Last night:

It would be interesting to hear (among others) "Equinox," "Mr. Syms," "Body and Soul," and "Spiral." I guess some of these were cut off..."Spiral at 1'47."

I need to catch up with an order, having not ordered from them in a long time. What would be some recommended records of recent years? I have only 2 of the Sam Rivers series (2 and 3) and could get more of those (or the complete box on LP). Thank you!

Given Zev's track record, are we sure about the personnel? Anyway, I am in for the CD version.

I would add: some of us are hardly lacking for MULTIPLE COPIES of the same Coltrane material

Nice pic G. Found this today online:

Pinduca – Carimbó E Sirimbó Do Pinduca

👍

Luca Tilli, Sebi Tramontana and Steve Beresford – Flying Slippers Now on to this fantastic one: Mestre Geraldo E Sua Bateria – Batucada Genial

Cold again. More snow and lower temperatures coming, it just started to snow again. Winter! Starting off with “Howard McGhee - Introducing The Kenny Drew Trio” from the Blue Note cd Connoisseur 10" series

YUM!!!

Thanks. I have those Kenny Cox albums with Spencer (though I couldn't have named him), but nothing Rodby shows as playing on (though I do have some of the Eliane Elias albums where he has production credits). Yeah, I much prefer 1978 Joe Henderson to his "popular" years on Verve. And I agree with you on Brackeen, who is such a strong pianist.

in addition to, while we're waiting: Smetana Quartet ** young Emerson ** Julliard Quartet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypBEX8jdllI ** Alban Berg Quartet ** Terry Allen "Truckload of Art"

I used to order from them. I stopped when our post office wouldn't deliver without a signature & i'd have to make a 20 mile roundtrip to pickup at the postoffice. With tariffs & shipping charges I don't even try.

Exactly (emphasis added). I only know of his playing with Metheny.

Joe Henderson in 1978 may not have enjoyed the widespread popularity he later achieved, but I believe he was in excellent form as a player. Also, Joanne Brackeen was at her peak. Personally, when I think of Steve Rodby, I recall him playing electric bass on Pat Metheny's best albums. However, it seems he originally played acoustic bass. I've heard a live recording of Joe Henderson in France from around the same time (November 1978), and Rufus Reid was on bass for that session (same pianist and drummer). Since Rodby was the house bassist at the Jazz Showcase, he might have been filling in for Reid. Danny Spencer wasn't particularly distinctive, but he was a competent drummer.
