  1. Listening to this one now trough Spotify and I am fascinated by it. Sound is pretty bad. Does anyone know if the 2008 cd reissue was an improvement over the original LP?
     

    For those unfamiliar with it: it’s with Jerome Cooper, Khan Jamal and some lesser know but excellent musicians:

     

  2. Happy birthday mr. Haynes. So much respect for you and all your contributions to the music. I wish I'd been able to tell people I played with both Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.... As long as it's in good health: many years for you to come please!

    Fair point. I think, however, that there is a tendency to equate the "local rhythm section" with amateurs, when we know that's not the case with Mal's collaborators on these dates.

    I should have been more clear. With local I did not necessarily mean amateur.  But they were local and never really got a superstar status while they all really shine on those Waldron records. Isla Eckingers bass playing is stunning for example.

    I didn't ask too many details, keeping some elements of surprise, so not sure. But I think it is a quartet date, and like often with Sam records was recorded in Paris. Maybe @Pim could make an educated guess based on this?

    I looked up the mail from Fred but I now see he did not give any details on format or personell. Mal was a very busy bee in those years, playing with so many musicians. I’d say chances are big it’s a trio date with some local musicians but it could be anything really :)

    That’s one I could listen to for hours.

    now playing:

    32 Jazz is notorious for their ugly artwork which looks like it was made in Microsoft Word 1995 edition… but now that I am listening to it on headphones I can’t say I really like the sound either. Way too much bass in my right ear. I don’t know how the original copies sound. Anyway this session deserves a proper reissue on cd and vinyl. But that goes for a large part of the Muse catalogue.

    Always thought this is sounding like a mid60's NDR Jazzworkshop session ....

    Don’t know how those sound but the Shihab record is very nice. Not a five star thing but definitely more than average. Worth having very well!

    Enjoying this greatly, as well as the Heath brothers live record. Also like getting these directly at Fred's shop in my area and having a chat. Nice upcoming records too from what I hear!

    Which ones did he mention? I know there’s a 1969 Mal Waldron trio session upcoming I a looking very much forward to.
