WPI jazz history zoom -- definitely worth getting on the list for that. They play all kinds of unissued material (and some issued).
Thank you!

The NYT obit is pretty strong. Nate Chinen got it pretty well, though there's a lot more to the Jazz Composers Guild (no mention of Dixon & Taylor?). One reason among many that it dissolved was Sun Ra's opposition to a woman being in the Guild. But that's maybe a discussion for another day and another article.
Glad to have recently heard the early trio music with Bill Folwell and Steve Swallow. She was always an innovator even when she may not have thought so!
I am guessing said recordings are not available for general consumption?
Agree about the importance of the Guild and her role in it.

Sigh.
A person of incredible talent and integrity. She will be missed. But what a wonderful bunch of compositions she left us.

Paying close attention to Bob Cunningham's contributions this time around. Damn! Dickerson had a special relationship with bass players.

Ding ding ding! You are on fire! 🔥 Previous to this, I really only knew Schnitter from a live Freddie Hubbard record, but Roditi I knew even less about, and he sounds DAMN good on this session IMHO.
Wow, so that means Ed Blackwell on drums. I have to listen to this again, as that was not an obvious option to me initially.
I've heard some recent Schnitter, and it's quite good. I believe he has a release on Bandcamp. But it would be nice to have all those Muse LPs restored to circulation... to say nothing of the Jazz Messengers LPs he plays on.

Sonny Red's 4 Riverside dates are by turns enthralling, puzzling, unremarkable, and a portal to an alternative jazz universe in which all journeymen sidemen are leaders.

Thanks all, for your listening and comments so far! Again my apologies for not attending to my own party sooner.
Thanks! My ears surprise me sometimes!
EDIT: Now that Muse has been confirmed and I'm listening again... is this David Schnitter? Methinks it might me. If so, that means it might be Claudio Roditi on trumpet and Albert Dailey on piano. I'm even more intrigued now!

Did you enjoy this one? I'm really enjoying Courvoisier at the moment, but don't know this record.
Leandre is always a sell.
It's excellent; a true group effort. It might be the first place I heard Courvoisier.
