I find the Savoys stronger than the Blue Notes for him.

When I go to open the "Complete Nocturne" recordings thread in the "reissues" forum, I get a warning that I am going to a malware site.

Like new condition. $15 shipped in USA or best reasonable offer in cash or trade for CD's.

Which ones are you looking for at this point?

Things that are not bottomless: income, shelf space, listening time, patience/indulgence of significant others...

See my June 29 post.

1 & 2 – Don’t know, but I’m never again going to feel self-conscious about anything I put on one of my BFT’s! 3 – Post-Mahavishnu run amuck. Dense. 4 – Pretty, but I can’t possibly identify it. 5 – As I had previously posted, Jymie Merritt’s “Nommo” from the Max Roach ‘Drums Unlimited’ album. Roach, Merritt, Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, Ronnie Mathews. Half a great album, I could have lived without the drum solos and the W.C. Handy revival. 6 – Nat Adderley “Sister Caroline” from ‘Branching Out’ with Johnny Griffin and the Three Sounds. Never have much liked that whole Gospel Jazz sub-genre, tend to skip over those cuts. 7 – I have to be in a certain mood for this sort of thing, often sad and/or thoughtful. Whoever it is has listened to a lot of Walt Dickerson, but it’s not Dickerson, newer. 8 – I should like this more than I do. I may well own it, but never listen to it. Assume it’s something from one of those 70’s Pharoah Sanders albums, but I can’t identify it right off. 9 – Great stuff. Elvin Jones Jazz Machine, ‘Soul Train’ album, “In A Sentimental Mood”. I’m going to guess that is Andrew White rather than Ari Brown on the tenor solo. Andy McCloud on bass, Marvin Horn on guitar. Don’t own this, wish I did! 10 – “Variations on a Theme by Erik Satie” (recognize it from the second Blood, Sweat, and Tears album). No idea who the pianist or bassist are. Lovely, for sure, but is it jazz? (which is one of my favorite questions to pose for my own BFT postings). 11 – “Round Midnight”. Great version. I hope I have this, and should probably recognize it. Will look into acquiring it (price permitting) if I don’t. I’m going to guess this is the Max Roach version (Odean Pope, Cecil Bridgewater, Calvin Hill) from ‘Chattahoochie Red’, which has never been on CD for some awful reason, and which I have never owned.

I have this one on Avid:

Track 5 is Jymie Merritt's "Nommo" from Max Roach's "Drums Unlimited" album. Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, Ronnie Mathews complete the lineup. Caught that on a quick runthrough, look forward to enjoying the BFT in detail. I know this tune well from it's inclusion on Lee Morgan's "Live at The Lighthouse", first jazz album I ever bought.

Peter Sellers Natalie Merchant Soupy Sales

I listened to the samples, and that desciption isn't far off the mark. Very easy to understand why it was never released, would have sank like a rock in 1969.

Incoming Andorran comments....

Up with edits.

Da Bastids do show an LP of it available for $12.99. Joe Chambers is just awesome on this!

Not a prime candidate for future RIAA Gold Record certification then.

While that has to be a mistake, it ain't gonna be cheap (or anywhere on my radar): Crystal CD edition of "Waltz For Debby" release from Bill Evans Trio. This product is released in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the original recording of the album. Features 2013 DSD remastering based on the US original analog master tapes. This set comes with a Pure LP edition and a SHM-CD edition of the album, both of which use the same DSD master. LP box packaging. *Crystal Disc is made of glass material for pursuing the ultimate audio quality, and it fully compatible with standard CD players.

Saw Roach/Harper/Cecil Bridgewater (I think)/Reggie Workman at Keystone Korner ca. 1976-77. Great stuff. Workman took the greatest bass solo I've ever heard live. Rest of the show wasn't bad either - Dexter Gordon quintet and Bobby Hutcherson group.

So would I, obviously

I have both titles on my sale/trade list. Contact me if interested.
