Once 32 Jazz got hold of the catalogue, the original Muse album sleeves got abused, always liked Woody's impression of Snoop Dogg on this cover. Maybe it's just me

This again:

This is a great set, you will not regret getting it. You know how this works, get it now before it's gone.

I don´t know nothing about a decline. Saw him the last time in 1989 and it was fantastic, and I really could HEAR him. I don´t know that album. I saw Blakey very often from the late 70´s to 1990 with different bands, the first was with Valery Ponomarev, Dave Schnitter and Bobby Watson, I think James Williams and aaah .....a bass player. Later with maybe Donald Harrison and Terenche Blanchard maybe Mulgrew Miller and Lonnie Plaxico, and later maybe with that young white cat on piano Benny Green and other very good young musicians. Maybe that was the last occasion I saw him.

must be also great, though this year I clearly prefer the post 1965 stuff of Trane, when Pharoah Sanders joined the band. Dolphy is great and was one of the first musicians that thrilled me.

I believe you, just like to have the original sleeves. Meanwhile, some more Hank, viz Art

Duke Ellington “Vol 6 1929” Masters of Jazz Media 7 cd. This one sounds best to me with Phase reversed on my DAC. I feel an early Ellington jag coming on. It happens. This music is so full of joy and wit and bravado and grace. . . wonderful stuff.

A wonderful set. Although, Elvin is clearly in the front of the mix, it is a Love Supreme not quite like the record. Now spinning:

The Mobley 50s Mosaic is a REALLY good set.

Big heart for Hank. This is hard to find in any format. Japanese have it at a resonable price, why haven't BN ever released a format, e.g., CD in America? This original pressing on a good day at auction goes for 6K ( I know like Tina Brook's True Blue was a low pressing) Is that it? Is the music that good? You say "perfect" I am glad you have a copy, now I want a copy!

Tragic. Terrible. R.I.P.

Never have seen this, looks good.

Jeter AND that highlight... that's low, man.

Jimmy McGriff “Electric Funk” Blue Note Japan cd Jimmy McGriff – electronic organ Blue Mitchell – trumpet Stanley Turrentine – tenor saxophone Horace Ott – electric piano, arranger Unknown – guitar Chuck Rainey – electric bass Bernard Purdie – drums From 1969. “Groovy” is the word that comes to mind for me when this one plays. I wish I knew who the guitarist was.

It's how I forget about football😁

Sunset was a budget label for what by then was all things Liberty...I am interested in what these recordings were sourced from...Columbia seems unlikely...maybe Everest? https://www.discogs.com/release/3437403-Woody-Herman-The-Herd-Rides-Again But how did that get over to Liberty?

👍

Always go with the gut on these things!

Thanks for the link. Looks like a good set. Have some of these late 1940s recordings on this japanese vinyl https://up.picr.de/43852216qg.jpg https://up.picr.de/43852217ox.jpg

Sadder yet to read that it was his son that likely killed him. Such a tragic end to a great director & comedic actor. Meathead will live on. I still think of this when I put on my shoes.

Ford's tours are very poorly advertised. I haven't managed to see him live in decades and I'd be willing to travel a bit to see him again. I don't see any more performances around this in CT. He was scheduled to play in the Boston area a few years back but had to cancel due to the weather.
