This is the gem I was not aware of until this series came out last year (I ordered it immediately then), apparently has never been released outside Japan in any form. Farmer/Jackie McLean/Cedar Walton/Sam Jones/Billy Higgins live in 1977? Yes, please!
The fate of a particularly rhythmically-challanged drummer? A cliche-ridden sax player? A pianist too busy on his comping? A bass player taking overly-long solos?
Philly is "youse guys", I don't remember hearing "youse" without "guys". Pittsburgh was/is "yins", Huntsville, Ala. was/is "y'all". Don't remember what it was/is in the other places I've lived (Cincinnati, OH and West Palm Beach, FLA).
We've been getting sleet for a couple of hours on top of about 8" of snow. Just hope it stays sleet and doesn't turn to freezing rain. Temp 17, real feel 3, gonna be tough if we lose power.
Quick count, I think I own six of those, compared to 46 on the first list, FWIW.
As for not mapping out post-1982 non avant-garde jazz, that may reflect the stultifying effect that Wynton Marsalis & Co. had on record labels and producers. Compare 80-90's BN to 60's BN for even the same artists who recorded for them in both eras (the prime example being those McCoy Tyner solo and duo albums in the later era).
Thanks for this! Quick count, I believe I own 46 of them plus burns of the Lasha and Colbert, which I would buy legit CD's/downloads of in a heartbeat. Lots of room to debate the selections, of course, but there are some wonderful recordings on there.
