What's really striking me about this is Steve McCraven's drumming, you can hear where his lad got it from

The Oki is the one for me in that list

Yep, got that one but haven't listened to it in ages

LP. 2 Larry Young - Into Somethin'

LP.1 Grant Green - Talkin' About

Ron Jefferson Choir - s/t [Sam Records, 2021 RP]

Ronell Bright Trio [Sam Records, 2021 RP]

Sorry to hear this, Clifford. Someone whose name I knew more than his music.

Have you downloaded the MP3s yet? Comment on Amazon UK saying they're not the correct music (although this may be when purchased stand alone). Has anyone listened to the downloads?

ZZ Top Yaya Toure The X X

BillF Sheila E Chuck D

Billy Harper Quintet - Love On The Sudan [Denon, 1977]

I don't know that one, I'll have to have a look for it Edit to add: found it

RIP

Family have announced his death through the GoFundMe page that had been supporting his health costs recently, aged 84 Not a Jazz musician by any means but a very influential musician nonetheless that has made some important recordings. A new Hassell album was always an event in my household. It will be a day of listening to them for me.

My thought exactly. I once saw Evan P with a copy at the Vortex, nearly mugged him

Yes, the twofer sounds better to my ears (it's cheaper too). Some Discogs comments mention copies being pressed side 1 & 4 and 2 & 3, mixing up the sessions but mine's standard

Well said

Switched to to the same music on this Punchier sound, better bass presence, denser

Sam rivers - Dimensions & Extensions [Blue Note, 1986] the DMM release, sounds OK but a bit thin. Would like to hear a Tone Poet of it. The music is great.

Agood reissue of the Ashby has been needed. Off to check how much on the expensive side they are... Edit to add: hmm...£70, that expensive

That's something you would think Strut might have thought to do

I thought Komeda was a pianist. Zbigniew Namyslowski is the alto sax player on 'Astigmatic' surely?
