I think the Third Man releases are all from a digital source. I’ve got Black Unity and Ptah the el Daoud. The Ptah sounds okay, the Black Unity not so much.

Greats stuff. Already pre ordered at a local store

https://www.dustygroove.com/item/157573/John-Carter-Bobby-Bradford:Self-Determination-Music?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date vinyl reissue upcoming. Essential music

this double LP contains some of the best Coltrane I know. Songs like Living Space (that Tyner solo 😮) and Feelin Good. You could hardly believe it wasn’t released immediately. Of course all of it was later added as bonus tracks on the Impulse! CD’s and Living Space was a release on itself. Those were among my first jazz cd’s and I still cherish this music.

Be safe all of you there! Will be following it on the news here.

Great news. Please do let us know how you like them! I let them collect all the volumes and ship them all at once saving costs. I am hoping these will finish before Christmas. This would be a great Christmas gift to myself ☺️

More reason to give it another try 👍

Mal Waldron - From Dark Into the Light One of his best latest records. Romanian tenor sax player Nicolas Simion is an excellent replacement for Jim Pepper. He has that same powerful tone. Time for a Waldron Tutu Mosaic box?

Maybe I should give it another spin. After all we tend to like the same things mostly

More showers here tomorrow but I’ll blow them directly back to Britain!

Haha I haven’t. I just make sure the LP labels are at the lower edge and the cover at the upper edge awful weather here today so a good opportunity to spin some music

That's a great record.How did your kids like it? (The record and the trip)

Frank Fosters Loud Minority - Manhattan Fever. Pretty dull and disappointing record. Gary Peacock - Tales from Another Vignette and the Trilogy suite are amazing. I would dare to say that this excellent Peacock date could do without Jarrets singing.

Again the Pepper box. Music that probably everyone around here already owned and enjoyed for long time but I had a hard time enjoying Pepper for a long time. But I had a similar thing with Jackie McLean who I now regard as one of my favorite sax players. Anyway this excellent Japanese 3LP contain three of the Village Vanguard nights. Excellent compilation in excellent sound. Enjoying it very much. Another cool cat I enjoy very much. This would be a great selection for the Craft Contemporary series. Side A sometimes sounds Third Stream in my ears. Very interesting stuff with great playing by the whole band.

You just made me find another empty spot in my Harper collection. Sounds great

Added them to my Spotify wishlist thanks!

Can’t believe I’ve never seen that one before. What a line up and I love both those tunes so much!

Mal played some more electric piano on this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/752450-Embryo-Rocksession pretty much in the style of The Call. Very nice record also with Jimmy Jackson. I’ve reviewed it here: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1971-embryo-rocksession.html?m=1 equally as good is: https://www.discogs.com/release/2689459-Embryo-3-Featuring-Jimmy-Jackson-Steig-Aus I reviewed it here: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1970-embryo-steig-aus.html?m=1 then finally there’s this one: https://www.discogs.com/master/963637-Mal-Waldron-Candy-Girl Mal is credited as composer only but I am 99.9 percent sure that Mals playing here. Or Frank Abel overdubs himself with the best Mal Waldron imitation I’ve ever heard. It’s a more funky album. Not essential but interesting to hear Mal in this setting: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/01/1974-candy-girl-12.html?m=1
