Just got an email back from them. The set was returned to them and they are mailing it out to me again. Good customer service!

It's easy for me to get tired of pop or rock music that I just sort of love. That one and Dark Side of the Moon I never need to hear again! My brother used to (and in a way still does) play the same music over and over for months. . . and then move on to another to obsess about. Currently he's nuts about Jason Isbell--will get his new album and play it incessantly til the next one arrives, rinse and repeat. My other brother is a jazz and classical music fan.

I have been a longtime listener of Emmet's Place on YouTube and have recently discover New Jazz Underground. I was Very excited to see this collaboration. I think it's definitely worth checking out.

Sold

👍 - as vinyl on my shelf!

Held off on buying this for a long time because I worried it would be too much (too early, too tinny sounding, more dance music than substance), but I've really been enjoying big band and decided to pull the trigger on a good Ebay price. It's really outstanding, and now I'm just coasting around Duke's entire library - the band was great at all stages! I love how my jazz palette has expanded over the years, starting with an old Art of Pepper CD my parents bought me in HS to bebop, hard bop and then backward to Louis and traditional and swing. I remember scrolling XM years ago and passing through the 40s station as a novelty - now it's primarily what I listen to in the car, lol! Ain't life grand? I look forward to continuing the journey.

Dunlop for me as well, but Blakey works great with Monk (he's especially creative on "Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk")

Charlie Rouse in top form ....

Prompted by Monk talk elsewhere on the forum:

So have I discovered something that's always been there? Call me Columbus then!

#7 is Track 8

There are a handful of listings for Tate on bari in the Tom Lord Jazz Discography, though, curiously, the record with Dollar Brand is not one of them. But that's obviously a bari he's playing on the way out on Poor Butterfly. Here are a few: The Great Buddy Tate : Warren Vache (cnt) Buddy Tate (ts-1,cl-2,bar-3) Hank Jones (p) Milt Hinton (b) Mel Lewis (d) Jackie Williams (d-4) replaces Lewis, Paul Tate (vcl) New York, March 26, 1981 On Green Dolphin Street (1) Concord Jazz CJ163 What are you doing the rest of your life ?

Interesting...I wonder why no mention of it on the album at hand or any(?) reviews of it over all these years.

Track 2

Saw them with boardmember "blacksaint" @ Porgy & Bess Club Wien a week ago .... both sets were deeply touching .... spiritual jazz at it's best ....

Excellent find 👌👍 ....

Same here .... sheer class ....

Not sure about this, but it looks like Valerie Carter did support on at least some of the Browne/Orleans shows in 1976. Maybe she was who you saw. If that's who it was, Browne wrote a song about her ("That Girl Could Sing"), as did Steve Winwood ("Valerie").

to be fair, I have spent many more hours with Mal's music than Grant's.

Drummers: Frankie Dunlop, then Shadow Wilson. Blakey was playing what he always played, Riley was not really an individual stylist, although he really leaned in. Bassists: They all fit in, as long as they were strong walkers. That's what he was!

I think those two albums are WAY under-rated in Monk's canon in general. I think part of that stems from the fact that Monk revisited many of his compositions on the Columbia albums, stuff he'd already recorded for BN, Prestige, or Riverside. And that disappointed critics and (some) listeners back in the day. However -- with the passage of time -- it's clear that those two albums, as listening experiences, work REALLY well. Monk's Dream might be the Monk album that I play most frequently of all. And, speaking of frequency-of-play, the Quartet sides from this album also get lots of spins in my house.

googling "site:wikipedia.org Dave Liebman High School" led me to Noah Preminger who fits your clues very well. But I haven't found a recording around 2020 where he goes pianoless.
