This looks like Andrew Hill with a larger UK band...

Thanks! I've had one auto and audio problem after another. . . hopefully this trend has finished now.

Excellent! 💗 😁

May your Pharoah Sanders LUCKY 13 change your year for the better!

I had no idea of this release! Damn shame it’s not on CD, or not that I can see. I asked Michael very specifically about that in person at the Library of a Congress in 2014 (after a panel talk he was on with Jason Moran and Lou Donaldson) — after he’d eluded to some live Hill thing when he was doing some press for Freddie Hubbard’s Without a Song: Live in Europe 1969). Michael said it was not some old(er) archival recording — but it referred to some larger live group thing recorded in the UK more recently (mostly with UK musicians, augmenting his core US quartet, iirc). Or if not UK, somewhere in Europe, or maybe Scandinavia (maybe Finland?) — but I’m thinking it was the UK. In any case, definitely not a Hill trio thing (which I would have loved to have heard).

My Pharoah Sanders Mosaic set finally arrived after a three day trip to Columbus and back for some reason. And it's the lowest number I ever remember getting . . . #013. Which is in keeping with the unlucky year I'm having.

Ron Horton's A Prayer For Andrew is indeed a really nice album, haven't played it in a while but there was a time when I streamed it frequently...

I’m spinning the Japanese Acoustic Sounds series SHM-SACD of John Coltrane “Crescent,” UCGU-9077. For my system it’s the best digital version I own, I also own a reissue LP that sounds pretty darned good.

This is my reaction too. Even PoD, which I should know backwards the number of times I've heard it, reveals new delights every listen. Thanks, I didn't know of this. There's been a couple of very good UK bands playing Hill repertory recently, not yet recorded though.

Two gems

Nice. Arabesque put out some really good music while it was in operation.
