Howard Riley CBS reissues


RogerF

Recommended Posts

For those who missed the original Sony reissues of these two classic Columbia releases, Hux Records have now got them both on a two-fer with new liner notes. Howard Riley's 'Angle' and 'The Day Will Come' are exceptionally good albums and received four star awards in the Penguin Guide to Jazz. These were two of pianist Riley's earliest trio recordings from the 1960s and whilst hardly "mainstream" are arguably more (instantly) accessible, before he moved into more solo work. Riley's a great pianist and innovator and these are two of his very best. Release imminent - end November or beginning December.

Edit: Angle was 1969 and the Day Will Come was 1970, also Barbara Thompson guests on one track on Angle.

and Ichnos!!

yes please!!

love his work

Picked up both of those late 90's releases at the time when we had shops here in Brisbane that had a good jazz repertoire

His recent Lithuanian "No Business" releases "Solo In Vilnius" (2CD) & "The Complete Short Stories 1998-2010" (6CD) are highly recommended IMHO
