Are those CDs or LPs?

I am a huge Jackie McLean fan and never understood why this one has such bad rep. Love it and I especially think his style blends excellent with Rashied Ali’s drumming.

I've known him since his first releases on ECM in 1973 – his records are on my shelf. On November 11, 2016, he performed at the Göttingen Jazz Festival with Paul McCandless and Mark Walker ('Oregon'). R.I.P.

Jason Moran: Modernistic. Blue Note 7243 5 39838 2 6 [US 2002]

January 21 Jason Moran - 1975

Looks very cool. 😎

Several times, instrumental snippets, but the song existed before the film. Just finished;

Grabbed it for 1/2 price ($50) on Ammo Zone yesterday

Excellent selection. All their recent box reissues are well done.

Does it have the song?

I learned something over the weekend regarding the US college players' getting paid under the NIL program. I thought that a few guys were paid $30,000, with the biggest stars getting $100,000. It's nothing like that. They are getting millions. Archie Manning's grandson Arch was the highest paid this year, receiving US$6,800,000. BC's GM Ryan Rigmaiden is concerned that American kids, after receiving that kind of money in college, will have no interest in playing for what the CFL pays if they don't make it in the NFL. Instead, they will just move on with their lives. This might not be a bad thing, as it might increase the number of Canadians in the league, kids who grew up wanting to win the Grey Cup. https://3downnation.com/2026/01/18/b-c-lions-gm-ryan-rigmaiden-sounds-alarm-about-nils-effect-on-future-of-cfl-qbs/

I have found Bret Primack's facts to usually be straight, although at this late date some citation would be welcome.

could just be some friend of Coltrane's named Lonnie, rather than a musician (although Levister is an interesting possibility). Who knows. Love the tune regardless.

yeah, the original of that Rickey Kelly is fairly hard to find.

You're welcome, John. I fear looking like a shill for "Da Bahstids" (with whom I am not affiliated 😉), but I truly use them as a major source of info on upcoming releases. In addition to spending piles of money. The album is indeed on youtube, I'm going to listen tonight!

👍

This one: They're both really good records and I enjoyed them way more than I thought I would. Not sure why I went in with low expectations in the first place. That would be me to an extent. I struggle with Miles' collaborations with Gil Evans. To the point I just don't listen to them. Every now and then I'll put them on and it's always the same reaction..."nah, not for me"

Thanks so much for the heads-up! Looks fascinating. It's been out before on LP and CD, but I'm not familiar with it. I look forward to listening on youtube, and if it has a Nimbus-West vibe or is otherwise really good, picking it up! https://www.discogs.com/master/839009-Rickey-Kelly-My-Kind-Of-Music

I have 162 and 3 more on the way from Dusty Groove which are still sealed! I was disappointed when the series ended in March 2004. As far as storage, all my CDs are housed in the IKEA Billy Bookcase CD inserts of which I have 18.
