They did, the whole series is beautifully executed. My favorite is the Barbara Lewis set.

Just our household with a simplified menu. Just give me turkey, stuffing, gravy, then a nap in front of a football game, and I'm good. Still much for which to give thanks, even in 2020.

+1 on both observations.

I have the Ruppli Prestige book (and the 1988 version of the Blue Note book and the Verve Vol. 2 and the Savoy), and have the Japanese Riverside book. All worthwhile - I've spent many hours in the Blue Note over the past 25 years.

The Blythe is a landmark album. Love the Freeman and the Coleman. Someone needs to rescue the India Navigation catalog.

I did, too. Great, very underrated drummer. Gene Rush played (beautifully) on the incredible early Lloyd McNeill albums, 'Washington Suite' and 'Aisha'. Not otherwise familiar with him.

For that matter, I'm sitting here, working and listening to the new Mingus live 1964/1975 issue on Sunnyside, and realize that 'Changes 1/2' are also nowhere in sight on that 70's list. Another example of an excellent 70's ECM session largely overlooked (along with those Liebman/Beirach Lookout Farms) is Julian Priester's "Love Love", which is akin to and at least matches anything Herbie Hancock released in the 70's. I guess we could just do this on and on (for that matter, I'm game).

Looks like August, September, and November.

I like the title track of For Losers quite a bit. The rest of the album holds little appeal for me. The key cuts on Kwanza go down better as bonus cuts on The Way Ahead. IMO. They clash with the For Losers type outtakes which complete Kwanza. Yasmina is a winner.

The Hoffman Forum - where every issue of every recording ever made is a rare and precious treasure. BTW, the ebay listing is gone.

Buck Hill also, right?

9 of the 10 titles were on Columbia or ECM. Guess the critics never heard Charles Tolliver or Billy Harper.

Ebay has some very reasonably priced. Great CD.

And Lloyd McNeill.

I like that Ronnie Mathews album.

He did play bass on on this 1971 album (as did Wrecking Crew great Joe Osborne, don't know who played on what). Referred to as Andrew "Muff" White, whatever that was all about.

Anyone have any leads on where to get that Elvin Jones CD with White and Ari Brown at a reasonable price?

It's amazingly good, and surprisingly diverse. I was on the fence for months, but made the jump and have no regrets.

I've also had it on pre-order from ImportCD's for a while.

Glad to see the Dave Holland on the 2000's and the Maria Schneider on the 2010's. I own 3 total from those two decades, as opposed to owning all 10 of the 70's selections.

Nice article about this album in the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer.
