Very sad news. Passing of another Jazz legend. Enjoyed both The Clayton Brothers and Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra. LWayne

Horrible news. What a wonderful soul. One of my absolute favorites. Will be sorely missed! LWayne

Playing the Tolliver LP myself tonight. The record is more vibrant than the CD. LWayne Also playing some Miles tonight.

Not to come across as uninformed, but what was the "Black Fire" fiasco? LWayne

On my wishlist is getting a new box for the Andrew Hill set. This set was made at a time when Mosaic taped the hinge between top lid and bottom. Then they printed the name of the set on the back of the tape. After repeated use, and countless openings and closings, the tape has splintered and the box top looks awful. LWayne

Enjoy his playing on "Voices" and "Eastward" LWayne

Great session from a great group. All players at their peak! LWayne

I have not missed any of her releases either, This set is likely the best yet. Worth every penny! LWayne

Heard the preview on Facebook as well. Gorgeous music! Question: any additional tracks on LP vs. CD. Any reason as to why two vinyl records instead of one? Running time? LWayne

A fair review ! I would agree with ranking of "go to" recordings as well. But I will enjoy "Connect" nonetheless. LWayne

Alas, I was at the Saturday gig. Got to spend some quality time with Charles Tolliver though. Nice guy! LWayne

Agree with this review. Tolliver is solid throughout and I really enjoy the version of "Emperor March". Saw this group play in An Die Musik in Baltimore at the end of February and this new CD is very evocative of that set. Highly recommended! LWayne

Happy Birthday Kenny Burrell and best wishes for good health! LWayne

Also LOVE Kahil El Zabar. Have seen him perform in many different groups. Never disappoints. Hard to categorize his style, but certainly enjoyable! LWayne

Looking forward for this to drop on this Friday. No legal snafus like Monk's "Palo Allto", so hopefully not delayed... LWayne

Yes. Looking for something a little less expensive. Thanks, LWayne

Looking for a nice copy of Mile Reed "Flesh & Bone" on 482 Music. Released 2017. Seems to be hard-to-find. Hoping a fellow board member might be willing to sell/ trade at a reasonable price. Thanks, LWayne

To me, a VERY major figure. Not to say I like everything he does, but I celebrate his style. Very idiosyncratic. Instantly recognizable from the beginning that it is Jamal playing. LWayne

I don't understand why these major labels delay the releases. Given that there is not a lot on the market now due to the Pandemic, why not release it now rather than August? LWayne

Saw an interesting posting for upcoming CD on Hat Hut LWayne

Saw him many times over the past 10 years as he made Pittsburgh his home. He was definitely a "cool enough guy" Will be missed. Was beloved in the community as well. LWayne

Just announced by one of his bandmates that the great alto sax player Richie Cole passed away. No other details are known at this point. LWayne

Any URL links for sampling of the tracks? On the fence. LWayne
