I think I also know that album. Isn´t Bemsha Swing and Evidence on it ? I love those tunes and they are few I kept in my repertory from the bop tunes, maybe the only ones that I kept. During the spring tourings I think I did either Bemsha or Evidence sometimes as the last tune and got so carried away that I jumped up from the piano and did some dance steps.

Too beautiful ! How much I love that album. This is my year ! Maybe the best I ever had in live. I don´t know that special album, but each of them is a personal favourite of mine so it must be good. It just happens that at that important period in my live I rarely purchase or spin so called "straight ahead" albums, though I am sure that those men go far beyond it. It´s strange: this must have been "centuries" ago but I also saw Jackie McLean live together with Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins, the 4th member of the quartet was no one less than Bobby Hutcherson. I remember it was the best bebop setting I ever had heard. Don´t know how I would think about it today, but sure it is very good music. Schizophrenia was the first Wayne Shorter album I had. I think it is wonderful. Maybe even my favourite from that early period. I think I saw the cover foto on another album of Bud Powell. I have not listened to bop music for much time and don´t really want to play that style myself anymore, but I think I remember the very very fine versions of those super old tunes "Deep Night" and "Thou Swell" and "OId Black Magic" I think they go back to the 20´s. I remember Bud played them very very often so they must have been favourites of him, and I think I hear it in my ears that he plays some astonishing stride piano on it. This must be an early Bud Powell record from the mid fifties, but I think I mostly heard interpretations of those tunes at least 10 years later when Bud had returned to Birdland and seemed to celebrate that event with those old tunes from his youth/childhood.

Again one of those albums that moves me so much it is so overwhelming, so much balsam and nutrition for my soul it almost hurts. I can´t describe it in words, it´s too heavy for words. Since I purchased it many decades ago it has it´s special place in my collection, but it seems that as years passed, and especially this year is the most emotional year for me ever, so many tears, so many happiness it gets more and more intense. That´s the kind of music I´m deeply in now. Late Cotrane, Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and very very much Sun Ra.

But in 1972,list price was $3.99-$4.99, and nobody except a sucker or a desperate person paid list.

Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan and Billy Higgins are all in top form on the fine album!

PM sent re: Sam Rivers set.

How is $30 massively overpriced for a record? Adjusted for inflation, $30 today is about $6 in 1972 when this album was released. $30 is absolutely reasonable for this level of quality in a modern vinyl pressing. I would actually expect the price point to be closer to $40, which is still not unreasonable.

Joel Ross “Who Are You?” Blue Note cd Joel Ross on vibes, Jeremy Corren on piano, Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Jeremy Dutton on drums, Kanoa Mendenhall on bass. Harpist Brandee Younger guests on five tracks. This is a killer band and album, Ross’ second as a leader.

Thank you! Not sure why nothing took me to that page, just to the Amazon Music page.

You got a link for that, please? All I can get is for mp3 & vinyl...🤔

Flora Purim "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly" Milestone LP Maybe not my favorite Flora LP, but it's a good one. Ah, they're all good. with Airto, David Amaro, Ron Carter, George Duke, Egberto Gismonti, Alphonso Johnson, Ndugu (Leon Chancler), Laudir De Oliveira, Robertinho Silva, and Hermeto Pascoal.

👍

Interesting. I think I'd rate Black Love as my favorite -- in no small part due to Dee Dee Bridgewater's vocals. But I dig Journey and Let This Melody too.

Disc 2: - Nocturnes 15-20 - Waltzes

You don't. Journey To Enligjtenment and Let This Melody Ring On are the two essential albums. Mother of The Future is the key track on Black Love, but Garnett did a far superior version of it on Norman Conmors' Slewfoot album(blasphemous as that sounds).

I've not heard that one -- and it sounds like I don't need to!

32Jazz did a Carlos Garnett comp from his five albums, and the runtime was only 40 minutes, 1/3 of which was 'Taurus Woman' 😟

with Peter Washington & Lewis Nash

I met Sam at a gig in Austin, and my wife and I talked to him a few minutes outside the club. What a nice man!

Sabine Kühlich's initiative to invite Sheila Jordan to Germany, to tour with her in May 2006, and to release two CDs has attracted a lot of attention! See: Gudrun Endress: Substanz, Charme und Phantasie – Sabine Kühlich. In: Jazzpodium 6/06, pp.3-4. Note: Gudrun Endress was the managing director of the Jazzpodium. Sabine Kühlich & Crisp: Fly Away. Acoustic Music Records 319.1370.2 [Germany s.d] ... with three tracks with Sheila Jordan: Ornithology, Beautiful love ..., How deep is the ocean. I purchased both CDs years ago directly from Sabine Kühlich: https://sabinekuehlich.com/

Music from 1958. The first part of the album reminds me of the West Coast Jazz of the period with 3 good saxophone players I had not heard before. Vocalist Ann Richards sings on the last few tracks and sounds very nice.
