I've always found that Farrell album cover to be exploitative/creepy. But good enough album. As far as the two live sets, count me in for the CD's.

Probably my favourite jazz subgenre.
Yes, the CDJapan machine translations are sometimes quite humorous! Here's another gem from the Shaw post:
"Woody Shaw recorded his album "Wim and Vigor" with Joe Farrell, known for its lost jazz cover"

Track-listings would probably sell me on either or both of these — if anyone can dig that up. Thx!
Thank you, LIbrary of Congress!

I think there was a dbl CD version from his website with even more, but I think those were on a separate Ace CD, IIRC which I probably don't.
Thx. Ace does have two other CD's of his early stuff, about another 50 tracks. I wouldn't mind having them, but am probably good with what I have in my world of finite time, shelf space, and money.

Actually, it would be a blast and very humorous! The exchanges between Dan and me are sincere reflections of very different tastes, but totally good-natured, and we converse offline fairly frequently, send each other music, etc.

@felser - Well, that didn't take long. Billy Harper fools no one. (He posteda great photo of his son and him playing saxophone together. Kid's got a black-and-gold alto, but BH is firing away on his old silver one that he seems to have had overhauled). When they dusted off this tune (so named for BH's Great Dane) for the cookers at the request of David Weiss, Billy's reaction was, "Really?" Not sure how to break this to him, but he doesn't write bad songs. This is from Capra Black, no? Has to be, because that's Elvin. Great pick.
Thanks, yes, from 'Capra Black', which seemed like the obvious album to represent me on this communal BFT!

That's a great album, I even enjoy the bonus tracks on my CD of it, some of which weren't even issued at the time.
The Ace CD with the bonus tracks is also what I have!

Quite a guitar player, and a fine singer.

Can't you write them? 😃 I'd be first in the queue for both
I wish I had the requisite time and talent! McNeill had an utterly fascinating life, studying art with Picasso, designing a USPD postage stamp for Kwaanza, and being a quite celebrated photographer and a college professor in addition to his exquisite music.

Totally comprehensive. Ideal box set.

Give me a book on Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell and Strata-East, and a book on Lloyd McNeill.

Also, the first date with the very young women who was to become my wife was to hear Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in the Minor Key in Detroit. The year was 1960 or 1961. The band was Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Jymie Merritt and Art Blakey
What a great foundation for a lasting relationship! It would have been 1961 with that group, the Morgan/Timmons edition was still in place throughout 1960 and into 1961.

Those 1964 dates were a cut above, though. Imo. It was like a Messenger supernova, a torrent of energy amped up and unleashed one last time.
Understood. 'Indestructible' just explodes into my head when I listen to it.

It's part of the sextet magic run that also included Free For All + Indestructible. Straight line through imo.
+ Mosaic , Three Blind Mice, Buhaina's Delight on BM before the Riverside's. His greatest group (and the trumpet change for Indestructible was fine, that's a killer album. Not gonna go wrong with Lee Morgan, though Freddie Hubbard was killer in that group).

Curious new release from what looks like another new outpost of WXU's enterprise. I wonder if he plans to press these on CD or if this would be a digital-only thing. Some very intriguing potential here.
Agreed, that was quite a group, but $16 for a 66-minute download? Pass.

Same here, sometimes many months later.

I have the Debut album (trio with MIngus/Roach) and like it plenty. How does her other music hold up if your tastes don't really extend to pre-bop styles except for the canonical master musicians?
-
I like it much better than I expected. Doesn't have that static rhythm too many Afro/Cuban sets do.

I treat at least parts of some song lyrics as poetry or, less often, prose. I own Dylan lyrics 1962-1985 book and the Springsteen lyrics book. Dylan's "My Back Pages", "Chimes of Freedom", those are poetry to me. Something like Norman Whitfield's "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and "Cloud Nine" and Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billy Joe" and Mann/Weil's "On Broadway" and Springsteen's "The River" and "Thunder Road" and "Racing in the Streets" are prose to me.
