extra problem is that we've had to often get on the roof to adjust the antenna every few years (by lowering it) because of the ever increasing number of cell towers that interfere.

We finally cut the cable (Xfinity) early this year and switched to YouTubeTV for a fraction of the cost. Not only that, they carry more channels that we actually watch than the cable company (who BTW kept raising prices and taking away channels). I actually think the picture is better, too.

I'm happy to have all these Pacific Jazz sides

QUITE alas.

Sun Ra Celestial Love - original LP but my copy has a yellow label

wish they'd put out the expanded Joe Daley Trio set that seemed likely at one point, but alas...

This is what they are saying on the site: So I guess end of July.

He posted here for a while as JWH. That label did some meaningful reissues as well.

This is a late 60-album, and Hawes had changed with the times. I love this album, but also dig his earlier Contemporary work.

For whatever reason, I never saw The Prophet in the record stores. I remember well Verve's Best of Cal Tjader, which I'm guessing was released shortly thereafter.

Just listened to this one: The last of his Verve LPs to be release, although it was the next-to-last recording. A basic quartet with Tjader, Joao Donato on a Farfisa organ, Red Mitchell, and Ed Thigpen recorded the basic tracks in California, Don Sebesky was sent the tapes and lead sheets and had strings, voices, and fluegelhorn and flute overdubbed a few months later. His arangements are tasteful, but I would love to hear the quartet without them. Donata on organ was a perfect match for Tjader. Some perfect summer evening music. Sounds easy, but play music like this on such a tasteful, professional level before downplaying it as lounge music. One of my favourites. On CD only in Japan, btw.
