I love to see a Lee Morgan 60s mosaic, but I more want a Wayne Shorter BN Mosaic set. And I hope it will contain the unissued session (maybe prototype of Odessey of Iska...)

A nice cool morning. Awake before the birds thanks to my old dog. Starting off the day with Yusef Lateef, “Atlantic Lullaby: the Concert from Avalon,” Elemental cd 2

Da muss man durch 😂😇😂 ....

Also agree, a significant artist/composer

I can hear you, as N-H Orsted Pedersen played on a lot of platters from the mid 70's onward .... btw his duo recording with Archie Shepp "Looking At Bird" and the Dexter Gordon Trio gig "Lullaby For A Monster" (both on SteepleChase) are treasurous ....

Is "Ain´t no sunshine" such a simple stuff with chord vamps in e minor and some "lyrics" that always goes "I know I know I know......." ? I have terrible memories about that. It was in my "un years" where due to some issues I was largly unable to play in public and when I finally decided to lead a jam session in a 2nd or 3rd class joint with a shit box of a piano we tried to settle an evening program and had a fair 1 set with some good jazz standards but the jam after intermission was a mess, a weak hornplayer, a good but too overwhelming guitarist and then there was a male vocalist and he called something with "Sunshine", but not "You´re my sunshine" or "You are the sunshine of my live" where you still could manage to play some stuff out of it, so it was that quite monotonous e-minor thing with that "I know I know I know" and the guitar player turned on the heat and played them one chord two chord vamps and the only right thing is that I stood up, left the stage and went out into the night to lit a cigarrette until they would be done ......

Marc Hemmeler / Herb Ellis – Anniversary In Paris ... 1986

👍

I don´t have this one, but I have some Steeplechase of Dex, some with Tete Montoliu, and my favourite is those two albums with Jackie McLean (The Meeting, The Source). But tastes are different and especially on those later Steeplechases I just can´t stand him anymore. Too many solos, and quite a lot of clichés , all them double grips with glissando, well and all those years with Oscar Peterson, well I prefer other European Bass players, Pierre Michelot, Günther Lenz from Germany is great, Peter Trunk when he was alive, or the legendary John Heart or so from UK . I think I have one more Steeplechase of Dex but exactly because NHOP is NOT on it. It´s one that has Sam Jones on bass and Al Foster on drums, so that´s the musicians I really like.....

Keep in mind that these are the facts as alleged by the Plaintiff. It is not “what happened”. As TD points out, the “Board” is not a neutral party here, and is probably led by the company’s investors, who prominently include a VC fund. The central allegation seems to be that some elements of expenditure on the plant were not declared to the company, although it is acknowledged that others were. That is obviously something that will need to be tested.

True ....

I only have about 1/2 of the albums in the box (and one of those is "Now"), so I'll be getting it. It will also be a nice tribute to Bobby and Michael. I have the Select, but have never been very happy with those albums.

Today's mention goes to Greg Maker, whose work on Sam Rivers "Crystals" (Impulse) and three Billy Harper albums (Denon) is astonishing ....

Thanks for the JazzFest review. Looks like there's plenty of good music still to be seen there. I had the impression that it was overrun with pop acts. I was there in 1989 and 1990. I'm sure it was much different then. Smaller crowds, if nothing else (not that it wasn't crowded). Saw lots of music in the clubs after festival hours, too. Here's Sun Ra (1989)

Definitely! Looking forward to seeing them next month, too.

Witted Cover Art .... and Kenny Dorham (!!) ....

Lovely ....

Is dementia not a problem for Italians? Olive oil could help reduce risk of dying from dementia, Harvard study says (msn.com) I would give the Oscar to the second baseman.

Sounding great out of the gate.

New favorite display font!!! Beautiful impact and amazing Readability. This cover art is worth its salt in my book. Who designed it??
