Where I'm thinking it's older. Bass players don't play like that post-Stanley Clarke.

I also saw them live ca. 1988-1989 outdoors at Penn's Landing. Really good show except for Javon Jackson, who was really having an off night. Also saw Philip Harper with Blakey a year or two earlier, and and he tore it up. Benny Green's very first gig with the Jazz Messengers, whenever that would have been. Jean Toussaint on tenor.

1 – I like this a lot. Clean, uncomplicated. First was thinking Grant Green but changed my mind. 2 – Doesn’t really do anything for me. Just sounds like piano noodling on a tune, and he can’t sing. I’m sure he’s a fine pianist, but… 3 - Well done. Trumpet reminds me of Thad Jones, though I don’t remember him doing a trio recording. I like the straight ahead approach of the rhythm section, especially the walking bass. Not exactly my wheelhouse, but quite enjoyable. 1950’s rhythm section feel, but probably recorded later. Maybe one of those 70’s Steeplechase sessions? 4 – Very good for what it is, but not at all my thing. Lester Bowie? 5 – Clifford Jordan? Good stuff. Trying to ID the tune/album. Hope I have this already. Was thinking that Pentagon album that Jordan/Walton did with Ray Mantilla, but this isn't that. 6 – Well, they listened to Getz/Gilberto, didn’t they? I like it fine, but no points for originality. 7 – Certainly a better singer than previous cut, and a better tune. Like this a lot, I could see picking up the CD. Sign me up, and I look forward to the ID. Love the pianist! 8 – Right in my wheelhouse. Tenor player has a beautiful tone. Strong Freddie Hubbard vibes from the trumpeter. Yet doesn’t move me the way #7 does. But still quite good. Wouldn’t surprise me if I have this one on the shelves somewhere. 9 – Oscar Pettiford? Too strong of a 50’s vibe to be Ron Carter. Nice cut, though not something I’d reach for. Suspect I own it already. 10 – Good cut, really enjoying it. Excellent pianist and bassist, listening to each other so well. 11 – Hamiet Bluiett with Fred Hopkins? Knows his way around the baritone, whoever it is. Reminds me of the Chico Freeman/Cecil McBee duets, but this isn’t Freeman and isn’t a tenor. Whatever it is, joins #7 as the two I must pick up. 12 – Very dramatic, I like it. STRONG Gato Barbieri feel but doesn’t sound like the backing he would have used at any point in his career. But I still think it must be Gato. Very curious for ID on this one. 13 – Has to be Amina Claudia Myers, doesn’t it? Part of me really likes this, the other part isn’t sure yet. 14 – Very exciting on surface level. Have never heard anything quite like it! Doubt Harold Arlen foresaw this in 1930 😊. The theology is a mess, of course, but the vibes and the trumpet are great. Kind of an overwhelming experience. A lot of really interesting music here, thanks so much!

As is Nakobe Dean

I'm a 50 year resident of the Philly area and Eagles fan, love Mahomes (though certainly cheering for our Birds, love Hurts also), and this was/is my dream super bowl.

I never heard them on the radio. Just was aware of reputation and took a chance on cd's later on when they were available from, I think, BMG Music Club.

I have a DVD of Smith live at Montreux 2005, and Verlaine is in the band, but not well integrated. He sits in a chair off to the side and takes some (good) solos.

+1

Do those still exist? At one point King of Prussia Plaza had 400+ stores, none that sold music or books. They now have a "boutique" type of rekkid store, where you can get all 32 flavors of Taylor Swift album covers, but nothing like an OJC or BN CD.

Quite a bio (see wikipedia entry below). No idea why he was recorded so little: Horace Emmanuel Arnold, or Horacee Arnold (born September 25, 1937) is an American jazz drummer. He was born in Wayland, Kentucky. Career[edit] Arnold first began playing drums in 1957 in Los Angeles while he was in the United States Coast Guard. In 1959, he began performing as "Horacee" when he joined a big band led by David Baker; he also played with Roland Kirk and Charles Mingus that year. In 1960 he became the drummer in a trio with Cecil McBee and Kirk Lightsey. In the 1960s, he worked in jazz with pianist and composer Hasaan Ibn Ali and Henry Grimes, and in 1964 with the Bud Powell Trio at Birdland). He worked in dance as part of the Alvin Ailey American Dance company on a tour of Asia. Later in the 1960s, he played with Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba; following this he studied composition under Heiner Stadler, Hy Gubenick, and classical guitar with Ralph Towner. In 1967 he founded his own ensemble, the Here and Now Company, with Sam Rivers, Karl Berger, Joe Farrell, and Robin Kenyatta. In the 1970s, Arnold became one of the best-known jazz fusion drummers, playing with Return to Forever, Stan Getz, Archie Shepp, and Billy Harper in addition to releasing two of his own solo albums. Later in the 1970s he formed an ensemble called Colloquium III with Billy Hart and Freddie Waits. In the 1980s Arnold went on to teach at William Paterson College. He worked as a session musician, played with Kenny Burrell, and formed a trio with David Friedman and Anthony Cox. Discography[edit] Tribe (Columbia, 1973) Tales of the Exonerated Flea (Columbia, 1974) With Billy Harper Soran-Bushi, B.H. (Denon, 1978) Billy Harper Quintet in Europe (Soul Note, 1979) The Awakening (Marge, 1979) Somalia (Evidence, 1993 [1995]) With Roswell Rudd Blown Bone (Emanem, 2006; one track)

Excellent album, as is the follow up which has Friedman, John Abercrombie, Sonny Fortune, Ralph Towner, Jan Hammer etc.

Played twice, great condition. Asking $250 shipped in USA, payment by paypal friends and family. Please PM if interested, thanks.

I saw them twice, 30 years apart. July 6, 2006 at the Tweeter Center in Camden, and August 9, 1974 at the Atlantic City Raceway, with Santana and Jesse Colin Young. That was the Santana band that had the amazing Leon Patillo in it (the 'Borboletta' lineup), and they absolutely blew CSNY off the stage.

Mike, here is what you posted to my BFT 213 reveal last year. Maybe you can join in for my BFT 237 this coming December? Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) I should have taken part. The Pointer version of Black Coffee is the best ever, IMO.

His best album of the past 35+ years, someone needs to jump on it!

Indeed. Also love the Village Gate album with "Comin' Home Baby".

My understanding has always been it was with police who were hassling the woman he was with, that it took place outside of one of the NYC jazz clubs.

Not even remotely close:

+1 +1 on "Home to Africa"!

Yes, I have it and it's pretty great.

Additional winners for me: "Capra Black" from Lee Morgan's last album (previously mentioned by Pim) "Blue Train" from the John Coltrane album of the same name "Message From The Nile" from McCoy Tyner's 'Extensions' "Vision" from McCoy Tyner's 'Expansions'

"On The Nile" from Jackie McLean's 'Jacknife'.
