Yesterday evening .... :

Finally hitting the year 1980 ....

Asking prices were high for quite some time .... even when i bought my copy a decade ago ....

With a reason ....

....

Good Choices indeed .... I would go with (at least today) : Mal Waldron Plays The Blues Free At Last Number Nineteen Waldron/Lacy Dreher Paris 1981 One More Time

@Pim : Obviously following question ist up tp the fore : Which 5 of these you would take to the so called "desert island" .... ? No long decision making pls, just straight from the heart ...

Found the Lacy/Waldron .... but still miss (the original red) "Breaking New Ground" japanese Baystate version .... or do you have the later (white cover) Europaen edition which I simply can`t detach .... ?

Probably due to my weary eyes, but missingt : "Breaking New Ground" (Baystate) Lacy/Waldron "Live At Dreher Paris 1981" (hatOLOGY)

Thnx for the hint .... yes I know, but in general not very fond of large box sets (and after decades of buying a lot of music now buying rather conservatively - too much music unheard and books unread on my shelves) .... regarding the Wynn the CD`s I do have are satisfying enough ....

Thereof 1979 ....

Earlier today .... :

Lovely ....

Underappreciated platter .... and very nice Jazzlore transfer ....

Desert island material ....

Wonderful indeed ....

Temperatures keep falling so its time to pull up the heat .....

Would say this "must have" Emil Gilels stuff .... unreservedly recommended ....

Now tackling 1978 ....

Talking of indispensable ....
