Found this nugget in the dollar bin! NP

Two more LPs produced by Don Schlitten. Now: Earlier:

R.I.P. Don Schlitten Outstanding!

I am thinking about picking up a desktop computer with Linux. Just for internet surfing and the usual office tasks. Any suggestions regarding the Linux version? The retailer? Thanks!

Will Vinson: Brent Jensen:

I don't know these two. What records do you recommend? Really...? I think it is fair to say that I don't hear this at all.

Finishing off a re-listen to this set with disc 1. This was a great run-through of a killer release. Tyshawn Sorey Trio +1 With Greg Osby "The Off-Off Broadway Guide To Synergism" Pi 3 cd set Disc 1

Thanks! It may be that the early Lighthouse record was just unrehearsed or that Latin rhythms were new to him at the time. He doesn't seem to struggle on these.

Solid Never heard this album but the cover photo is excellent.

So wonderful ! It´s exactly what I want to hear. It´s so close to my musical tastes, it´s amazing. Makes you believe, makes you pray, makes you happy.....like Pharoah Sanders does for me, my all time favourite, whom I had dedicated a composition on my latest album. Sure, I listen also to some straight ahead stuff from earlier periods, especially at a club when I hang around after a gig, or get home and feel exhausted, then some of the 1950´s BlueNotes, or Prestiges help me to relax.....

yeah, I'll definitely pick that book up.

I wanted to take a moment to update you on the Keefe Jackson "Trio" concert taking place next Sunday, March 1, at Tubby's Kingston, as you may have seen the flyers around town or online. We billed it as a trio because the fourth member of the group had to first be able to get into the country unscathed. Now that he's here, we can officially let you know that this will be a rare US concert of These Things Happen, which joins Keefe, Luke, and Mikel with Dutch pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland (he'll be playing an electric keyboard for this appearance). I was very impressed upon hearing their Astral Spirits debut a few years ago; they are touring in support of their latest, A Gentle Reminder, forthcoming on Chicago imprint Corbett vs. Dempsey. Keefe has this to say: "The music of These Things Happen lives in the spaces between Chicago and Amsterdam, composition and improvisation, sobriety and wild abandon, playfulness and innocence. Starting with classic pieces and originals from the Dutch and American jazz traditions, the group will digress, covering new ground: discover and ignore, grab and release, create and let go. While the Chicago musician comes to jazz naturally, the Dutch approach to this music has often been that of respectful game and play. With These Things Happen this contrast is one of sincere joy. The compositions of Misha Mengelberg stand next to those of Thelonious Monk, Herbie Nichols and originals." As before, doors are at 7 and the show starts at 8, $20 either at the door or in advance. I'll play records before and after as well. If you know someone who might want to attend, please feel free to forward this email. The more the merrier! And if you are unable to join us, please listen to and buy the musicians' work either via Bandcamp/online marketplaces or your local brick-and-mortar record store.

He's credited with percussion on this album: Despite the fact that Acapulco is in Mexico, the sound here is decidedly more Brazilian.

I've got that one too kh. Need to revisit soon. I’m listening. to “Hollywood Concert” CTI/Legacy 2 cd set, disc 1 Some heavy weight jazzers strutting their stuff.

I must admit I like his second Muse album a lot for the mood it creates. Roy Ayers fits perefectly here.

Whenever I hear the smooth jazz of the past decades up to current times, I hear Desmond influence all over those sax players. Whether the players themselves would cite him or not I have no idea. Take Ten to me is a proto-smooth jazz record.
