this must be Mals most free outing on record. It’s excellent

Yeah I like the two trio a;lbums: Gently Disturbed and From Darkness. Also the live date at the Half Note club and Continuo. He has lost me with his last albums where he also sings.

Yeah Live Evil and Bitches Brew were also from the artists hands I know thanks to Mjzee's post

The day started with some sunshine finally but it’s raining again now here. Time to give this box a spin

Thanks!

Oh yes this is such a great record. Very happy with the TP reissue. I have always loved the cover art. Showed it to my art teaching colleague that doesn’t know a lot about jazz: he said damn that’s a nice cover!

Allright thanks guys both of those series are helpful. I will pick up some of hose separate releases. Have to check out what’s the best way to obtain most tracks. Japanese LPs are definitely attractive to buy. As a matter of fact: Japanese sellers are almost the only ones that sell vinyl on Discogs for reasonable prices. Maybe because the vinyl hype isn’t that big over there. And for me Japanese vinyl is like Japanese cars: high in quality and very reliable.

Is there a LP or LP set compiling Birds small group stuff on Verve excluding the bigband/latin/strings stuff. I already have the complete master takes on cd but would like to have the small group stuff on vinyl as well. His discography is so overcrowded with all sorts of compilations I haven’t managed to find what I am looking for. Maybe you guys could help me or maybe I am looking for something that does not exist.

These are all great and would make one hell of a Mosaic.

Paul Desmond + The Modern Jazz Quartet 🥰

I’d say the 60’s is my favorite OP decade. I enjoy these records a lot more than the drumless trio from the ‘50’s and the Pablo stuff from the 70’s. This Exclusively for My Friends series is lovely and MPS delivered some top quality sound. These 5 dollar discs sound like audiophile records.

I think this one was meant to be one and it really sounds like a very, very solid Blue Note date.

Todays run:

the last McCoy for the day

how bout this one @mjazzg?

Agreed 100%. I’ve learned to like a lot of music by keep playing it. Sometimes you just never reach that point where it works out for you, but a lot of times you do. My shelves are full with music by artists I did not really appreciate at first. Among them are Horace Tapscott, Jackie McLean, Sam Rivers and Wayne Shorter. I wouldn’t want to live without them now!

I am shocked 😵‍💫
