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.

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'.

Totally agree. Fantasy was starting to do some beautiful sets right before they sold out to Concord, such as the three Trane boxes, the Bill Evans Vanguard box, the Miles 1st Classic Quintet box, etc.

Yes , thanks and welcome!

Fresh Sound has a great set of his Riverside albums.

Got what I needed, thanks everyone!

And amazingly, it got critically shredded when it came out. I always liked it, and time has caused a serious re-evaluation of it. Now recognized as the classic it always was. For instance, Robert Christgau: David Crosby: If I Could Only Remember My Name [Atlantic, 1971] This disgraceful performance inspires the first Consumer Guide Competition. The test: Rename David Crosby (he won't know the difference). The prize: One Byrds LP of your choice (he ought to know the difference). The catch: You have to beat my entries. Which are: Rocky Muzak, Roger Crosby, Vaughan Monroe. D-
