Tiny Grimes, not even close for me. Strata East or Black Jazz? One had higher highs, but lower lows. The other never released a bad album.

There are some Tadd Dameron airships which came out on one of those 1970's Prestige twofers, and those tend to be my Fats go-to. Will post picture and more details when I get home.

Yes, how would he have responded to the sea change in the music half a decade later? Beautifully, I suspect. Stunning artist.

Right in my wheelhouse (I own the entire Ultimate Spinach catalog, first two Strawberry Alarm Clock albums, etc.). What you need to understand is that quad releases did not become common until the early/mid 70's. So the quad release of that legendary 1967 album was done long after the initial release of the album on the poorly distributed Spartacus label. The quad mix was done from the master tapes by a sound engineer who did not understand the subtleties of the group's music, and was more interested in showing off the quad technology than faithfully representing the art of the MGW. As a fold down of that quad mix is the one that is now commonly heard on the 1992 Collectables CD, it is a great disservice to the legacy of that groundbreaking group. A good copy of the original vinyl on Spartacus will set you back a couple of hundred dollars, if you can find it at all, but is well worth it for true fans of this masterwork. The album cover of the original release has also become infamous, not "appreciated" by the 1960's censors, who thought they saw "drug references" a la "Eight Miles High".

I may need to bite the bullet and buy the download.

Any CD release of this?

The Fleetwood Mac is beautifully done, and has a lot of great music on it. 'Then Play On', 'Kiln House', 'Future Games', and 'Bare Trees' are all pretty great, a lot of wonderful Danny Kirwan. And the live CD of the McVie/Welch version of the band is much stronger than any of the remaining studio albums that version released. Money well spent on all three purchases.

Yeah, totally agree, they aren't Muddy and Wolf albums, they're Pete Cosey albums with guest vocals by Muddy and Wolf. They don't hang together at all, but I find the clashing fascinating.

The Moochin' About label has nice box sets of related jazz soundtracks at very low prices.

I actually like that one and the two similar ones by Muddy Waters, but I realize I am well in the minority, and have always been a sucker for 60s "psychedelic" stuff.

That thing cursedly made the top 40 where I lived at the time (Cincinnati), and I had to listen to it on my transistor radio over and over again for a few weeks!

My favorite Tolliver album.

You can also use the track selections from the original 3CD set as a starting point!

Up with edits, price drops, and some titles again available.

Everybody's at their peak during that concert.

Depends on your thoughts about the afterlife.

Just out of curiosity, why do you ask?

George (Dan) will be glad he did that!

Based on clue from JSngry, #6 is the second cut from this. Great album.

Based on clue from JSngry, #4 is the third cut from this. Excellent album I need to pull out and listen to:

I'm glad to do December as usual.

I noticed that!

"Minority" by Gigi Gryce, "Simone" by Frank Foster, "Nardis" by Miles, "Nica's Dream" by Horace Silver are some favorites of mine.
