Great album !

Yeah, those Mythic Sound 10 CDs. I like especially the second half of that album, that tracks made in NY in autumn 64 with John Ore and J.C. Moses. And it´s probably the only time Bud played "Bemsha Swing". In some discography I read that actually on Bemsha Denzil Best (the co-composer of that song together with Monk) is on drums. A wonderful album

same here, just turned 61

one of my favourite Wes Montgomery albums, actually this was the first I had.

very interesting interview

Thank you all so much ! Danke schön !

Two I got on my birthday on Monday.

This was my starter for Joe Henderson long long ago, and probably the first Milestone LP I bought.

Horizon is also one of my favourite McTyner albums. What made Milestone so great for me and my generation is, that it happened now and here. So we eagerly awaited all new and upcoming albums and might discuss them, wonder who will be the first to pick them up, and then come together and spin it and talk about it. It could be McCoy Tyner, it could be Sonny Rollins.... all the Milestone Jazz stars, and a hit was the 1978 Milestone Jazzstars with Rollins-Tyner-Carter-Al Foster.

George Handy´s piano sounds strange, like someone who plays western avantgarde music and tries to play what he thinks might be "modern jazz". It sounds really weird....

Thank you so much Dank Euch, Freunde ! Ja, machen wir das beste draus.... gute Musi´ hörn

Happy Birthday Jim !

Great !

This is one of my favourites with strings.

Great Tenor Tandem, and brings memories back. I saw them both, not together, but each of them several times.

the right thing on that cold foggy day....

Nice little album.

Yes, those 3 Albums must be in every Collection of vintage bop records. Personally I Thing the BN is the best. My admiration for Bud Powell started when I heard his Incredible solos on the CBS double Album "One Night at Birdland" (Bird, Fats, Bud, Curley Russel, Art Blakey). The next week I bought the then usual Verve Double LP which Features the mentioned "Jazz Giant" and the second Verve Album which I think is called "Genius". With two tracks trio and the rest is 1951 solo.

A quite untypical thing for BN. While most stuff on BN during that time was hard bop, this is more in the cool style.

Quite late in Dexter´s career, maybe not the greatest performance, but still very fine.

Two featuring Bobby Hutcherson.

Great, it was a Wonderful time then. Dennis Irwin wrote in german !

I also think that the Point of Departure indicated that they wanted to go on recording Dolphy. they signed some important Avantgarde Artists that time. Yeah, they didn´t usually do one Offs. One exception was Charlie Rouse ´s "Bossa Nova Bacchanal", this was the only Album Charlie Rouse made under his own Name for BN, same Thing Art Taylor´s Album.....

oh yes !!!!, those two are Wonderful. "Korner" actually was the first Blakey I bought. It came out in late spring 1978 so it was out after very short time. Reflection in Blue from 1979: That´s the band I saw live: Valery Ponomarev , Bobby Watson, Dave Schnitter......

Great ! And great that Joe Henderson dit it. Really sound´s like another Palo Alto Story. Now it´s clear that it might have happened very seldom that such a big star would Play in a School hall, but I remember at least some occasions in the late 70´s Maybe into the early 80´s where local jazz musicians could Play in School halls. Others were Schools for adults, in Austria they are "Volkshochschule" and that´s also a place were I saw a jazz concert with austrian jazz great Fritz Pauer (p)….
