Amazing dude. Great composer, player...nothing short of brilliance.

I will be driving to Kassel this evening - 50 km from here - to listen to Marc Copland. https://www.staatstheater-kassel.de/play/gastspieljazzimtifdanielschlaeppimitmarccopland-267796

T.D.: THIS! Wicked! 9 more to go..

👍 ❤️ Was reissued also on this CD in my stock

Just thinking about Don Cherry. Interesting, I'm listening...tell me more....

I find it really interesting to hear a young David S Ware on those Cyrille records with DiGeronimo rather than William Parker.

Today's club, yeah, you're gonna asked to leave:

So I’ve got this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/2371061-Django-Reinhardt-The-Classic-Early-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order lots of value for your money, well documented and great sound. Recommended by the Penguin. But it looks cheapish (which is fine for that money) and no nice booklets with background info and pictures etc. What is the most definitive multiple disc Django compilation according to you guys?

Recently found two obscure albums that were recommended in the glory days of this board: Al Francis - Jazz Bohemia Revisited Spotlight on Jacy Parker

Medicinal cigarettes? Can't tell, like these? But were you allowed to smoke 🧐

IMO, Hank's last great statement: Cheers!

👍👍 Been meaning to get back to Sonny's BN catalogue.

Agreed.

+1 on DiGeronimo.

Sometimes I'm Blue with Kim Parker also falls somewhat short of the best Mal IMO. 😉 On the positive side, Seagulls of Kristiansund is close to the best Mal and Andrew Hill's Shades is awesome. Lester Bowie's The Fifth Power is very good. Yes. Those Cyrille albums with Ted Daniel are killer. Shout out to Nick DiGeronimo (bass) on a couple of those. I like the Henry Threadgill Very Very Circus Spirit of Nuff Nuff.

Sorry to hear.

Agreed. Some favorites that immediately come to mind beyond the obvious Billy Harper titles include 'Sightsong' by Muhal Richard Abrams/Malachi Favors, and some of the Andrew Cyrille albums with Ted Daniel & Co.
