Johnny Griffin - Live in Tokyo (Inner City, 2 LPs, rec. 1976) with Horace Parlan, Mads Vinding, and Art Taylor

Jorge Sylvester reported on his Facebook page that Carlos Ward died.

Mine is still in Memphis, TS, according with the Fedex tracking, due to avverse weather, if I understood well. Bah. I made an error, I should have chosen Portugal or Spain.

In from some more shoveling. This cup of Ruta Maya coffee tastes really good! Listening to Roy Hargrove “Earfood” Emarcy Japan SHM-CD

from what I can tell, the goal was to avoid too much crossover with "spiritual jazz" and New Africa might qualify, though regardless, it is an absolutely extraordinary record (and gets fairly skronky in parts).

OJC

Agreed, also Gracham Moncur III, New Africa.

On any given Sunday....

Fantastic, thanks!

So the Patriots have beaten the #1, #2 & #5 defenses in the playoffs so far. The Seahawks are #6. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/2025-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats

Super cool, thank you !

Wow, thanks for the heads up! I actually posted a thread in this section about two years ago trying to track an issue down.

I got a tracking number six days ago. . .still no shipment! I'm patient I guess. . . .

I didn't get the book, but was interested in seeing the list. It's not as bad as feared in terms of sheer flexing, if only because so many of the really chased-after inclusions have been properly reissued over the years. Still, I agree with Colin that there are some head-scratchers that seem to lean towards collector fetishism over musical impact, such as the choice of Cecil Taylor Unit and Marion Brown records, not to mention rather silly inclusions like acetates and records that only existed as test pressings that contemporaneous fans wouldn't have even known existed. And some really puzzling exclusions of entire artists that others here pointed out, like Bill Dixon, Sam Rivers, and Wadada Leo Smith. Despite my skepticism, I'm certainly a record fetishist myself. I've got 40 on the list in their original forms, and 11 more as reissues. Now Colin's list--that's very interesting! A ton of stuff I'm not familiar with, though there are a lot of artists represented that I love and just haven't heard the particular album he picked. Surprisingly to me, I didn't do quite as well on his list--38 OGs and 3 reissues. Will definitely be digging in further!

I'm looking for recommendations, rather than Google's opinion.

That AFC game was not bad. It was a battle! Looking forward to this SB,!!!

The 1961 tour with Dolphy.

I'd not worry about Google. They're don't really matter.
