That's on my "to buy" list so I'm pleased it's not on the Discogs list!

It's fun to hear these Lloyd compositions -- some of which he's still playing today -- in their nascent form. It's also clear that Lloyd was still working on finding his own voice on the tenor at this point. OTOH, his flute playing seems more fully individualized.

This is my only vintage Mono BN, and surprised that it's not on the list

Hello!

I posted a concert of Eddie on this Facebook group https://m.facebook.com/groups/327260927975997/

Yeah, humidity would be my biggest concern. And welcome back, Brandon. It's been a quick minute or two!

I also saw her with Lou Donaldson. Great organ player, wonderful lady ! But I would have liked to hear LD at least once again with a setting with p, b, dr. in later years. In the mid 80´s he always had a p.b.dr. quartet, even if Herman Foster´s block chords sometimes where too overwhelming for me.....but it was Mr. Donaldson´s choice and that means he was right, not me 😉

I have seen Akiko a number of times at the Vail Jazz Party, and also on Zoom from Smalls in NYC. She is a fine organ player. Akiko is married to Joe Magnarelli, one of my favorite trumpet players currently on the scene.

Thanks for sharing this @felser Personally I liked the Sonny Clark the first time I heard it - Japanese CD I think I found at Tower or HMV in NYC - but I plan going on a BN kick for my MP3 player/daily walks and think I will revisit next week.

yes, later pressings have ticked up too. I've never fallen in love with Cool Struttin', as much as I love Sonny Clark, and I can't fathom why. The trusty stereo 70s pressing serves me just fine in this case.

A bit of nostalgia this morning - I attended this session at RVG's on April 26, 1978. I used the opportunity to ask Rudy about the possibility of recording a couple of Roscoe Mitchell sessions there. He declined The Maze (too complex), but was intrigued by the sonic possibilities of L-R-G. He reached for his appointment book and said "when would you like to do it". We recorded it on August 7. Rudy suggested Columbia's 30th St. studio for The Maze and I followed his advice.

R.I.P.

@clifford thornton: That's what baffled me too. Personally, I would lean much more towards 5000s and fairly early 1500s if I had the money and willingness to shell out for BN originals. So in this case the "market" prices MUST be about the music ... @Kevin Bresnahan: FWIW, about "Cool Struttin'". Just saw that the review by Down Beat (by Don Gold) was just as indifferent (not for exactly the same reasons but still ...) as the one by ESTRAD: 2 1/2 stars ... So is it (also) about the cover after all? (Just like Verves - not so rarely for no sensible reason at all - tend to go up significantly in price if they have a DSM cover) Or maybe one of those cases of "must have if you want to be In with the In Crowd"? @mjazzg: I agree with your assessment of how the "collectible" scene and market work. regardless of whether we like it or not, that's the way things go. But like I said - it's regrettable that much later pressings then tend to go up and up too just "because it's on Blue Note". Not all that long ago Liberty pressings used to be relatively affordable even over here, but now it seems that to many sellers they must be the (almost) next best thing to an original.

Good to read. I emailed him last year and he replied he was basically retired and not playing out.
