Cherry Red is a British company who have been doing some spectacular box sets in recent years. We should suggest to them.

Sounds so good, but

All of the pre-Capitol albums are easily obtainable, we only really need the Capitol boxes.

Dan, you and I both liked the same two cuts! The sky must be falling! Yes, too much flute, this BFT needs more cowbell!

Dated as can be, and that is part of the charm:

Brad, very sorry for your family's loss and suffering.

No changes here, as I haven't had the family circumstances to get to live performances in years. Still listen most of the workday, but do so from home office now. And do some listening while I read on Sunday afternoons when opportunity arises to do both.

Amen to that.

Right, thanks.

That I know something about. When Cannonball left Riverside as it was folding, his masters from there got split between him (the Capitol Reissues) and Keepnews (the reissues on Landmark). Can't speak to what subsequently happened to the Keepnews-held masters. Seems like some of them later ended up on Capitol after initial reissue on Landmark IIRC.

Same here. I also like Flora Purim on it.

Thanks. Include "Enlightenment" later in 1973, and we'll call it good, LOL .

Here's what I see out there. I'm not familiar with a few of these. Might make sense for two sets, one of the live stuff, another for the studio material. Cannonball Adderley Live! 1964 Capitol Live Session! - with Ernie Andrews 1964 Capitol Cannonball Adderley's Fiddler on the Roof 1964 Capitol Domination - with orchestra conducted by Oliver Nelson 1965 Capitol Money in the Pocket 1966 - released 2005 Capitol Great Love Themes - with strings conducted by Ray Ellis 1966 Capitol Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at "The Club" 1966 Capitol Cannonball in Japan 1966 Capitol 74 Miles Away 1967 Capitol Why Am I Treated So Bad! 1967 Capitol In Person - with Lou Rawls and Nancy Wilson 1968 Capitol Accent on Africa 1968 Capitol Country Preacher 1969 Capitol The Cannonball Adderley Quintet & Orchestra 1970 Capitol Love, Sex, and the Zodiac 1970 - released 1974 Capitol The Price You Got to Pay to Be Free 1970 Capitol The Happy People 1970 Capitol The Black Messiah 1970 Capitol Music You All 1972 - released 1976 Capitol

Of course. Sorry, didn't mean to offend you, and I'll word my responses more carefully going forward.

Good choices. You got the right albums by Airto and Henderson, and I have no problem with the Carr., though I would have selected "Elastic Rock". We diverge majorly on the Evans. Needs to be "Priestess" for me hands down. "Svengali" has always had the reputation, but I consider it overrated. I have not heard the other three, but have certainly heard of the Herman and the Payne. My heart is broken that you got past 1972 without listing McCoy Tyner's mighty "Sahara" !!

Agree with what you say in the rest of the post. Not sure what you mean by this line. Not disageeing with what you are saying, just not really understanding.

A lot of the late 60's Capitol albums are MIA on CD for some reason. And stuff like "The Happy People" were only out on CD for a few minutes.

Count me in for "Fly With The Wind", "Effendi", "Contemplation", "Search for Peace" and several others. And please add in "A Message From the Nile". In some cases, like the mighty "Sahara", it's hard to separate composition from performance in my brain.

Time to change my response to question #3. A guy I've had a meaningful friendship with ver the past 20 years (though no recent contact) has it, is in intensive care, and his prognosis is not good. And the expectation is that his wife will also test positive. And they are in their mid-late 40's. He does good, meaningful counseling work that helps a lot of people, and this hits like a sledgehammer.

He did some good work as a sideman in the 70's with a bunch of people such as Shaw, Nat Adderly, Norman Connors, Carlos Garnett, and was on a couple of choice Strata-East albums by Charles Sullivan and Cecil McBee. His solo piano album on Steeplechase is a gem. RIP.

Led the league with a .340 average in 1955. He was 20 years old. Had a great reputation as a human being, and an uncontested hall of famer as a player. 134 OPS+ for his career, 93 WAR, played 22 years. Mr. Tiger. He, Bruton, and Colavito were a wonderful outfield for a few years.

It woul have been here, too, if our retirement plans hadn't been decimated .
