Totally agree it is by far the weakest of the lot. I remember the disappointment in real time when it came out and I spent my hard earned $3.99 or whatever on it. But still "interesting" in historical context. Never heard the Arista album, would like to. Heard one vocal cut I actually liked, but I know the reputation the album has.

His entire Impulse run of albums is fascinating. Some dog tracks in there, but they're interesting dog tracks. And a lot of gems.

Yep, he was only 16 when it was recorded. I like the Alan Shorter suggestion a lot. Also Charles Tolliver would have worked, was already recording adventurous records with Jackie McLean.

Someone should grab that AEC set, less than $4 a disc!

They've had jerks since the initial induction. And the biggest HOF crime is the ignoring of Sweet Lou Whitaker, though I also agree Evans is more than worthy (certainly much more so than Jim Rice and Harold Baines, for instance). So much ignorance about baseball. 1961 Yankees, despite all of the home run heroics, barely averaged 5 runs per game because they batted Bobby Richardson (.295 OBP, .610 OPS) and Tony Kubek (.306 OBP) at the top of the order.

Proceed immediately to his acknowledged classic 'The Blues and the Abstract Truth' (with Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, and others onboard), especially "Stolen Moments", then have fun going backwards into his excellent Prestige dates (especially 'Afro-American Sketches') and forwards into the rest of his catalog. 'Swiss Suite" is a favorite album from his later years for me, but there's a lot of wonderful, varied music of his to discover.

Yes!

I enjoyed Blues Project quite a bit. 'Reunion in Central Park' is a sleeper, and 'Live at Cafe Au Go Go' and 'Projections' are acknowledged gems. I am currently listening to this - quite an amazingly talented lady!

Nice lineup on the Fuller, I need to pull out the CD!

I like the Atlantic Trane, Mingus, and Ornette packaging, also the packaging for the Columbia big boxes that have all of the albums by an artist, such as the Miles Davis 70-something CD set, with the mini-lp sleeves inside a bigger box. I actually don't like the Mosaic packages as they are too big and also don't include the original artwork anywhere.

Make believe: Charles Tolliver, Billy Harper, McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Kahlil El'Zabar.

Watkins plays to great effect on the Keno Duke Strata East gem 'Reasons in Tonality' two loooong live cuts with Clifford Jordan, George Coleman, Harold Mabern. Desperately needs CD release.

Great news!

Agreed.

One reason may be that it's not nearly as good an album. Have always been hugely disappointed in it compared to 'Blackstone Legacy'. Had them both on vinyl back in the day, on CD now. I remember I had to special order 'Blackstone Legacy', pay for it in advance (meaningful $ to me back then), and wait weeks for it to come in.

https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/bob-dylan-fragments-time-out-of-mind-sessions-1996-1997/ My favorite Dylan album of the past 40 years, I'm in for the 2CD set.

Good mid-late 50's hard bop, nothing more, nothing less. Julius Watkins on french horn is the mastermind and the main feature. Charlie Rouse on tenor. I'm glad to have it, but haven't listened in years. 2.5 albums on Dawn, and 2 on Atlantic.

Ok sound quality?

Fascinating subject, but I'm concerned about readability. The writing on the blurb the author submitted for Amazon is painfully bad.

Colin Fenton came to my house a couple times when he had business trips from London to Philly, and LWayne Bognar and I met up a great Maria Schneider concert at the Philly Art Museum. Attended a couple of other Philly Art Museum concerts (Eric Alexander, and some organ trio named Organissimo! - got to greet Jim Alfredson then) along with some other local board members who haven't been active in many years, and they also attended the Maria Schneider concert. I think that's it for my in-person history, though some other members and I have some mutual open invitations (including TTK) floating around which I hope to cash in on some day. Not aware of other currently active board members in my area here. Covid wiped out a chance I had to meet up with some of the guys in the Tampa area (Dan Gould and Gary Gray) a couple years ago, and now I no longer have family down there.

I'm very Christian, yet experience the same thrill from the same works (and just as much or even moreso from Billy Harper). The power of God is beyond our full understanding, yet glimpses of it are revealed to us, and we are all created in his image and share in common grace. Probably not a coincidence that Harper and Coltrane are preacher's kids. Would love to discuss at length offline.
