Huh, I wrote that almost two years ago. Not sure if my opinion still holds. I do think, though, that hard bop as a genre was vital to jazz music until the early 1960s, by which point it was largely played out and overly formulaic. Of course, a lot of free jazz is also overly formulaic these days as well. Eventually everything gets played out. Ha! I assumed someone from this forum did. :-)

Fell across this blog, which attempts to review various Mosaic reissues. In this case, a review of Cartler/Bradford set takes the view that the new thing replacing hard bop (jealous ensues, yada yada, yada). Thought it was related to the discussion on this thread.

Benny Golson @ Jazz Standard NYC. Still spy and can blow.

Amen. Possibly my favorite Dolphy anywhere ... although there are some astonishing solos on the new Mingus Mosaic.

Toggling between Mingus and Roach for the last couple of months (no other Mosaics getting much rotation) ... Disc 3 & 4
