Some of those Concord LPs were also available in Austria. I never before had heard the Name Ross Tompkins, but purchased one featuring Ross Tompkins with Joe Venuti, when I heard it in a club and asked the owner what it is. From Art Blakey on Concord I only have "In this Korner", which is great. In General those labels from the 70s that focussed on acoustic jazz like Pablo and Concord had their own rules...

IMHO Lee Morgan´s best album from the 50´s. Night in Tunisia is incredible, Lover Man too. I´m also in the BN groove right now.

Wonderful Album, I love it. Wendesday Night Prayer Meeting, yeah !

Sad News. He also played together with Kenny Dorham in 1963 and it was recorded as "Short Story", also at the Montmatre

Maybe my favourite Hank Mobley album. Now listening:

Though I am from Austria, I bought this one at a shopping Mall in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Great allstar thing. I think it was the next album after "Sidewinder", maybe Sidewinder became a bit too popular for me, so I prefer to listen to this one, though Sidewinder sure is fantastic.....

All Hank Mobley records are fine, this is particularly fine with Curtis Fuller and McCoy Tyner.

This trio was great and I saw them for the first time in autumn 1977 at "Jazz by Freddie" in Vienna. It must have been a gig shortly before the LP was recorded. The next year in April 1978 this trio played with Johnny Griffin at the same venue.

Very nice and really an allstar thing with Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding and Joe Henderson.

Very nice !

Dave Liebman´s Lookout Farm live in Hamburg 1975

Oh yes, you are right. I was mislead by the liner notes I think. Now this one. It´s not as interesting as "Three Worlds of Drums" but a fine blowing session on the chords of "Idaho" .

It was a great time and everything was so new then.

Red Clay Always has been one of my favourites

Great Pictures ! And the first time I see a pic of a board member ! Young man. I saw Dave Liebman for the first time in 1978. I think that year he also did a world tour with Chick Corea, but I missed that. Oh, those years, it was just a Chick Corea hype, everybody listened to "Return to Forever", Well, I can listen to that a few times, but not too often. But too bad that the concerts of Chick with Dave Liebman were not recorded…. On the other Hand, Liebman in his autobiography writes that he was not happy on that tour, some personal clashes with Chick Corea or something like that….. The second time was one year later in 1979 with Liebman´s own Group I think it was Terumaso Hino on pocket tp, John Scofield on g, Ron McClure on b, and Adam Nussbaum on dr., that was a great Group.

"Three Worlds of Drums" is one of Mingus´ great works, it runs for almost 30 minutes. I think, this was Mingus´ first album on which he decided not to play bass himself, just to accentuate his role as a composer. I remember I read somewhere that he said he would like to be reminded as a composer. But I must admit, it would have been even greater if Mingus would have played bass himself. Eddie Gomez and Jiri Mraz are great, but even if it is two bass players they don´t get the unique strong bass of Mr. Mingus himself, but as I suppose, he just wanted to accentuate more his role as a composer. Larry Coryell is also great on this.....

Great story ! Dave Liebman-Richie Beirach would have been scheduled in my hometown on March 8th, but due to Covid it was chancelled.

This one with Tommy Potter , Bird´s former Bassist is really something nice. My CD has another cover and has the Studio date and a live set also....

I love the cover of Liebman´s "Drum Ode". So I also kept it, though I have the CD. But above all: I got my LP signed by the Master himself "Peace from Dave Liebman"...…..Beautiful, isn´t it. And this was the Dave Liebman-Band with the Young John Scofield on guitar. And it was John Scofield who helped me to meet Dave Liebman to get the Album signed.

I saw George Cables with Dizzy Gillespie. Before Dizzy came on stage, they played 3 tunes, among them was a very fine Version of Monk´s "I Mean You", and the Standard "All of You" . On bass was Herbie Lewis, on drums was Louis Hayes, it was in November 1983. Shortly after that concert, Cables recorded together with Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and Philly Joe Jones "Four Seasons", where he also played "All of You" and "I Mean You", as much as I remember…..

A favourite of mine
