Thank you for that lead. I was not familiar with that version (apparently the original recording), or with Radcliffe at all. You're right, it's a wonderful record. The Walter Jackson is also stunning. Even more gut-wrenching (for me, at least) than the Radcliffe or Walker versions, especially considering Jackson's life.

My ship is coming in...RIP. (this hit #3 on the UK charts, tanked in USA for some reason I've never been able to fathom) The ultimate performance of the most sophisticated anti-Vietnam-War song ever written. Stunning.

If it were Blue Note or Prestige from the 50's, it would be "Pimpin' and Primpin' "

HutchFan, best wishes for a speedy recovery! Here's what I spent my evening watching/listening to (2CD/DVD set - highly recommended):

I highly recommend those Mosaics at those prices!

Their pre-orders don't get there the day of release, like Amazon, but they arrive within a few days.

What I tend to do is leave my Amazon pre-order in place, and not pre-order from Importcds, and watch the price on Amazon close to the release date and make a decision which way to go.

They have gotten more competitive. I noticed I was buying from them frequently on ebay. Their direct website often has different pricing than their prices on ebay, in both directions. My experieces with them have been good, and I have bought many hundreds of CD's from them.

Just checked, much lower price on importcds ($14.04 + $2.98 shipping vs. $19.98). I'll likely end up cancelling my Amazon pre-order. https://www.importcds.com/live-in-basel-1980/8435395502372

They smile at you honey, sometimes they want to take your money.

Me too, thanks for the heads-up on the CD version!

Wish it were that easy. I'm not really set up for vinyl at this point, and they don't seem to be available on CD or digital.

Familiar with her work done with ex-husband Sonny Simmons. What else by her? I know she led a couple of dates with Carter Jefferson, et al, but I have never heard them.

I think I like his playing a lot and love his writing, and am not sure how to separate them sometimes. I'm sure Freddie Hubbard has to rate #1 for me in pure playing (favorite, I am not qualified to select "best"). And I really like Hannibal Peterson. Hannibal and Tolliver play more like Coltrane than like the usual trumpet players to me. I also really liked the VERY early Wynton Marsalis playing with Blakey. Hope that last sentence doesn't get me shamed off the website .

That's also my understanding. I believe I have everything else he did as a leader on CD.

I also like it a lot. Perfectly listenable as long as you don't expect more than that.

https://www.audaud.com/charles-tolliver-charles-tolliver-all-stars-pure-pleasure-records/ Just saw this in the jazzmessengers new release email. Still looking for a CD of it... Also, Clifford Jordan's masterpiece, Glass Bead Games, in the same vinyl series. https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/79969/clifford-jordan/glass-bead-games?mc_cid=2fecb9c998&mc_eid=d43870520b

I think it's an utter mess, but an interesting utter mess. I do still own it, which says something. I hear you, but that maybe calls into question the idea of doing that concert in the first place. I heard McCoy Tyner and Marian McPartland play together at an encore at the Tower Theatre 20ish years ago. They retained their identities, but met each other somewhere that worked. Of course, McPartland did that all the time on her radio show. Did not know about the aspects of Mary Lou you are sharing, but easy enough to understand how some of that would have come about, given what she may have experienced in the biz.

Yep. This 90's album is a monster:

Me too, $25.49 from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/24x35-Great-Harlem-Portrait-Poster/dp/B000O2C0LQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=9HH2VLQDFF00&keywords=great+day+in+harlem+poster&qid=1553271254&s=gateway&sprefix=great+day+in+harle%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-3

I actually do own that CD, which is what prompted me to ask the question! Is that recording the performance you saw?

Was it a train wreck? I love Williams. but doesn't seem like Taylor did.

Blakey (twice), McPartland, Rollins (twice). I was scheduled to see Dizzy at Penn's Landing in 1992, but he was ill, and the band functioned as a tribute band instead. Still remember the trumpet section - Jon Faddis and Freddie Hubbard, who were egging each other on, and Wynton Marsalis, who was having none of it.
