if one does, one has to do it right. That guy in the back on that keyboard 🤣 this must give some of the board members here nostalgic feelings. I was born only three years later after this piece of art

That's because it is on this excellent disc by the Buchberger Quartet, highly recommended. The whole series on Wergo is excellent. https://www.discogs.com/label/532694-Edition-Paul-Hindemith The three box sets with all orchestral works on CPO sare the perfect complement. Add the various chamber music discs by the Ensemble Villa Musica to complete the picture. https://www.discogs.com/artist/1058369-Ensemble-Villa-Musica

oh my 🥰

Paul Bley Quintet: Barrage: ESP-Disk' ESP 1008-2

If both of you like it chances are big I like it. I”ll put it on my Spotify ‘should I buy?’ playlist

I’ve got the same question. It is on my wantlist already…

Pharoah Sanders “Message from Home” Verve cd Produced by Bill Laswell

alright 😀

That's absolutely on point. My problem with Muse is the sound - rather thin, no warmth, especially the bass, and bass drums almost inaudible. I doubt there will be much improvement. And they have short playing time. In most cases two albums woulb fit on one CD. Some are musically very good, some are avrerage. I find this listing to be more useful than the one on discogs, due to all foreign editions listed there. http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Muse_5000.htm Muse continued when Prestige was turned into a fusion label. Don Schlitten et al.

Sorry, I misunderstood ... 😉

I'm not making any sacrifice. The benefits of her love and trust far outweigh being cautious and mindful pf her apprehension and insecurity. Right now Jazz is Dead 7 "Joao Donato"

these two then…. The last is desert island stuff for me

Yeah, but "more people", in this case, is likely going to be the flippers/hoarders. Many of these new Muse LPs will never be opened and will sell from collector to collector in that condition. I'm betting that a lot of these will not be bought for the music.

Bud Freeman - The Test of Time (Bethlehem Records)

Pat Martino made some damn good stuff for Muse too. Counciousness, Live and The Visit. Amazing stuff. Not looking to replace mine but if this brings more people in touch with his music: let them reissues come!

Everybody has to make some kind of sacrifice, i understand.

I didn’t knew this book before but checked it out and you made one hell of a great find! Congrats and enjoy!

No, she would not be happy. She's very possessive and jealous. And I guess due to a devistating past marriage insecure. I'm used to it after ten years, I love her, she has nothing to fear but I know that doesn't keep fear at bay. Right now Another disc from the “Enjoying the Ride” Grateful Dead box set. Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY (9/16/87) disc 3

ahhh maybe she would let you go with your hands bound?!

Ts-find

There should have been an album "Everybody Digs Wes!" Now playing a collaboration between Wes and his brothers, "Montgomeryland" with Harold Land and an album reorded with Pony Poindexter.

Bud Powell: Inner Fires - The Genius Of Bud Powell. Elektra Musician MUS K 52 363 [1982]

https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/impressions-of-new-york?cart_redirected=1 I just bought it, and have listened to the first two tracks. A great band. Wonderful compositions, sound, arrangements and performance. "The flyer for the October 1980 Camden Jazz Week announced a first commission for Geoff Castle, describing him as one of Britain’s most talented keyboard players. It went on… “Geoff, like many of his contemporaries, was first involved in the jazz scene as a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and subsequently through Graham Collier Music. He is currently a member of Nucleus, leads his own group, Strange Fruit, and occasionally surfaces with Paz and the Morrissey/Mullen Band, and with the Musicians Union’s travelling jazz/rock workshop team. It is, however, Geoff's individual ability as a leader/composer that is featured here: he has, in the past, contributed material to both Strange Fruit and Nucleus, and, indeed, performed solo. Impressions of New York, inspired by a recent visit to that city, is his first larger-scale work, and will traverse both acoustic and electric areas of jazz - the ten-piece group includes tuned and LA percussion and synthesisers alongside an impressive line-up of soloists. Impressions of New York has been commissioned by the Jazz Centre Society for the Camden Jazz Week with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain.” The Impressions of New York suite was performed by a Geoff Castle ten-piece group called Geoff Castle’s Impressions Orchestra, either in full or in part, on four occasions between 1980 and 1983. Three of those concerts are included on this release. Although it was never recorded for album release, we believe Geoff did plan this. It definitely should have been and so Jazz In Britain is claiming this as another ‘lost album’ discovery.
