Also, looks like Solomon Ilori is still alive.

I've always found that Farrell album cover to be exploitative/creepy. But good enough album. As far as the two live sets, count me in for the CD's.

This.

Good Sunday Afternoon music for reading:

Yes, the CDJapan machine translations are sometimes quite humorous! Here's another gem from the Shaw post: "Woody Shaw recorded his album "Wim and Vigor" with Joe Farrell, known for its lost jazz cover"

Thank you, LIbrary of Congress! Tyner: "Inner Glimpse" , "Caravan" , "Ask Me Now" https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200161957/

Thx. Ace does have two other CD's of his early stuff, about another 50 tracks. I wouldn't mind having them, but am probably good with what I have in my world of finite time, shelf space, and money.

Actually, it would be a blast and very humorous! The exchanges between Dan and me are sincere reflections of very different tastes, but totally good-natured, and we converse offline fairly frequently, send each other music, etc.

Thanks, yes, from 'Capra Black', which seemed like the obvious album to represent me on this communal BFT!

The Ace CD with the bonus tracks is also what I have!

Quite a guitar player, and a fine singer.

I wish I had the requisite time and talent! McNeill had an utterly fascinating life, studying art with Picasso, designing a USPD postage stamp for Kwaanza, and being a quite celebrated photographer and a college professor in addition to his exquisite music.

Rodgers/Edwards/Thompson (Chic)

Totally comprehensive. Ideal box set.

Give me a book on Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell and Strata-East, and a book on Lloyd McNeill.

What a great foundation for a lasting relationship! It would have been 1961 with that group, the Morgan/Timmons edition was still in place throughout 1960 and into 1961.

Understood. 'Indestructible' just explodes into my head when I listen to it.

+ Mosaic , Three Blind Mice, Buhaina's Delight on BM before the Riverside's. His greatest group (and the trumpet change for Indestructible was fine, that's a killer album. Not gonna go wrong with Lee Morgan, though Freddie Hubbard was killer in that group).

Agreed, that was quite a group, but $16 for a 66-minute download? Pass.

Same here, sometimes many months later.

I have the Debut album (trio with MIngus/Roach) and like it plenty. How does her other music hold up if your tastes don't really extend to pre-bop styles except for the canonical master musicians?

I like it much better than I expected. Doesn't have that static rhythm too many Afro/Cuban sets do.

How good is it?

I treat at least parts of some song lyrics as poetry or, less often, prose. I own Dylan lyrics 1962-1985 book and the Springsteen lyrics book. Dylan's "My Back Pages", "Chimes of Freedom", those are poetry to me. Something like Norman Whitfield's "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and "Cloud Nine" and Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billy Joe" and Mann/Weil's "On Broadway" and Springsteen's "The River" and "Thunder Road" and "Racing in the Streets" are prose to me.
