Price is right. I may spring for it

Whole label seems to have gone LP only. Glad I scooped up the CDs several years ago when I could. Also noticed Tom Albach passed in November at 95. Albach filled the CD orders himself and would include nice surprise bonuses in the package. Very grateful he recorded this beautiful music and made it available.

Strongly agree. As great as each were, I never thought they were a particularly good match on those 1961 recordings.

Eligible for mine this year also, but still working!

Loved his work with Charles Tolliver and his ECM album. R.I.P.

It's a good album. Not utterly essential, but holds up well. This is my favorite cut, but not the only one I like. Very much akin to the one you have already.

That label is seeing a lot of reissue activity, so hope springs eternal.

Well, that's exactly who it is, but not that album.

You remain my last, best hope to identify cut #1!

Yes, Ari Brown, time to figure out the rest now. And glad to hear he's on your want list! His work with the Ritual Trio is outstanding.

No, no no, no! See JSngry's clue " #1 is a fine Chicago band". As far as widespread recognition, the tenor player is more on par with Washington than with the other, better known players you mention. And yet he is by far the best known member of the group at this late date, though the group was co-led by the pianist and the trumpet player (BTW, forget the clue I gave earlier about the trumpet player - it was incorrect). Tenor player is still active almost 50 years on, and has been a core member of one of the best trio's going.

No, but it is another board favorite.

Still need an ID on that first cut!

I have several 80's rock reissues on Omnivore. They always do a great job. This will be an Importcds.com pre-order for me as soon as listed!

I have no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And change the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony

Either or, Both are irreplacable:

My understanding/experience is that my own CD-R's may fail over time, but have never seen a commercial one fail. Also, for a label like Acrobat, their packaging is great, very complete with liner notes and discographical/chart info, put many other labels to shame.

Will ask again. As a CD owner/listener, what is the downside of them producing CD-R's instead of CD's? Would really like to know in order to make good purchasing decisions.

3CD 40th anniversary edition, includes a live disc. Saw Stewart solo live at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA (famous for the scene from 'The Blob') back in the early 2000's. Wonderful show, he was surprisingly great as a guitar player.

HutchFan, that's a good McCoy Tyner album, with heavy John Blake presence. What about it made it your Tyner pick for the decade?

I'm that way with the Duke Pearson which is included in the Mosaic Select. No masterpiece or anything, but totall listenable.

For all the British Invasion/Beatlemania excitement, no one had a better run of 1964 chart records than Dionne Warwick: "Anyone Who Had a Heart", "Walk on By", "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)", "Reach Out for Me". 1966 included "Message To Michael", "Trains and Boats and Planes", and "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", 1967 had "I Say A Little Prayer" and the most musically elegant Vietnam Protest Song of all, "The Windows of the World". Her one big misstep was passing on having the original single of "What The World Needs Now" (though Jackie DeShannon's version is perfect, and was career saving for her). Amazing artist.

Even a lot of the Left Bank material that has seen release through the years has not so great sound quality.
