I picked this one up based on Jim's (and others') comments above. I'm diggin' it! Any other Rollins recommendations that fit into a similar mold as EBR? I suspect his other works on Impulse may be similar.

Me too! That's the 928 I believe, no? You don't see many anymore.

There is a joke in here somewhere. Nice ride rb. No, I'm serious

Love that Volvo Peter! I used to live down the street from some guy that had one sitting on blocks. I begged him to sell it, but he wouldn't part with it.

Here's my ride. My wife calls it my "midlife" crisis. I told her if I was having a midlife crisis, I'd get a girlfriend, not a TT.

I love the shot of Lou Donaldson and his band outside of RVGs studio that was on the back cover of the Mosaic catalog that featured the Donaldson set.

Get yourself a French Press. These make the best cup of coffee IMO.

I like the Hill cover. I wonder what MOTHER SHIP looks like?

Yes it does. Great session! Love John Gilmore's work here.

Oh Yeah, this is a fine choice! Not my favorite Shepp, but there's some fine playing and arrangements here never-the-less. I'll have more to say after spinnin' it again over the weekend.

One of my favorite actors! Not a great move, but one that I always enjoy is Thunder Bay with Dan Dureya (sp?). Another of my favorites is Strategic Air Command with June Allison. The FBI Story is a good one too.

As a guitar player, Neil's playing has always been a huge influence on me. As mentioned above, he's not big on technique, but he packs tons of emotion into every note. I'd rather listen to a guy like Neil who can say more with a few notes than others try to say with hundreds.

There used to be a good rib joint on either First or Second Ave in the 50s called Wyle's. I don't know if they're still in business, but they grilled up a nice rack. Also offered a nice fried onion brick.

A few more: Altman's The Player Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and Paths of Glory Wilder's ONE,TWO,THREE Siegal's Invasion of the Body Snatchers Scorcese's Goodfellas

I'll have to check out Black Rennassance soon. Hey RT, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Brilliant Circles - it's a great session, despite the piss-poor sound quality. Fortunately, Woody's parts tend to be high in the mix, as opposed to Tyrone Washington's and Hutch's. I hope someone re-releases this one in the near future.

Probably my favorite Hutch session of all those that I've heard. Spaulding put's in a nice day's work on this one.

Both Vol 1 and 2 are real cool, but I prefer Vol 2.

Great idea for a thread RT. I love Woody and have never been disappointed by anything that I've heard, either as a leader or sideman. One session that comes to mind that I really like is Lotus Flower on the Enja label. Nice playing by all, particularly Woody and Steve Turre. I also dig the Mosaic set - it has a nice balance between his smaller and larger working units. The Muse output is real good too; particularly Little Red's Fantasy. I've never had an opportunity to hear the infamous Stepping Stones, but I'll probably grab a vinyl copy in the near future since I don't know if it will make it to CD. As an aside, I recently found out that Woody's sister used to work at my job. I would have loved to speak to her had I known.

Almost anything by Hitchcock, but particularly North by Northwest and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

I also just picked up Moon Rappin' and I'm liking it quite a bit! I just ordered Horace Tapscott's DARK TREE Vol 1and 2 and I'm looking forward to hearing this highly recommended session.

I'm sure some knucklehead will buy this.

No mistaking Ike Quebec. I can always pick-out Sam Rivers and Woody Shaw also.

Andrew Hill - Smokestack Even though they give it ***, I think the review does this session an injustice:
