I used to order from them. I stopped when our post office wouldn't deliver without a signature & i'd have to make a 20 mile roundtrip to pickup at the postoffice. With tariffs & shipping charges I don't even try.

Exactly (emphasis added). I only know of his playing with Metheny.

Joe Henderson in 1978 may not have enjoyed the widespread popularity he later achieved, but I believe he was in excellent form as a player. Also, Joanne Brackeen was at her peak. Personally, when I think of Steve Rodby, I recall him playing electric bass on Pat Metheny's best albums. However, it seems he originally played acoustic bass. I've heard a live recording of Joe Henderson in France from around the same time (November 1978), and Rufus Reid was on bass for that session (same pianist and drummer). Since Rodby was the house bassist at the Jazz Showcase, he might have been filling in for Reid. Danny Spencer wasn't particularly distinctive, but he was a competent drummer.

Thanks. News to me. It'll probably get shown around here and I intend to see it.

Steve Rodby has been around for a while: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Rodby Danny Spencer was the drummer on the Kenny Cox Blue Note sides. Steve Rodby has been around for a while: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Rodby

I just realized that the International Phonograph reissue of this came out *15* years ago. Damn, time doesn't fly, it's more like now you see it, now you don't.

And by a bass player I've never heard off. But I'm also all in anyways! The bigger fear for me is the drum solos.

No non-USA sellers are good options for us right now due to tariff craziness on top of already greatly increased shipping costs. I used to order from JazzMessengers fairly regularly several years ago - they do a great job and had excellent prices.

Here's hoping for as complete a box as possible. I am not excited about buying excerpts, only to have a larger set issues a year later.

Thanks, Romualdo! I actually downloaded at lot of that first session somewhere online. I can't remember where. I don't have any of the second session, where I presume the pending Giant Steps and Satellite are coming from.

Experience with the label suggests the CD will turn out to be a CD-R. But everybody please remember, the label is a nonprofit organization.

Those are all four of the bigger cities I’ve lived in throughout my life (well, Pittsburgh starting in a few weeks). But rather than devoting an entire topic to Pittsburgh only (which there don’t seem to be dozens of examples from Pittsburgh alone) — I thought I’d go for our four cities in one thread. How many can we come up with?? The landmarks can be obscure, and don’t have to be incredibly well known — but outdoor shots that include buildings, venues, what-have-you — or best of all, entire city-scapes. Who knows — maybe I’ll decide to track down physical copies of the very best example from each city — and put framed copies of the covers in a hallway in our new place in Pittsburgh.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m unquestionably ALL in on getting this on CD. But with a total of 5(!) tunes that are all 22+ minutes each — by just a quartet (Joe + piano trio) — that’s gotta mean a LOTTA bass solos.

Resonance's facebook page has this: So at least there will be a cd version which presumably won't break the bank.
