More info than I could have ever imagined!

Some thoughts on The Piano Choir. Yes, would be nice to hear that third one. The second Strata-East album was actually fairly awful, a huge disappointment (as were so many of the later Strata-East albums after the incredible first rush of releases they had). I always liked the first one, had the 2LP vinyl back in the day, picked up the CD when it came out. Very disappointed that they dropped 36 minutes of the vinyl on the CD (though I'll admit it was the right 36 minutes to drop if they had to drop something). Their complete recordings would make a nice 3CD set for some enterprising company like Corbett vs. Dempsey.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Sonny's response to the Schuller article was something like "Really, I did all that? I thought I just played the saxophone."

"Nica's Dream" by The Jazz Messengers is another outstanding extended track from 1956. "Blue 7" is sublime.

I care! Would be glad to pay for shipping.

They look nice, what sizes are available?

Good stuff, very different. What are these badge things?

The second cut sounds really good to me, and even "Black Byrd" is looser than the studio version. I'm in.

Same here, as far as liking some of the shows better. Has always been one of those albums I respect more than I enjoy or play. Also the cut n Santana's 'Welcome' where they collaborate ("Flame-Sky") is, to me, far superior to anything on this album. This one always felt "cold" to me, though it's technically dazzling. Plus the back cover is so creepy. Be sure to read Robert Christgau's short review of this album in his 70's Rock Albums book.

$11.98 on Amazon for the CD, so I'll take the leap.

First ever issue of this material on December 9. I am semi-interested, will spring for the CD. On the one hand, you have the Mizell Bros. present. On the other hand, you have Nathan Davis (!) and Henry Franklin. http://news.theurbanmusicscene.com/2022/11/donald-byrd-live-cookin-with-blue-note-at-montreux/

MIne is shipping.I have a tracking #.

Check out the Columbia albums with Charles Lloyd and Gabor Szabo.

Just recently realize he had played on Zappa's The Grand Wazoo. I have a few things by him decades apart, seriously talented and underrecorded/underappriciated guy. RIP. 94 is a good run.

I have a (low) price point where I would get it, would like to hear the live disc.

I have 6,7,8, may need to look into 2.

I'll cash in on some of the low-hanging fruit that others have left: #2 is cut 4 from this #6 is cut 5 from this #7 is cut 6 from this #8 is cut 7 from this #10 is cut 4 from this

I have everything previously released up through "Jazz-Blues Fusion", so I can probably sell off enough of those to pay for the set.

Thanks! Order placed, hope they honor it!

That album was my introduction to Lloyd ca. 1972/1973 courtesy of the Norristown/Montgomery County Public Library. They also had the amazing 'El Pampero' by Gato Barbieri - those two albums left a lasting impression on me. Can't remember what other jazz albums I borrowed from there, but they had several.

'In The Soviet Union' with a great 18 minute "Sweet Georgia Bright"?
