Which is a great outcome for both parties concerned. Nice one.

Listening to 'Oversoul...' now. It's certainly an interesting departure and holds my attention, intriguing.

Not necessarily. Not everyone's motivated by making as much money as they can. Maybe circumstances dictated a quick sale was preferable.

Michael Jackson Jermaine Jackson Tito Jackson (Jackie Jackson) ...(and Marlon)

I don't hear the Feldman connection

Anyone listened to 'The Oversoul Manual' written for voices only. I was quite taken by it initially but haven't returned to it. Count me as a fan of the cover artwork on his albums too

I read an interesting reference to Harold Budd's 'Pavilion Of Dreams" as a possible precursor to this collaboration. Just listening to that now, not having done so for a while and I can hear the similarities, although Brown is a bit more foregrounded on it than Pharaoh is on 'Promises'. I had forgotten how good the Budd is. Again, not Jazz.

The Irish Rover Lassie Dame Shirley Bassey

Sid & Nancy El Cid Cyd Charisse

It's not Jazz and anyone judging it on that criterion is missing the point, I think.

Wolfe Tone Howlin' Wolf Chester Himes

That description of Shades Of Black intrigues. Presumably that's one of the unrecorded projects?

I love it. I am a fan of Floating Points but a bigger fan of Pharoah

I had the AZ and suffered a slight fever then a few days fatigue (I have an underlying contributory condition) and no more than that. Of the twenty or so people I know have had it one other experienced similar after effects, the others nothing if note. Both my parents in their 80s also have had it with no Ill effects. It's gone into so many arms in the UK that I think any serious issues would have been flagged up by now.

He's still playing, I received a notification of a live stream recently. @Steve Reynolds may know more as I remember him being a fan. Sorry if I have that wrong Steve.

Little Anthony Big Joe Turner . Tiny Grimes

I love 'The Sermon'. Once the leader dates are sorted...

Gretchen Parlato Joe Lovano Pat Martino

Thanks everyone, interesting and useful observations. I'm erring towards the Tone Poet plus option at the moment but not wholly sold on that option. I'm more interested in getting the leader dates at this juncture and have CDs of 'Street Singer' and 'Jackie's Bag'.

I've decided it's time for me to sort out Tina Brooks on vinyl. So do I buy the Mosaic box or with the arrival of the two Tone Poets i'm now wondering whether the best move is to buy them and hunt down the best sounding versions of 'Minor Move' and 'True Blue', probably the Kings. Interestingly the cost of doing either is roughly the same. anyone out there with the relevant versions wish to advise...thanks

I've recently invested in all volumes of these sessions. Starting with the digital ones until I'm reunited with my turntable.
