Love those Milestone two-fers, huge part of my jazz indoctrination, before and after the OJCs. I used to devour the notes as well as the music, which I “burned” on cassettes to listen while driving 😂

Wow - too young!!

Spent extended time with that one a few months ago. So, so good!

Yes, great feature. I have been a Mac guy since 1984 and through some trial and error, have found Apple Music to be a fantastic solution for my digital music listening.

This is fantastic. Under 40 minutes, taut. Antoine Roney (best I have ever heard from him) and James Hurt are sharp.

Have the Horizon lps *ever* been on CD? Discogs says not. Shame, but will add "Waves ..." to to "to spin" list.

He even shows up here from time to time!

Details at Bandcamp, which I found to be very helpful app/site. Both download and physical product: https://michaelweiss.bandcamp.com/album/homage

You gotta wonder why. Mosaic was able to put out the Woody Shaw Muse stuff - was that prior to Concord buying Muse? I don't understand why you sit on product and don't monetize it. So glad I bought these Hardman/Tucker/Cook records way back when, they are delightful.

Ha ha. Saw the title, immediately thought of “The Harder They Come”!

And those Kenny Burrell jam sessions - Blue Lights? on Blue Note. I love his playing along Tina Brooks and Louis Smith.

Or the massive box with both Muse & Steeplechase!

Oh yes, that is a good one! I pulled it out recently thanks to this thread. How about - The Complete Muse Recordings of Junior Cook, Bill Hardman and Mickey Tucker?

I could not agree more. I am amazed at how good it can sound.

I started with Free Lancing on Columbia. I think Rolling Stone recommended it in the early 80s 😀 I tend to like him more as a sideman than leader, but this one hits the spot for me.

Oh hell yeah! Saw him at my one (and only) visit to the Jazz Showcase.

That Select was a great example of Mosaic being Mosaic. Almost none of it on CD. Not as daring as his 60s work, but very pleasant and hits the spot for me.

Ha ha. I had the same reaction (to the first half of your post).

OK, very familiar with the Philadelphia record store, gave it a quick whirl. $31 (including tax, S&H) bought me this. Pretty hard-boppy in retrospect, but hey, that is my go to. Particularly looking forward to the Von Freeman Chicago CD: Robert Mazurek With Eric Alexander - Green & Blue Joshua Breakstone Featuring Tommy Flanagan And Jimmy Knepper - Evening Star Doug Raney Sextet - Meeting The Tenors N.Y. Hardbop Quintet - A Mere Bag Of Shells Joshua Breakstone Trio - No One New The Jodie Christian Trio - Reminiscing Brad Goode, Von Freeman - Inside Chicago Vol. 1. Sir Charles Thompson - Robbins' Nest Jim Rotondi - Dark Blue Christian Winther - Blue Function Ryan Kisor - The Sidewinder Tardo Hammer - Tardo's Tempo

Yes, they do. I have bought a few things from them - rarely a bargain, but very good packaging, communication and fair grading. Interesting record - and yes, that is a huge number, so far!

I am not a very knowledgeable classical music fan, but somehow found this one. Actually it was recommended to me at Best Buy decades ago. I enjoy it very much.

How do you like the notes/photos?

Yes - this is a great thread and by far the sanest place over there to discuss jazz.

Pulled this out for some reason the other day. Wow - cracking band indeed. Chuck - thanks for making this happen. Really a fun/meaty session!
