Because the women leaders clue. It could be Mary Lou Williams and I found the theme on the Chronological Classics CD 1945-1947. I think the most difficult to find was Myra Melford, but I recognized the guitarist (Liberty Ellman) and I remembered that he was on that record.

Would love to be transported to Venice's Teatro La Fenice on a certain Thursday 24th 1977...

Correct. I want master numbers, dates and locations, unissued tracks and all. Like in the Ruppli books. I know it was soll by some Dutch society which no länger exists. Or do it seems. I want to doa George Shearing discography. There are contradictions between info in the Tom Lord Discogrsphy and on recent reissues. Those so called discographies do not deserve to be called so. They are just album track listings.

It's one of my favorite McCoy albums too. Blake's violin really adds some nice texture. And I'm always glad to hear George Adams.

Thanks!

Easy Go

Got my copy today. Looking forward to listening.

Curious how you got there. Would you mind describing the sleuthing process?

It´s one of my all time favourites. I remember an older friend had it, and it was in the time when the BN was dying, so most of the albums were OOP and there was mostly only those hidous paper bag cover double albums, and only few of them. This album was and is exactly my taste ! When I was still new in jazz I thought that what Cherry does ist automatically "Free Jazz". But this is not a Free Jazz record, it´s mostly straight ahead swing and many themes. I love each of the players, it´s an all star album. I think this and another of Cherry are the only ones of Gato Barbieri that I have. One of my favourite McTyner albums! I think that´s the line up I saw live. Maybe another drummer, I think Ronny Burrage, and a percussion player, it was a sextet with sax, violin, b, dr, perc.

R.I.P.

https://www.chronogram.com/arts/fred-smith-of-television-dies-at-77/ By coincidence I dusted off my original copy of Marquee Moon over the weekend. It still wows me every time. RIP.

Then a few people buy the records, many don't. The time passes and more people say, hey, what's the deal with this guy, and they find something, want more, and the reissues either do or do not happen. Moral of the story is - pay attention in real time if at all possible (if you're so inclined), and if not, buy the reissues as they arrive. Either way, carpe diem. Oh, DOGON AD also made it out on Artista/Freedom.

Brahms - Piano Quartet No.1 and No.3 - Schneider, Trampler, Parnas, Brown

Oh, me too ! I love that record, I love Alice Coltrane and especially those where Pharoah Sanders is playing with her !

Thanks, okay! This dude to me is a mystery in the 70's. Like Woody Shaw, lays down these stupendous sides, then just situates in the bowls of business, paycheck signed, then what?

SFJazz Collective “Original Compositions and Works of Thelonious Monk” disc 1

Yes, I agree with you there! Good record, but hardly "free" jazz in the sense that you or I might use the term.

Omega OSL 2 / VSOP 32 (1986) - Dick Marx / Buddy Collette " Marx Makes Broadway - rec.1957 & 1958

Full Moon Ensemble is way more "spiritual jazz".

Clarke-Boland Sextet “Music for the Small Hours” Rearward cd I like all the music from the collaborations of Kenny Clarke and Francy Boland, big band, small ensemble. . . it is all great listening. This one sounds excellent. 400×366 23 KB Bass – Jimmy Woode Drums – Kenny Clarke Flute – Sahib Shihab Percussion – Joe Harris Piano, arrangements – Francy Boland Vibraphone, Bongos – Fats Sadi Vocals –Jimmy Woode Recording Date: June 16th, 1967

True, and Towner was 85.
