Oh my, bop doesn’t get much better than this

You're only well integrated as a Dutchman when you complain about the weather Niko, so please do so. The weather is really shitty here for weeks now and the forecasts ain't looking good.... Rain, wind, 9 degrees celsius.... typical Dutch winter. That's a great album I only recently discovered!

more Don Byas

Oh boy poor him….. Now spinning: another great Sam Rivers live record.

Why didn’t Don Byas sign up with Verve or a label like that? I am not familiar with his life. Was it personal problems?

How’s that Jimmy Woode? Never heard him as a leader but I love his bass playing with Mal Waldron.

Yeah me too. Remember Fontella Bass vocals on theme de yo-yo

I think you will like it

Sam Rivers’ Impulse! output is amazing. Especially the group with Cecil McBee and Barry Altschul.

Sometimes.... It's mostly with certain artists. If I spin one Coltrane, Waldron, Harper or Tolliver record I sometimes can't stop and keep playing their music for a week or so.

Good to see him still going strong

fantastic live performances. Especially the Isle of Wight stuff is steaming like a…. well we all know what word Miles would use

Stop making me more impatience and greedy really looking forward to it

Definitely. And that particular album is like a modern classic. It deserves a good reissue. The cd copy is doing more than 40 euros on Discogs

http://nobusinessrecords.com/archive-series-sam-rivers-5lp-box-set.html The LP box is upcoming with some stuff that wasn't released before. I stick to my cd's. The first four volumes are among Rivers' finest work. The last two were okay and the sound of volume 5 really sucks.

It was a pretty cool morning here
