I see Ed Cherry has a new one coming out on Posi-Tone, which can be pre-ordered at Bandcamp. The is a track currently available for purchase - “Ding Dong” from Understanding. Nice to hear somebody cover that one!

Just picked this up ... 18 years later 🙃

High of -4 on Thursday in Kansas City, with wind gusts in the 20s. A rather startling cold 🥶😀

Wholeheartedly agree!

Question - is there any info on line-ups for this set? I saw the album in a store, but didn't see much on who was in the bands. Edit: OK I read above and saw the reference to the Strut site. Got it!

The CDs and/or their web site tout improved mastering, with little explanation. Given their prior history, I am willing to be open minded, but this all seems a little sketchy.

Same here!

Thanks so much for that - I ended up reading much of the issue! Joe Sample giving Monk & Coltrane 2 & 1/2 stars ... 🤔 I have an eye out for Body Meta.

Oh NBD, thought you might have had it handy. I would be curious if you or anyone has recommendations for the harmolodic material. I have/enjoy "Of Human Feelings" on vinyl, never seen it on CD.

YES, always!

Say Jim, since you have the issue handy, would you mind to post the Greg Tate article? 😊. Half, kidding, I am guessing it is in one of his reader books. Back to Ornette, I love “Of Human Feelings” which I have never seen on CD. Any other favorite harmolodic albums?

Yes this is fantastic. Maybe the Bud I reach for most often. Sound quality of the “who cares” variety. Just a joy to listen to.

Wow - continue to re-visit the live set. Not a huge fan of the studio material from this era, but this thing smokes. The group is very tight and must have been a blast to see live. Not at all poppy or "locked in the 80s". Definitely genre-hopping, kind of this very taut, very in your face funk/blues/jazz/rock mix. Not nearly as dense as his mid-70s bands, but I see much more of a linear connection to those bands than the contemporaneous studio bands convey.

Same here.

Yes, that is fantastic, my favorite of his.

Thanks for the update Jim!

Same here. I embrace most places with the funk/fusion thing going on, but this sounds pretty stale.

Thank-you - never seen that one before - picked it up for $4.00 at discogs!

Thanks Rick - just donated/ordered.

Jim, thanks for taking this on and for 19.5 years of goodness!!

John - is this the one? Thanks https://www.amazon.com/Revolver-Special-Deluxe-2-CD/dp/B0B7SK4117/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2SKT4KWH65ONJ&keywords=revolver&qid=1667096164&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1Ljc4IiwicXNhIjoiNS4zOCIsInFzcCI6IjEuODUifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=revolver%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-2

Hey Dan, nice article!! http://nycjazzrecord.com

I only got around to mine just now …

Based on your recommendation, I bought this. It is delightful!

Is it one of these? I have one of them, but can’t recall which. https://www.discogs.com/artist/671067-The-Jazz-Networks I was conducting the same exercise as you.
