"The Complete Capitol Live Recordings of George Shearing" Mosaic Records cd 1

Great sound on this box set (mastered by Malcolm Addey)--the Capitol recordings of this era almost always sound excellent. Nice breezy feel to the music.

One of my favourite records of the 1990s, the Misha Mengelberg Trio's No Idea (DIW, 1997). 

In my head, it sits right next to similar classics by Lacy, but this one in particular is Monkism as extremist provocation.

Milt Jackson and the Gold Medal Winners "Brother Jim" Pablo cd

Quite a band! They are enjoying playing together.

Neuringer/Dulberger/Masri – Dromedaries II (Relative Pitch, 2020)

Really hot stuff, and recommended for those on this board who don’t mind it free.

Now on to this one: 

Historic Concerts (Soul Note, 1979) by Cecil Taylor and Max Roach

Eric Kloss' Consciousness! (Prestige, 1970)

There's been some mention of this recently which inspired me to dig it out. A really great album, with some of Chick Corea's best playing.

EABS "Discipline of Sun Ra" cd

Well, it's mastered hotter than I'd like a cd to be. That said it's a very interesting listen, an updated Sun Ra sound, recorded with a smoothness one could wish some of the Sun Ra recordings were.

I don't usually get into what a friend of mine calls "Ra-souleum" material, but I'll be returning to this one. A good recording to test tube rectifiers with!

"The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of the Chet Baker Quartet with Russ Freeman" Disc 1

I forget sometimes how intriguing Russ Freeman's piano playing was at this time.

Which type of Ra's music would that be? The moog-heavy excursions?

I agree, jazzbo.  

Your comment prompted me to pull this CD off the shelf:

Russ Freeman & Shelly Manne - One on One (Contemporary, rec. 1982)

No, it's music done by others after his death. Tributes, bands inspired by Ra, etc. His take on "Mausoleum."
