Terumasa Hino Sextet - Fuji [Victor] really enjoying the first listen to this. Thanks again HutchFan

x a lot

The second of those is knockout, only discovered it this week

Previously Terumasa Hino/ Reggie workman - A Part [Love Records, 2020] and now Lloyd McNeill Quartet - Washington Suite [Universal Sounds 2017]

The big surprise for me was the one with Tony Coe, superb. 'Cyro' has been in my sights for a while now I have a couple of the Companys, Epiphany & Epiphanies I-VI. Both well worth the entry fee despite the first being 45rpm and having some sudden, abrupt track endings. HJ told me these were on the originals, who am I to argue.

Showing as 'out of stock' on the website now.

This is a boutique release I don't see it coming cheap anywhere. Maybe if you tell yourself that it has Mal as an uncredited guest?

No Smooth Jazz? Oto probably not the best source... I'm interested in that book too

https://www.juno.co.uk/artists/Black+Unity+Trio/ I got confirmation from Gotta Groove today that Juno have bought copies from them so you might yet be in luck Pim

Just listening to 'Emanation' now and I'm struck by how strong the piano trio segment is. Such a consummate musician (and swearer )

That's a great listen. The only Kessel i have so will be interested in this thread to see where else to pay attention

in late 70s Britain, at least the part where I lived, all self-respecting soulboys listened to Grover Washington - Winelight Crusaders - Streetlife and my particular favourite at the time David Sanborn - Hideaway {which I still have somewhere) Happy Days!

One of my absolute favourite musicians. Steve, I think your appreciation is spot on. Just received my copy of 'Of Things Beyond Thule, vol.1' a testament to his current stature.

Only patriotic songs I hear bring tears of despair these days. Give me 'Jerusalem' any day over the rest of our choices

Being British I simply display a stiff upper lip and make sure my emotions don't get in the way of song enjoyment so happy for this to be a US-exclusive thread.

Nice thoughts. I also revisited the box off the back of this thread and found great music in it, I'd forgotten just how good and varied a collection it is

It's all on Spotify, in the UK. It is good.

Smoke - s/t [Session] This went on my 'to buy' list a couple of months ago after a discussion on this board made me aware of it, can't remember where now It's now on my 'bought it' list and I'm very pleased that I have. Really interesting session

Why wouldn't they be from such an established and reputable label? They're real LPs and downloads too...

Terumasa Hino Sextet - Fuji Thanks to Hutchfan for the inspiration

Yes, plan was two in person concerts. One at the Vortex the other at a concert hall venue. Vortex is seating 20 max socially distances and masked. Other venue also doing similar. I've working from home too and not overly comfortable and have avoided large numbers. I've so far thought the risk factors were sufficiently mitigated for these concerts but infection rates have gone through the roof here recently so may well have revised the decision to attend. Lockdown will resolve that dilemma.

My plans to see London Jazz Festival gigs from 13/11 for a week look about to be stymied by a (very belated) lockdown rumoured to start next week. At least the LJF have programmed some interesting streams

That's such a great cover. I bought three of the RSD Hino titles as my introduction to his leader dates, this one may have to be the next Meanwhile, the morning's arrival. What a hidden (from me, at least) gem this is E.W. Wainwright, Jr. - African Roots Of Jazz (AROJ, 2017 reissue)

Great to hear those character packed early songs. The Apple TV documentary is worth a watch, little more than a promo but a beautifully shot and composed one.
