For those wondering about the Bob Crosby band, here's a partial discussion (focusing on the Bob Cats):    Personally, I have quite a bit of Bob Crosby on vinyl, but the reissues (of the band's commercially released 78s) in the vinyl era were a huge mess. You tended to get almost the same things over and over again, while others continually fell by the compliers' wayside (though some of these "misses" I've heard elsewhere are worth exploring. ) So my LPs have lots of overlaps AND gaps. OTOH I've never come across the Halcyon CD series mentioned in the above thread, but i dont think I'd have invested in a "complete" series anyway.   

enjoying this recent JIB release (#4 from the contemporary Jazz Now series) The Dark Days Quartet (named after a James Baldwin text of essays) perform James Baldwin inspired improv & composed material Pat Thomas from the group "Ahmed" on ivories with Cleveland Watkiss on loops & recitation/vocals (extracts from the Baldwin essays). Neil Charles (b) leads the quartet & also has composer credits plus Mark Sanders on drums Recorded live at Cafe Oto last October (2024) https://jazzviews.net/neil-charles-dark-days-quartet/

Saw Flo & Eddie with FZ when this album was recorded at Pauley Pavilion, UCLA

Just stumbled on this when looking up Ricky Ford albums. Interesting because Mark Soskin was also the piano player with Sonny and Jerome at that Montreux gig. I'm a big fan of hers. Have seen her with Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey a number of times. Who's in the Quintet?
