Continuing my Sunday afternoon listening with: McCoy Tyner - Horizon (Milestone, 1980) with Joe Ford, George Adams, John Blake, Charles Fambrough, Al Foster, and Guilherme Franco One of my favorite McCoy albums.

Piano Sonatas No.8, No.9, No.10

👍

Now spinning: Baden Powell - Ritmos de Brasil (Barclay/Movieplay, rec. 1964) Spanish reissue of an album originally released in France as Le Monde Musical de Baden Powell.

There were Atlantic masters of John Coltrane lost earlier, it was mentioned in the liner notes to The Heavyweight Champion box set.

Now this: Art Farmer - The Time & the Place (Columbia, 2 LPs, rec. 1967) LP 1

Cool. I had all the material in the set when it came out except the unreleased live material which I was delighted to have. Now Joe Locke Quartet "Moment to Moment--the Music of Henry Mancini" Milestone cd

The OJC CDs had this info. Not the LPs, though IIRC. Unless they had OBIs?

Next up: John Lewis - P.O.V. (Columbia, 1975)

I loved all of those 2-fers. I think the Blue Note Reissue Series was by far the best. Had a lot of those!

Very enjoyable! Especially enjoyed the performance of "Evidence"!

For many years, that was the only Roulette LP I had by Big T. I remember bugging Cuscuna constantly for the eventually issued (and much loved by me!) Mosaic set! Listening to this bit of late Bud Shank

I'm still "Processing." Something to look forward to!

Ditto, though my corner of Oregon is a little more populated! That De Franco/Clark set is very good.

ts-find, woww ... have to listen a few times before i do bold statements, but for now; exceptional, very precise and detailed, powerfull recording. I have to compare this recording with Kertesz's performance.

I found the cd for a euro at a thriftstore and it's now playing ...

That whole BN Montreux series has been a mystery for five decades. I know I only ever saw them as cutouts at Third Street Jazz in Philly (Jerry Gordon's store years before he founded Evidence Records), and there is question if those albums were actually released at the time. The CD issues later on were good to have. If course, the Marlena Shaw sample was the retrospectively famous moment, and I assume that and the Norah Jones windfall made their release more viable.

Sonora Ponceña - Sabor Sureño (Inca, 1974) Craft reissue LP

Thanks, looks like we can make it!

A new one by Mira Melford ('s trio). Guess I'll just post the review since it sums it up pretty nicely: https://www.freejazzblog.org/2025/08/myra-melford-splash-intakt-2025.html Increasingly, I find myself liking large portions of Intakt's output. This one is not an exception. Free yet quite "bouncy", as the reviewer puts it.
