felser

up with additions (MJQ, Roach, Donaldson, Stitt) and price drops (Tristano, Herman, Tyner).

Listening to sample now. Looks like you need to order the LP to get the download, and that is running into a good bit of money, and the mix is really bad, with the non-drums percussion way too high as to be quite annoying.

Very fun collection of early work! Leon Patillo !

I wholeheartedly agree!

He wasn't in Santana very long by his own choice (higher calling), but what a monster musician.

Works for me and under $10

Leon Patillo !

80-85% of my listening is done at work - one of the great advantages of having an IT job (thank you Microsoft for changing corporate culture). Life gets in the way of listening at home (how to feed and nurture a marriage, have friends, raise a family including a grandson, etc). Not sure how my corporate employer would take to me having a turntable in here (actually, I am sure....). Also, vinyl takes so much room, and I already have a shortage of that. I have been trading vinyl for CD's with another wonderful board member, which has been win-win for both of us, as he now greatly prefers vinyl, and has the situation to support that. I do understand the appeal of vinyl (somewhat), but it's not for me at this point. But I like a tangible "thing" that I can handle and curate, not computer file bits. Just me, not for everyone. All good wherever one comes down, just thankful to live in such an amazing day and age where so much is available to us, including a lot of great music from the 50's and 60's I thought I'd never get to hear back in my earlier days.

Also helps me to stop spending money, since I'm still committed to the novelty format. I do have lots of Pharoah Sanders on those shiny coaster thingys.

I'm with you. And I own and enjoy those Kudu's. And some of the Esther Phillips titles also. But to enjoy that style, I need it done really well, and that's not something BN did well. Those early Grover's OTOH work fine for me, especially Soul Box with all those Motown covers.

Easily enough done once you get to the magnificent 'Live at the Berliner Jazztage' album. You go completist in the Liberty and especially UA eras at your own risk...

Chico Hamilton sold. Hank Mobley sold.

My wife pointed out that I should share that I willingly make a fool of myself all the time on this board, but I told her I didn't think that was a good idea .

Don't worry about ID'ing the music, just respond on what you like and don't like, and why. There is no right or wrong on that. And the biggest reward to the presenter is just to know that people care enough to listen and respond.

Liebman/Beirach sold.

Board member David Weiss is the organizer of that group! And yes, you need all of their recordings!

All CD's in great shape. All boxes and books in great shape except that the Tyner outer box has a cut on it (all other elements fine). PM if interested. Prices include media rate shipping. Reasonable offers considered. Trades also considered, though not my preference for these. Please PM if interested. Chico Hamilton (6 CD's) $119 Lennie Tristano (6 CD's) $100 Hank Mobley 50's (6 CD's) $95 McCoy Tyner Select (3 CD's) $45 Liebman/Beirach Select (3 CD's) $50 Woody Herman Select (3 CD's) $35 Akiyoshi/Tabackin Select (3 CD's) $75 Modern Jazz Quartet (7 CD's) $105 Max Roach (7 CD's) $150 Sonny Stitt (9 CD's) $105 Lou Donaldson (6 CD's) $150

Well done!

(different cover art)

I do!

Some inspired choices, such as that great Brubeck set (his work with Mulligan was very strong, and very underrated IMO) and the Carter/Bradford, and you got the right Hancock (though 'Crossings' is also pretty great). I do think you're cheating on the Sanders! Though I will grant you that I would have picked 'Black Unity' as my choice for the decade. Have never heard the O'Day. The Simmons is an interesting title, but not an easy listen, even compared to his other work. Only real objection is the Crawford, where I definitely would have gone with 'Wildflower'. But overall, very well done, bring on 1971!

Glorious listen:

Yes, it combines your multiple posts if no one else posts in between.
