Has been circulating as a bootleg for 15-20 years.
if you have Live in Seattle you know what to expect in terms of the music. Coltrane is great but I have mixed feelings about the rest of the ensemble
Well I know that one bootleg but I doubt it’s that. Audio quality is so immensely bad I don’t think even the best engineer could make something out of it. And I don’t see Impulse! releasing such a product.

Qobuz has Patterns available as a lossless download for only $8.99. I may have to get this.
Oh yes you do! You won’t regret it.

Listed as being on Impulse, and being a 2LP set (no CD?). Color me skeptical, as no place else mentions it, even the Impulse web site.
Nah cd as well. I don’t see Dusty Groove as a shop that lists a recording that does not exist.
-
Oh boy what’s this?
https://www.dustygroove.com/item/992329?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date
completely new record or was this released as a bootleg before?
-
Patterns is an amazing record and yes the whole album is as good as the title track. It took me quite a while to obtain a copy. It’s pretty rare both in vinyl and cd. Still don’t understand why they did not select it for the Tone Poet series.
-
My favorite Stitt album besides ‘Tune Up’ and ‘Constellation’ is the session with Bud Powell and JJ Johnson. Also: Personal Appereance on Verve.
-
Well it’s always a wild guess with things like this isn’t it? Maybe the copycat issue has something to do with it. Maybe the fact that Dexter signed up with Blue Note?
-
No issues here with the Tone Poets as well. Got 5 of them and they all sound great. Same goes for the classic series: nice pressings without any issues.

Tuesday night.
I also pre-ordered the new CD.
Great to see Billy playing again. Haven’t heard anything about his situation since last incident.

- That’s Art Pepper for suede. Such a distinctive sound. And Garland for sure at the piano. It’s with the Rhythm Section.
- Wow, trombone isn’t really my favorite instrument but this guy plays lovely. Is this JJ Johnson? I do like Johnson. Tune is It Never Entered My Mind. But the one At The Opera House with Getz is one where JJ does not play.
- Sounds ECMish. Don’t know the trumpeter. Definitely not Stanko nor Enrico Rava. Is it John Abercrombie on guitar? Not necessarily my kind of thing but definitely not bad.
- Tune is Angel Eyes. Lovely piano playing. Something in the Wynton Kelly/Red Garland tradition. It’s not them but don’t know who it is.
- Guitar has an America airy feel. Is that Bill Frisell? Don’t recognize any of the others.
- That’s Gil Evans. Cant say which album from the top of my head.
- Not a clue. It’s someone who could do a pretty good Monk impression and with excellent technique.
- No idea and don’t dare do make any guesses. I do know I like it.
- I’ve got this on CD for sure. That’s Kenny Garrett on alto sax. Got it: it’s from Geri Allen’s The Nurturer.
- Nice but I really don’t have a clue. Maybe some later work by Walt Dickerson?
- Don’t know but sounds like a typical Prestige/New Jazz/Jazzland/Riverside jam. Lovely playing but it has been done so many times.
- Oh boy I love this. Dolphy isn’t very hard to miss. Sounds like John Lewis on piano. Don’t know the album but I know these guys worked together muldtiple times. Need to get this ASAP!
- Could be Bill Frissel in musical style not but not in playing style. Don’t know.
Lovely selections again. Thanks for another lovely BFT!
-
Miles should have had more vegetables.
-
Great selections Tom, much to my taste! I feel the same about Vandermark. Thanks!

Got my second Pfizer today 💪whole family is now vaccinated except my pregnant wife. For the reason she is pregnant but also because she already had Covid.

Japanese Mercury pressing. Love what Jimmy Heath is doing here. Same goes for Don. And Herbie… and Tootie. I just like this record a lot.

Later contemporary of Joe, on a different path.
Definitely Bluiett adjacent. This one is going to give fits on the ID because it's incomplete.
Agreed, and correct. I wanted to include a track and needed something uptempo -- this seemed to fit.
This missed for several folks. This guy is one of the few "modern" writers I really enjoy (keys). I'll agree to disagree on all of the horn players on this, but especially on the soloist (though it is NOT his best work -- not ALL of our work can be that, right?
).
Correct. This is a newer release, ID'd above.
I took this from the Mosaic set for this band, ID'd above.
THAT's the response I was looking for! It *was* ID'd (which gave me fits -- I figured this was one of the tougher ones). Band leader has an interesting story.
Neither, but certainly a band content with either of those comps.
Indeed! I remember not caring for this album outside of this track (which I bought separate in this digital age), but may have to revisit it. Just felt it wasn't any of the players "best" work (to refer back), but I should give it another shot.
It is not. This album has made multiple appearances in BFTs over the years.
Agreed. I find much of this album more accessible than a lot of the stuff that was released earlier, which seems odd. No matter -- LOVE me some Tapscott.
Thanks!
Will post the reveal tomorrow AM.Great blog, by the way!
Thanks Tom! I will hold myself back and just wait for your reveal tomorrow

Late but better late then never. I go in blind like I should and read as little as possible in the topic. So forgive me for saying the obvious or making horrible mistakes.
1. I. am no vocal jazz lover but this guy could sing. He sounds pleasant. Nice band. Can't say I recognize any of the players. Tenor sax player sounds like he was influenced by Joe Henderson but it's definitely not him. Great pick.
2. That sounds like a contrabass clarinet or something like that. Only guy I know who plays it is Anthony Braxton but this is not Braxton for sure. Maybe Hammiett Bluiett? But I don't think it is. Nice bluesy feel.
3. Bop in a new jacket? Or is it an old jacket? This is from Eddie Henderson's last record. Nice but he has made more exciting stuff.
4. No idea. Shirley Scott? I am not really into organs. Sax player sounds like one out of a dozen. This is track is a bit too smooth for me.
5. This is James Newton. I've heard it before but can't remember what track from what album it is. I love me some Newton.
6. Nice composition. Can't recognize any of the players.
7. No idea.
8. Sounds like a European band to me. Or perhaps Roswell Rudd on trombone?
9. Newk! Is this the band with Stanley Cowell on piano? It must be from the '70's.
10. I do not know a lot of flute players. Same goes for vibe players. Is the vibes player Steve Nelson? Nice track.
11. This is Tapscott for sure. One of his last released records. Recently ordered it. Fantastic music.
I found this one pretty difficult. Great selections though thanks Tom

not Pure Pleasure. Very high quality reissue, working with the man himself on getting it out.
I'm traveling for work but will try to post up some good shots when I get back in a couple weeks. We moved three months ago and I can safely say everything is out of boxes and into some sort of shelving situation.
Thanks Clifford looking forward to it. Both the release as the pictures

for what it is worth I know a little more about the Alkebulan reissue. It's a slow process but afaik it is still happening!
Really? That would be so great. The sound of my bootleg version suck. Who make me really curious. Who is going the reissue it? Is it Pure Pleasure?
1 hour ago, clifford_thornton said:My apartment in Brooklyn had 11' ceilings and I was able to do shelves much like TTK's setup. All custom birch ply shelving, floor to ceiling.
Now as I'm in the Hudson Valley and living in a house, the LPs are in a couple of rooms to spread out the load and not put undue stress on the floors. It's not as impressive at first glance (and I'm still working on the feng shui) but the contents are what matters. It's a modest size collection of about 6,000 LPs and 2,500 CDs.
Forgive me my voyeurism but I would really want to see some pictures of that collection!

Pim,
Those framed album covers look NICE.
Rather than framing a few favorites, I made a ledge-like shelf -- like the bottom lip of an old-fashioned chalkboard -- where I can set LPs. That way, I can easily change what's on display. Often, when I bring home new (or, more likely, "new-to-me") LPs, I'll display them for a while, so they get some regular spins. I'm always tinkering with what's up there, moving stuff around. It's fun.
When friends who aren't jazzheads come to visit, they usually don't recognize many (any!?!) of the musicians. I'm sharing these pics with you guys because you'll likely recognize them all!
My "man cave/music room" is narrow, long rectangle -- in the basement. This above pic is the short wall, one end of the rectangle
This is the long wall. My CD shelf is opposite this wall, and there's more LPs on shelves to the left of the Miles poster.
That looks great HutchFan. I like the thing you’ve done with the shelfs. Only artist unknown to me is Claudio Roditi.
1 hour ago, Rabshakeh said:I'm always interested to see how many other people have vinyl dens / man caves. I have always had my collection in a main room (currently in a glass backed cocktail bar in our dining room / kitchen that my wife designed for the records on a whim without telling me). It means that the number of records has to be kept down, and the records have to be sociable (although I have a "dark corner"), so it has never been a serious long term solution to anything, but at least that helps reign in my worst instincts.
I put on Interstellar Space, Albert Ayler and then the JCO and my wife immediately insisted I got my man cave
1 hour ago, Hot Ptah said:Since I have many boxes full of vinyl, almost all purchased between 1970- 2010, I could never put all my vinyl on a wall. There are thousands of vinyl records.
Also, my significant other does not like literally any of my music. She does not want to ever hear it, and definitely does not ever want to see it!
You don’t have to expose them all on the wall

Are these records you treasure too much to play? Or do you sometimes take them down and out of the frames?
I do treasure them very much but that’s why I want to play them
you could easily open up these:

No the vinyl is also inside. Well at the back to prevent from ringwear.

And there I was planning a raid on the original
Pure Pleasure surely will at some point
Aha! I did wonder as I had that Howard in my hand last month and put it back because the price was too steep. Is it any good?
Yeah I think it is but must admit that I have a soft spot for both Howard as Ali. It sounds exactly as what you may expect of those guys. Not a desert island disc but very nice music!

Nice display.
No sleeves on my walls. Too many art prints and exhibition posters so no room.
I see you have a copy of Mtume Umoja Ensemble! Also, what's first on the second row, can't make it out when I magnify
Yeah but it's a boot
still waiting for Pure Pleasure to reissue it properly. The other stuff is legit or even original of course The record you mention is Noah Howards 'Live at the Village Vanguard' on Freedom records
-
This is now the wall in my ‘man-cave’ where I can listen to my records without being disturbed by anything or anyone…
Are there more people who have framed some of their records. Some of the artwork really is art-work. -
Unfortunate I live on the other side of the Atlantic. Great titles!
John Coltrane - Love Supreme: Live in Seattle
in New Releases
Posted
I’ve got a feeling it is. Doesn’t ‘The John Coltrane Reference’ mention any other recorded Seattle concerts? Someone around here with that book?
