Milestone Bartz. Ah! "Perihelion And Aphelion" from Another Earth. I keep forgetting that that record has a Side 2...reminder both needed and appreciated. Glad to be of service . Now , if we could just get someone to issue 'Home' on CD...

Or five and a half...

I just ordered the EWF, and it come to 28.08 pounds including shipping to USA. Thanks for the tip!

Depending on where you order from, aDE's 35€ might be the better offer: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00IOQSW7A/ I've eyed this, but I really know sh*t about the music it contains ... would it be of interest to someone (uhm, me) who prefers soul the raw southern (Stax) way? NO............ It is great stuff, but it is the antithesis of raw & southern.

Those Blue Note hard bop albums, "Capuchin Swing", "Bluesnik", "Jackie's Bag" and the like, were wonderful.

Just enjoy! Hope you discover some new music you like.

"Appointment in Ghana", followed by "Melody for Melanie".

I second that emotion. The title track is a landmark, and "Empty Faces" is on this album.

I saw Klemmer open for Weather Report ca. 1975-1976. He wasn't bad, not goofy like in Bill's story. But he seemed to really be going somewhere with those Chess and Impulse recordings, then really went off the rails. I love the track "Touch" and like that album and 'Barefoot Ballet' OK, but their success seems to have ruined him. 'Course, he has always seemed to march to a different drummer, so it may have been inevitable.

Actually, I'm not very surprised. I always liked Mendes and have been exploring Latin music a lot lately and intending to get properly into him soon. This will encourage me to do that sooner, rather than later. Thanks. MG This is a good starting place. 48 cuts, all from the prime A&M era, including the one from this BFT.

Bob Dylan - "Like a Rolling Stone" Simon & Garfunkel - "Sounds of Silence" Byrds - "Eight Miles High" Byrds - "Renaissance Fair" We Five - "You Let a Love Burn Out" H.P. Lovecraft - "Wayfaring Stranger" Quicksilver Messenger Service - "The Fool" Jimi Hendrix - "All Along The Watchtower" Jefferson Airplane - "Wooden Ships" Santana - "Every Step of the Way" Wishbone Ash - "Phoenix" Labelle - "Phoenix (The Amazing Flight of a Lone Star)" Gil Scott-Heron - "Peace Be With You Brother" U2 - "I Will Follow" Bangles - "Hazy Shade of Winter" Neil Young - "Rockin' in the Free World"

Thanks, so glad you're enjoying it! I did give some thought to flow, nice that it was recognized.

I find late Pepper really grabs me. I admire 50's Pepper, relish 70's-80's Pepper

Yes. Rest is excellent if you like Trible (and liked Thomas). I do and did.

Milestone Bartz. Yes, Trible. The interesting names are the tenor player and pianist. Thrilled that you share the love for the Callier cut!

I own a half dozen of these cuts that I didn't ID (Cowell. Muhammad which I reakky liked, Hill, Mitchell-Ruff, Lytle. Whitaker, Klemmer), plus the Blakey I ID'd, but primarily come away wondering "who in the world is D.B. Shrier and how do I get that album"?

'One Step Beyond' and 'Jacknife'.

Yes!

Glad you're enjoying it, thanks. #6 is not Bridgewater, and it not being Bridgewater is one of the specifics I designed into this BFT (I certainly would have guessed Bridgewater if I didn't know better)! What I'm saying makes little sense now, but will be clearer at the reveal when I explain it.

Thank you for your kind words! You are correct on #3. I always thought that was a magical little track, may be the first thing I ever heard by Hubbard.

I remember talking to Bryan Carrott at a recording session many years ago about the Ralph Peterson Fo'tet recordings he played on. I mentioned that I found Don Byron's playing to be more interesting than Steve Wilson's in that group. He didn't comment at all, good or bad, about Byron, but praised Wilson as someone who was gaining a reputation as a guy who you could count on to come in and take care of business in any situation. So there is also that to be said about professionalism.

If being a dedicated follower of an artist, it`s sometimes hard to follow certain turns of the artist`s career - collectors are sometimes endangered to be trapped in a romantistic view.....to me it was priceless to witness some of my "heroes" simply being glad to be served some quality food, raising my awareness they are doing this for living (beneath an artistic merit)... Thanks for the previous explanation. It's very helpful, though painful to read.
