May be the best Concord album I've ever heard start to finish. Frank Strozier and Conte Candoli shine.

Oh, one of them has apart!

It's a good way to sample artists around the edges at a minimal cost (such as Sal Mosca, Mike Melillo, Mike LeDonne, Scott Wendholdt,Sal Nistico on this latest order for me). The # of jazz CD's (especially interesting ones) jumps up and down on the site, I think when they end up buying a big collection (which they've done a few times in the years I've followed along). They were at 11,000+ jazz CD's a couple of months ago, now at 7700, and I remember them being around 3000 for a long time a few years ago.

I used to put on live Cecil Taylor to clear out parties. So glad we have yet another reissue of A Love Supreme, just what we've been waiting for.

Agreed on all counts. Glad to have it. And those Hutch sessions were the best music BN was recording at that point.

That session was listed as rejected rather than just unissued, though if the three unreleased tracks are on par with the released one, it should be OK listening. I feel like Morgan was in something of a cul-de-sac at that point, and renewed inspiration came with the Lighthouse and Last Album releases.

I asked about a Hutch/Land set many yearsago. IIRC, they were actually trying, but the cross-licensing (BN, Mainstream, Cadet) was troublesome.

I also love the album. One of my very early jazz purchases (Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse was my first along with a Hancock Blue Note 2LP collection).

Love it! Stuart's insights, memories, and stories were my favorite aspect of the Ken Burns Country Music series. I'm not a Country Music fan, but I am fascinated by U.S. History, and that music and culture is an aspect of it. Married to a country star 17 years older than he is (Connie Smith), and started with Lester Flatt as a teenager. Great to hear him doing a nuggets classic, thanks!

Yes, good point, them and Dillards and Gene Clatk.

I believe I have all of his leader sets in some form. Can't speak highly enough of what his music means to me, and he has great personal dignity when you see him live. Hearing "Capra Black" from that last Lee Morgan double album was a stunning experience for me, and I just played it over and over again 50 years ago,

Thx, just starting to work on C's, will be a few weeks to get them out there. Will set these aside for you in the meantime.

Give the vibes players some! #3 (Bags-ish) and especially #8 (Gary Burton-ish) were the highlights for me.

Great BFT, thanks so much! How did a 16 year old TLC recording her first album on a small label come to lead a session with George Coleman, Kenny Barron, and Buster Williams? Will need to pick that up, as it has just been released on a Candid CD. Wish that Lowe were available on CD, it's a gem. Would be nice to come across that Basie and that Budd Johnson some time. Thankfully, I already have the Dizzy's, Blakey, Mitchell, Mobley and Lawrence!

Our friend Ruth Naomi Floyd recorded her first three albums at Systems Two, we were there for sessions for the first ('Paradigms For Modern Times') and third ('Fan Into Flame'). The studio did have a great sound. Good place, though the neighborhood terrified me.

I have bought boxless/bookless sets by Sam Rivers and Quincy Jones, plus partial sets by Joe Pass, Johnny Smith, and J.J. Johnson. Sold the Jones years ago, have been trying to sell or trade the Rivers for years since I was able to acquire the individual Rivers CD's (always my BN preference over a Mosaic set, the artwork was part of the magic for me). The partial sets fill some gaps for me, though I don't like that format for owning the music.

Those 90's BN boxes (Monk, Powell, Clifford Brown, and especially the Dex and Hancock) were beautifully executed. Much prefer them to the Mosaic format. Wish they had continued in that way.

Bobby Zankel is an excellent musician and a good guy. Ruth Naomi Floyd is my wife's old roommate, an incredible talent. She and Zankel have done a lot of work together. Sumi Tonooka is a masterful Philly pianist who has always been greatly underappreciated. First saw her in the 70's at the Ethical Society, when she was barely 20 years old, but she was special even then. The Painted Bride Art Center is my favorite venue in Philly for hearing jazz, so will look to make that show as well as acquiring the CD. I haven't been to a live jazz show in several years, so this will be very special for me. Really looking forward to this one, thanks for the heads-up. If anyone else in the Organissimo community thinks they may make that October 21 show at the Painted Bride Art Center, let me know. Would be great to meet you in person!

I have CD's which run well over 80 minutes (up to 83), and they play OK for me, as does this one. My equipment is not expensive (quite the opposite), but is also not old, purchased new within past five years or so.
