Honest question - did Joe Zawinul fundamentally change Wayne Shorter?

I've finally found a description of a group in life where I comfortably fit - "music geeks who like esoteric, retro music". Thank you!

IIRC 40 years later, Dexter was a special add-on, the double bill was scheduled to be Roach and Hutch. And I would not have been there in May, would have been there in November. My parents had 49'ers season tickets, so I used to go out during football season Here is an excerpt I found from the Keystone Korner book. Think it must be George Cables speaking. Christmas week sounds right, I remember going out to spend Christmas with my family in either '76 or '77. "114 I remember when I played with Dexter – I don’t know if this was the first time I played with Dexter there or not, but the marquee said, “Max, Dex, Hutch.” That was a Christmas/New Year’s week, a hell of a celebration. First, I’d play with Bobby [Hutcherson]; Bobby came on first. Then, Max [Roach] would come on with his piano-less band. And then, I’d come back and play [with Dexter]. The whole week! That was wonderful."

Yes, also Rahsaan recorded the 'Bright Moments' double album there. I saw triple bill of Dex/Max Roach (with Billy Harper)/Bobby Hutcherson there ca. 1976/77, saw John Hendricks' Evolution of the Blues nearby the same week.

Pentangle "The Time Has Come" 4CD box set including CD of live broadcast rarities. Excellent condition except that, as with so many of those book-sized sets, the stapled booklet has come loose from the binding. But still totally functional and whole. I will sell for $35 shipped in USA or best reasonable offer. Also have the six classic albums available on excellent 2001-2004 Castle CD reissues. "Pentangle", "Sweet Child" (2CD set), and "Basket of Light" all have bonus cuts (22 in total), "Cruel Sister", "Reflection", and "Solomon's Seal" are all straight reissues. All for $5 shipped in USA or best reasonable offer. Any of the above available for interesting trade, especially of mid-late-60's/ early-70's obscure but worthy folk-rock/psych/prog or very into exploring krautrock. PM or email john.felser@verizon.net if interested.

One pretty awesome cut out on youtube. Would love to have this, or at least hear the rest!

Can anyone give a description of the Mine and the Ohno? I find items like the early-70's Kikuchi sessions to be intriguing, but need to tread cautiously at Japanese import prices.

Excellent set, I have one of the Japanese CD's of it. The one idea I ever submitted to Mosaic was for a Hutcherson-Land box to include this, the Land Mainstream dates with Hutcherson, and the Hutcherson Blue Notes with Land (and grab that one great live cut from ENJA). They said they were going to try, but I guess the cross-licensing was prohibitive.

Yes it is, and pretty unique entry in the Rivers canon.

Home to Sarah Vaughan's greatest recordings.

Available for listening on youtube.

Lee Morgan - The Gigolo. Love the title track!

Same thoughts here. I am very happy with the two previous sets, this would have to include something really meaningful from the 71-75 period to get me to even consider it, let alone pull the trigger.

Understood (for 45 years), but the Land CD reissue was messed up (hope it's not the master tape) - I have a burn from vinyl that is sonically far superior. A good needle drop would be a meaningful improvement over what was released in the spring. And I'm not one of those guys who longs for a return to analogue or anything. Wait to see what the third-party resellers do price-wise (looking at you, Import-CD's and OxfordshireEngland)

'Full Moon Fever', 'Into The Great Wide Open', and 'Hypnotic Eye' were all top 10 albums in the UK, with 'Into The Great Wide Open' going to #3.

We get another shot of Harold Land's "A New Shade of Blue" being released on CD. Hope this label gets it right, as the Japanese label butchered it in the spring (out this weekend according to Amazon). https://www.amazon.com/New-Shade-Blue-HAROLD-LAND/dp/B071XF7FBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1507068139&sr=1-1&keywords=harold+land+a+new+shade+of+blue

Go here and look at the titles on Acadia and Floating World. Good stuff. https://www.discogs.com/artist/270578-Spirit-8

I have a lot of the later live archival stuff, and enjoy it, but it's all Randy California. If you enjoy the idea of him doing extended takes on classic titles, it's for you, But the pop sensibilities of Jay Ferguson and the dynamics of John Locke are long gone, If you like Ferguson (I do), check out the four albums by Jo Jo Gunne. Those are probably the next purchase after the four classic Spirit titles, ahead of the later California Spirit titles.

And how is the sound quaility. Are there any samples available anywhere?

HUGE fan here, and his loss seems inevitable, even if the official reporting was premature. "Refugee" and "Here Comes My Girl" helped shape my world. One of the greatest live bands ever, along with Springsteen/E-Street.

Yeah, I can still see the Record Museum cutout sticker on my copy of it in my mind. Was my second album by Weston, along with the Montreux set he did with Harper (also a cutout - on my income back then, they were almost always cutouts. And whatever happened to cutout bins - where do out of print CD's go now?).
