Roscoe Mitchell, In Walked Buckner (Delmark)

Note that both Roland Kirk sets are available for pre-order on the Resonance site, with a December 5, 2025 release date.

Horace Parlan was Kirk's regular pianist at the time. Getz and Rhyne probably sat in - as I said, Rhyne had played with Kirk when both were still unknown, before Kirk recorded his first LP for Bethlehem.

Melvin Rhyne had played with Rahsaan very early in his career, c. 1955. This must have been a happy reunion. Rhyne was in New York for a session with Wes Montgomery for Riverside. https://resonancerecords.org/product/rahsaan-roland-kirkvibrations-in-the-village-live-at-the-village-gate-cd

You can't bury Tony.

Amanda Shires: Nobody's Girl

So all three pianists playing at the same time?

“Barry Harris plays Barry Harris” Xanadu LP Great piano sound.

I bought all of the historical masters CDs too, but they were superseded by the great Japanese box set:

I have the limited edition of Lester Young Vol 1, the number is somewhere in the 1200s iirc... good to know it also exists in an unlimited version in case I lose it

This is my only 'limited' Lester Young ... 😂

I'm listening to a disc from the SACD set now. It's true that the soloists are mic'd more directly and "louder," but the bass and drums don't seem "deeply buried in the mix" to me. . . it sounds like many a real club performance I've heard where the horns are mic'd more than the rest of the band. Certainly studio recordings of this Quintet have bass and drums more prominent.

Love this one. A warm and drizzly morning! Going to be a rainy day. I’ll dream away when I can. Starting off with a re-listen to this disc from yesterday as it sounds SO good and the system is warming up with it nicely. “The End and Everything After” Jangeun Bae Trio 170×152 16.8 KB On to MIles Davis "Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel" Tower Records/Sony SACD set disc 5

I also have this CD, as 'LIMITED EDITION NO. 1642 OF 2000" 😂

Agreed, that's why I scanned the back insert. All the other five front covers are just as irrelevant ...

I would have just about (just barely) understood THAT cover "artwork" for a reissue of some down-home country blues. But this??? Booker Little?
