I'm still in. Not the best seat in the park, but I can still see the game.

Another big agree.. Augh...

I saw that at a film festival last fall. Thought it was OK but didn't measure up to all the reviews it later received.

That's the one. Good album, though his most "contemporary" one.

If anyone is interested in ripping tracks from the 23 Commodore Jazz Vol. 1 LPs, I would be willing to purchase the set, have it shipped to you to rip, and then pay you for your time with the album itself. I am currently looking at the $125 set on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/397821940030?_skw=commodore+jazz+volume+1&itmmeta=01KPVDNWV43C6FT2C8C5Q3C707&hash=item5ca009113e:g:VLkAAeSwGTpp2Bjf&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDM7f3BvUF0HUvOdpogaZ%2BKN0a20qvev2GI6hSNfXBH3FovU5620%2Fu%2FeIKCIVjzgF4WhR%2Bf80V6S3rjAeiW5gbAv9r3OvycPZEFNmRIW90zUfX%2F4Heol0dM%2F7Z4zsAJZCyt8pyYV1bwkjUIUx6Zh6Wy3GU6H2K5LyjU8E6oW83%2F3x2f1nj3qSZhg8dInc2ePpm3w1sfXvY5ExGifSTz6JqiMGhG5MfDJhopAJ8ySHd4sE9LS%2FJLC2xWorXI08%2FNOz4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_TN1-22Zw

These are two of my favorite Ronnie Cuber recordings. The Xanadu is an early one with a greatr rhythm section. Infra-Rae is a much later album on a Dutch label. It will swing you into next week!

While I understand the reservations expressed here, it is still that case that 1960 was a very important a pivotal point in Coltrane's career. These recordings are therefore important for Coltrane fans even if the sound quality might hinder the pure listening enjoyment. If the tape that has already been circulating is any indicator, the sound quality might not be as bad as Bird at St. Nicks. John

That multi-colored dic looked so good, I wanted to take a bite out of it! I'm glad he managed to tell his side of things in his autobiography "Only You Know and I Know", which I read last year. It was no secret that he was very ill. He and Winwood couldn't see eye to eye on the creation of Traffic's songs.He would piss Winwood off to no end when he brought in his songs written alone without the input of Winwood, Capaldi or Wood. When "Hole In My Shoe" became a huge hit in the UK, that prompted DM's first firing from Traffic. It turned out to be the best thing that could happen to DM. He came to the US and finally got recognition for his fine singing, songwriting and guitar playing RIP

The Modern Jazz Quartet: Live In Paris 1960 - 1961 Fremeux 3 cd set, disc 3

Has this been discussed. Sonically, wow: https://www.newworldrecords.org/products/julius-hemphill-dogon-ad Julius Hemphill's Dogon A. D. in a new remaster from New World.

Mozart Piano Concertos No.11 and No.15 - Buchbinder

Sullivan Fortner is at the top of his game these days. Tia Fuller is always great, Ditto Billy Hart. I'd say Terri Lynne Carrington would be a "must see" but not with Social Science. I'm not a fan of that band. Billy Hart's quartet is really good. Charles Lloyd would be worth catching but the last time I saw Lloyd, he was just OK. Maybe he had an off night?

This.

'Alone Together' is a GREAT album, and he did some good (though admittedly spotty) work before (with Traffic) and after.

The various Live at RoyalPalms cds are part of the Woofy discography. https://www.discogs.com/label/1460538-Woofy https://www.discogs.com/artist/6079078-Conte-Candoli-Carl-Fontana-Quintet There is a guy on eBay selling Woofy products cheap (I have no association with him). In addition, there is a Carl Fontana and John Fedchock Quintet recording date available on YT that was never released on cd.

Looking forward to it whenever it appears! I still have it on pre-order.

What are some good examples? I haven't come across it. Oh wait is that the Royal Palms label?

A late start today. . . yesterday I got a package in from Resonance Records with their latest releases. I’m starting off with the Mal Waldron, “Stardust & Starlight–Live at the Jazz Showcase” cd.
