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 .

I have preferred WFH ever since the technology came in place to support it well. My wife already worked from home 95% of the time anyways (and my cat hangs out with me much of the day), so I have great company. And almost all of my meetings are remote even when I'm in the office, working with people here in Malvern/Philly, in Bangalore, and sometimes in Brasov, and most of my meetings have Bangalore representation. Very little tangible benefit to me being in the office, and less distractions from home most days. Plus it's really nice to have windows (the glass kind) to look out while I work. I would love to WFH the rest of my career. What I miss is being able to safely/routinely go out to do basic shopping, church, restaurants, etc. But I'm personally wired well for our current existence. However, it is very hard on a lot of people in many ways (I do worry about mass trauma/depression). And the sickness/death is a horror, as are the economic consequences.

Self Portrait continued what Nashville Skyline had begun, the lowering of expectations. No one could have been expected to continue at the level of Bringing It All Back Home , Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, and Dylan chose not to try. I agree Skyline and Portrait are enjoyable on their own terms, but it's a much more minor enjoyment than the landmark albums that preceded them. I like New Morning even more than those two.

A lot of really good India Navigation and Horo albums that never made it to CD, and ownership of those catalogs seems to be in flux (or worse).

I'm not crazy about the red/yellow motif, but it's OK. I like the other two better, especially that Jazz Corner of the World cover. This one is a favorite of mine, coverwise (needless to say, the music ain't bad, either):

Thx. Must be needle drops.

The albums from the end o his Argo/Cadet run need CD release also, especially "Extensions". I do like that "Oil Can Harry's" album.

This one is spectacular: As is Ervin, for that matter. But I guess we won't see anything but Binglerosie (your great term) from them, sales concerns being what they are.

Booker Ervin, Booker T. Jones, Cory Booker, I'm a big fan of all three, especially Mr. Ervin. And there's always
