I held off on the Crossland but got the other two, then at the "last minute" added these two: Phil Haynes Liberty Now! https://philhaynesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/liberty-now Roots Rocking Zimbabwe - The Modern Sound of Harare' Townships 1975-1980 (Analog Africa No.41) https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/roots-rocking-zimbabwe-the-modern-sound-of-harare-townships-1975-1980-analog-africa-no-41

On my system SACDs sound really really good and generally an improvement, so the SACDs have been and will be welcome for me. I also really like the 7" Sony packaged releases.

It's all been pretty underwhelming so far unless one is really juiced for the Tiberi stuff.

Me too!

Grateful Dead “Postcards Of The Hanging - Grateful Dead Perform The Songs Of Bob Dylan” 2 cd set, disc 1

Good condition original pressings are very expensive, but there are some reissues available.

I have this Roost 2220, excellent sate. Would like to get a nice copy of the preceding volume as well; it seems a bit harder to find on LP.

Evensmo, in his solography, mentions this session: SELDON POWELL QUINTET NYC. July 7, 1956 Seldon Powell (ts), Hank Jones (p), Barry Galbraith (g), Milt Hinton (b), Osie Johnson (dm). Three titles were recorded for Epic: Stoozie C. J.’s Brother Serenade In Blue His comments on the session: Pleasant, nice session with SP at his very best. Two fine medium swingers are most notable, but the beautiful and lighttoned version of ”Serenade …” will be your lasting memory! I could not find any record containing "Serenade in Blue" on Discogs, or on streaming services. Does anyone know if it has ever been released (and even better, if you have a copy of the recording, please let me know...). EDIT: I found it! https://www.discogs.com/master/1022100-The-Rhythm-Section-Rhythm-1

Preference is not a consideration. Interest is, and it's total.

From https://www.everythingjazz.com/story/the-tiberi-tapes-a-new-addition-to-john-coltranes-discography-for-2026/ The slow speed kind of explains the pitchy quality of the recordings. It often sounds to me like the speed is off and the pitch not standard. https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/1225/17/vintage-magnavox-tr-100tape-recorder_1_d250f172475f7aa8e879a1a41bdb861b.jpg

The Paris 68 is terrific, but there's a theme from this video that's missing. With that extra track, the Paris session could be an LP. Marion Brown Paris 68

And?? Are you saying you prefer the beginning of the Elvin/McCoy quartet or the later stuff?

Someone just shared some ‘70’s footage by Mal on YT with Oliver Johnson and Gus Nemeth. I also never saw this before:

Thanks I’m in!

I have and very much enjoy the Away LPs. Prime stuff!

Enoch Light And The Light Brigade – Pertinent Percussion Cha Cha's

I am returning to some of the early Jazz messengers recordings with Jackie McLean and Bill Hardman, and some with Johnny Griffin. They have a rawness and excitement that I am finding very appealing.
