That's right.

Thanks, I keep seeing his name and thinking 'must get that' as the vibes would be great in the line-up. Ho hum

I don't know how many takes they did that day, but when the tape stopped rolling on this one, surely everybody in the room (including the seemingly immortal Roy Haynes) must have known they had just recorded a stone cold classic.

Beloved platter ....

Oh yeah, Dușco Goicovici , I loved him. This is another musician who was presented at Herwig Wurzer´s Jazz Shop. That Macedonia stuff is great, isn´t one of the tunes that wonderful "saga secorama". And the other , more "american" thing was an Enja recording "After Hours". 
And I love his trumpet sound....., once I heard that Miles also liked him very much and was the first who told him to go to the States.

"Saga Se Karame" .... and amen about everything else  ....

Great DiRubbo quartet session last night at Smalls. 

From his recording history looks like he's had a long association with last night's sidemen, Rudy Royston and Brian Charette.

Philly Gumbo Vol. 2 on Criss Cross.

A nice recent recommendation from @Larry Kart, for which thank you.

George Otsuka 5 - Go On' (1973)

[jazzbo]

Lee Morgan "The Complete Live at the Lighthouse" disc 6

Really enjoying this set. The sound has definitely been "modernized." In a good way. I really admire Benny Maupin's work and having more is . . . more!

[Rabshakeh]

Horace Tapscott Sextet - Dial 'B' for Barbra (Nimbus West, 1981)

One of my favourite records from that LA scene.

Among other thigs, it can be a CTI record for people who hate CTI records!

Of all the Ra records where listening to the inside of the music takes you deeper to the point than does just staying on the surface, this one makes it easier than most.

Then again, that's true of most all music, the surface is where they get your attention, the inside is where they keep it...to do what it will...

[jazzbo]

I need to revisit the new release of Languidity again very soon. A Sun Ra album that is inescapable once you've really felt the recording.

Now, a shift in gears perhaps, but music I love as well.

Duke Ellington, “Volume 6: 1929” Masters of Jazz (Media7, France)

Sometimes I try to imagine how this music would see and feel like performed by these guys in 1929. I cannot conjure an accurate image, but the imagining is fun. It has an impact for me now, and imagine an even greater impact to many at that time.

Vol. 1 is very good too.

Spinning this again, the more I listen the more I like it.

Paul Bley, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Bruce Ditmas - Jaco (Improvising Artists, 1974)

My first time listening to this. Pastorius is absolutely great, but Bley and particularly Metheny really aren't there at all. It's like very weak Weather Report.

also not mixed particularly well, iirc?

No. Not mixed particularly well. Sometimes you can't even heard whether it is the synths or the guitar that's playing. At least Pastorius is prominent.

[HutchFan]

Yeah.
