I’d say that one definitely has a chance. The first three are all titles where the original pressing has become rare.

Ah I see. The US version was issued on Timeless Muse right?

if one does, one has to do it right. That guy in the back on that keyboard 🤣 this must give some of the board members here nostalgic feelings. I was born only three years later after this piece of art

oh my 🥰

If both of you like it chances are big I like it. I”ll put it on my Spotify ‘should I buy?’ playlist

I’ve got the same question. It is on my wantlist already…

these two then…. The last is desert island stuff for me

Pat Martino made some damn good stuff for Muse too. Counciousness, Live and The Visit. Amazing stuff. Not looking to replace mine but if this brings more people in touch with his music: let them reissues come!

I didn’t knew this book before but checked it out and you made one hell of a great find! Congrats and enjoy!

Well there is more: Shaws Love Dance and In the Beginning, Carlos Garnetts Black Love and Cosmos Nucleus. Catalysts Unity and Richard Davis’ Dealin. Joe Chambers’ The Almavorid etc. Of course it’s not like Strata East whose catalogue is also significantly smaller but still there’s definitely some in demand titles. One of their starters (The Free Slave) is among them. I am also curious to how those reissues will sound. It’s mentioned here before but I have never been impressed soundwise by a Muse record.

That goes for some Muse titles yes. But the more desired ones can get very pricey. Roy Brooks' The Free Slave, Woody Shaw's Moontrane and Clifford Jordan's Night of the Mark V are some examples.

I could understand the disappointment for those who prefer the cd format. I wish they just do both. No need to always place the vinyl listener in the audiophile loony camp though. I think it’s like Clifford mentioned: the vinyl market is more profitable at the moment. There aren’t a lot of labels that are lead primarily by the ideal of spreading the art. Most of them are just businesses who want to maximize their profits unfortunately.

I’m not the biggest Silver fan and realize this makes me an exception but the personell and song selections got me interested.

That’s very cool. Unfortunately the Muse catalog got neglected for long by the vinyl revival. I think I now have most of the stuff I want but we’ll see. They’ll do some Clifford Jordan and Woody Shaw for sure.

Schopenhauer to relax. Kant to make the brains work

I've recently added Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and sometimes if others were not avaible YouTube links which should make it easier to listen to the music, add to playlists while exploring. From the beginning my Blog is almost invisible for Google. I've spent hours and hours trying to fix the problem, now also with help from AI but I still haven't found out. It frustrates me big time my Blog never shows up in Google search results. Thinking of transferring to another medium but that's gonna be a lot of work again.... https://snake-out.blogspot.com/

Great to hear you found it Guy! It’s an unmissable part in Mals huge discography 👍

Thanks for sharing. I only have LinkedIn but don’t really use it. Sometimes YouTube of course. Thats it. Tend to stay far away from al those other platforms. Part from those awful algorithms and other dubious unethical elements I really don’t feel de need to expose my life to others. Except the jazz part but that’s where I have Organissimo for
