That show is a no-brainer!

I recently posted about this album in another thread. And excellent recording and performance by the band, especially a fiery George Coleman. Hats off to Zev Feldman (and his Reel to Real label) for making this available.

So a couple-three weeks in and we have some outstanding titles. This should be treat (and threat to my budget).

Reading some recent fiction: Russell Smith's Self Care and Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar. After this, a swing through Southern literature: Faulkner's The Wild Palms and O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find.

Just saw Mike Murley with Reg Schwager & Neil Swainson at Hirut. Very nice trio work (guitar instead of piano). Will likely go tomorrow evening as well.

I must admit that I am completely unfamiliar with most on the lisr!

Totally badass.

ooh, nice one. Originally issued by Hal Willner's "Shemp" label. Hal was a great guy.

On to disc 2 of this set, recorded at Ronnie Scott’s in London in 1969. This would be/would have been a good candidate for the Plangent Process, but still sounds quite good. Marty Morell may not be the most popular drummer that Evans hired, but he had a long tenure and I find much to admire in his drumming (I used to be a drummer myself, some years ago). A “peppier” Evans performance than many others. Bill Evans “Evans in England” Resonance Records 2 cd set disc2 300×300 7.54 KB

I'd be willing to bet some of these tracks could be found here at archive's site: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A"V-Discs"

It's an excellent list. Thanks for sharing it. There are lots on your list that I enjoy also -- plus a bunch with which I'm completely unfamiliar.

Some great albums there, most of which are new to me. Thanks for the list/link.

Tom Harrell “Light On” High Note cd Yet another great Tom Harrell on High Note.

I weirdly can't locate this one on discogs or Google.

How dare you, Sir?!!! Yes, it's me.
