That’s a great story Peter. Must have been a wonderful experience. Yeah I think that one really stands out in the already excellent Milestone catalogue. The Craft reissue sounds terrific

Thanks! Jan Swerts is a Belgian neoclassical musician with some pop influences. Beautiful music imo but definitely something different than most jazz music.

Had I already said how much I love Voyage to Jericho and how happy I am with the reissue ? I see it’s up for pre order in Europe as well

Sorry what am I missing here?

That looks interesting: Parker and Moholo

Yes that’s a great live album

Mtume plays on a lot of great records. Part from his own Mtume Umoja Ensemble - Alkebu Lan i've found him as sidman on these of my albums: Albert Tootie Heath - Kawaida Buddy Terry - Awareness Buddy Terry - Pure Dynamite Harold Land - New Shade Of Blue Harold Land - Damisi Jimmy Heath - The Gap Sealer McCoy Tyner - Song for my Lady McCoy Tyner - Asante Pharoah Sanders - Love in us All

Bout Soul seems to have a bad rep. I never understood why as I like it very much.

I don’t think the label does cds so vinyl only probably but not sure

Thanks you so much. Very happy with this news

Thanks to @cayetano Frederiksberg Records, based in Brooklyn, New York, is preparing for a 50th-anniversary reissue of the Charles Tyler Ensemble's album *Voyage From Jericho*, to be released on January 23, 2026. Recorded in July 1974 at Studio Wee in New York City and originally released in 1975 by Akba Records, this historic session showcases the group led by saxophonist Charles Tyler (1941-1992) pushing boundaries with intense improvisations, a spiritual side, and raw emotion. Along with top-tier collaborators—including Arthur Blythe, Earl Cross, Ronnie Boykins, and Steve Reid—Tyler shapes a sound where the intensity of free jazz and a poignant depth, celebrating freedom and expression, coexist. This release comes with a 28-page booklet that includes previously unreleased photos, as well as detailed notes by critic, researcher, and essayist Cisco Bradley. This is such great news. Heard this one for the first time only a year ago and fell in love immediately. Such raw and pure energy. Great band as well. So good I was seriously considering saving up money to buy an original in the end. This one will do fine: apparently deluxe version and according to our own @clifford_thornton from the tapes and with consent of the Tyler estate. Looking forward to this!

They haven’t made a bad record but in duo form I’d also highly recommend the Bimhuis record and Sempre Amore.

It’s equally good and there’s much more. They were magic together.

Thats great Kevin. Big fan of Andrew Hill. Truly a one of a kind wonder. Judgement was the last record I needed to obtain to complete my Blue Note Hill collection

Thats a great record indeed. It's been a while since I spun it though.

some excellent bass playing by Mark Levinson here.
