Decided to move to disc 2 of this fantastic release for the first listen. Abdullah Ibrahim “3” Gearbox 2 cd set

Enrico Rava - Edizione Speciale I remember standing outside in the crowd in Antwerp, drinking La Chouffe from a plastic cup, it was a sunny afternoon and the music was just right... pretty strange to think that, at the same time, they were recording an ECM album right there...

Cecil Taylor Live in Bologna Leo Phil Woods Enrico Pieranunzi Elsa - live in Ferrara Philology Chet Baker In Bologna Dreyfus Cedar Walton trio Red Record

Charles Lloyd Quartet, Passin' Thru (the portion recorded at the Lensic in Santa Fe)

The Audience With Betty Carter (they recorded multiple nights - I was there for one) Atlantis - McCoy Tyner (same as with Betty Carter) Live In San Francisco - John McLaughlin & The 4th Dimension, Jimmy Herring & The Invisible Whip Duet - Anthony Braxton, James Fei 75th Birthday Bash Live! - Kenny Burrell (recorded at 2 venues - I saw the Yoshi's show) Rhythm-A-Ning - Kenny Barron-John Hicks Quartet Blue Head - David "Fathead" Newman Plus Clifford Jordan Also ... The Last Waltz (I know. Not jazz 😎)

RIP for sure! I last saw him do a solo performance at Big Ears 2019. One of the best shows of the weekend.

😁🎸

R.I.P. to a master. I particularly liked his duo sessions, such as those with Gary Burton and John Abercrombie.

Probably a "pass" for me.

Noticed that piano too. The drummer's style was not what I expected either. Not bad, but not sure how much of a match it is for this tune. Still, probably a good release for any Art fan because really, how many live recordings of him from the 50s are there? All the live sets I have are 70s onward and in a much different style. I'd love to hear a ballad from this set. I'll probably end up getting it.

Inclined to agree. Plus, the piano sounds out of tune (though that's not rare in clubs) and the sonics are not great (as might be expected from the tape source).

Found a track: Art is bringing it but in comparison to other versions of this tune, I don't know...this rhythm section sounds a bit stuck in the mud on this one. Or is that just me?

Omnivore is a very good company, they do a nice job on their releases.

I should have mentioned in my list: Jon Jang, Two Flowers on a Stem Andrew Cyrille w/James Newton, X-Man and Good to Go: A Tribute to Bu (I like the duets w/Jimmy Lyons and the quarters with David S Ware too, but return to these 2 the most)

After reading some of the Black Saint / Soul Note thread:

yes, the Lacys & Waldrons... while there are recordings by each I would pull out before those, they're still really good and Seagulls is super.

Off the top of my head, this (CD2) and this F

I think the labels are consistently outstanding. I particularly like these Black Sains: Marcello Melis - The New Village On The Left... (I first heard about this album with Roswell Rudd, Enrico Rava and Don Moye - as well as Sardinian singers! - way back when in the Funny Rat thread as a recommendation from late brownie) Frank Lowe - The Flam Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Ed Blackwell - Old and New Dream Charles Bobo Shaw Human Arts Ensemble - Junk Trap The John Carter Quintet - Night Fire Muhal Richard Abrams - Blues Forever Wayne Horvitz; Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris; William Parker - Some Order, Long Understood Jimmy Lyons Quintet - Give It Up Glenn Spearman Double Trio - Smokehouse What We Live (Lisle Ellis; Larry Ochs; Donald Robinson) - Fo(u)r and these Soul Notes Bill Dixon - In Italy, both volumes Jaki Byard - To Them - To Us (my favorite Byard album) Andrew Cyrille - The Navigator Kenny Clarke; Andrew Cyrille; Milford Graves; Don Moye - Pieces of Time Max Roach Quartet - Scott Free Enrico Rava Quintet - Secrets BassDrumBone (Mark Helias; Gerry Hemingway; Ray Anderson) - Wooferlo Paul Nash - The Soul Of Grace The Michael Marcus 3 - Live in N.Y. The Fringe (George Garzone; John Lockwood; Bob Gullotti) - Live In Israel

We made a donation in support of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz and attended this live taping of the only television edition of the program at SCETV Studios. We received a VHS copy of it, a limited edition of 50. "In Your Own Sweet Way" was a second take necessitated by some problem at the board during take one, which was complete. Dave Brubeck said, "I liked the first one better" during the set. The duo piano CD with Mark Shane and Johnny Varro was recorded live at the 1998 and 1999 Atlanta Jazz Party.

Thanks for clarifying. That now makes sense. It definitely is very poorly worded.

Regarding Boby Wilber & Kenny Davern: Summit Reunion in Atlanta: If the engineer did record the cussing between takes, I believe that it was erased or edited out of the recording. We never did figure out what it was that provoked Davern's outburst and I can't ask producer Phil Carroll, as he died in 2008. I feel it might be taken the wrong way if I asked his son.
