Thanks Lon, So now I have to get it.

thanks Lon and Couw, what explains why it was a Presige LP - how does that wind up on Verve? I haven't listened to "Meditation" in a while - so remind me how essential this stuff is?

It's in the new release section of NYC cd stores this week. Is this the same thing as what I have called "Meditation" on the France's Concert label? THis new release is on Verve from its french company and has an original cover (which I vaguely recognize and thought I had on lp and for some reason thought it was on Candid or Prestige) It is remastered and has extra tracks previously unreleased. Looks tasty. Anyone know the details

I love, really love, this session, but I am a big Andrew Hill and Joe Henderson fan and everybody is just so together on this record. As for the sound quality, as I have previously said, I like the new RVGs and I had the Japanese non-RVG version and sold it after comparing them. I usually find the RVG has a bit more "presence" if that is the right word, than other versions. I love the compositions on this record and Blumenthal hit the nail right on the head when he said in the liner notes that the lovely track "McNeil Island" is reminiscent of "Monk's Mood" on the Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane record. Not that you would confuse a Monk tune with Andrew's writing (they are both true originals) - or Andrew or Joe - with Monk and Trane - but I always thought that track reminded me of something and it think Blumenthal got it right.

Jackie's one of my all time favorites- and those classic Blue Notes are pretty much all fantastic (I haven't heard 'Bout Soul, however), but I haven't liked a disc he has made in the last 10 or 15 years except for Nature Boy, which I think is wonderful.

After thinking about it, I can't propose a better choice than John McLaughlin's Extrapolation - and it's from your side of the pond, too, couw!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure it would be my top pick, but I like Alabama Concerto too! I so think of it as a Cannonball tour de force that I wonder if I should put it with his stuff.

Hey Bebop, stop asking irrelevant questions. It's all about corporate profits!!!!

Sorry to bring this up, but does anyone like how they sound? So far, I got "Inner Urge" and it sounds much better than the McMaster. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

I like the PS Audio power conditioners. I have the P300 but it cost about a grand now, works wonders.

Your memory's half right impossible, because yes about half the tunes are as you say and more outside than Extrapolation - but there are some drop dead gorgeous ballads on this disc too - as lyrical as it gets.

First there is a mountain Then there is no mountain Then there is

I like Where Fortune Smiles a lot too, yes I agree it is not quite Extrapolation even though similar personnel. WFS is overlooked and I would argue very important for McLaughlin fans.

I couldn't make it to the concert but I am very happy for you Dmitry, and I love your photo with Ornette!!!!

Hey congrats. I am amazed you can get that good of a ticket this close to the concert. By the time I thought about it a week or so ago, I figured there weren't be any good seats left. That price is a bit steep, but hey as you said it is Ornette and I love Abby Lincoln too.

No , this is not the Muddy Waters lp, this is a 1982 release featuring Wynton, Branford, and Ellis Marsalis, and Chico and Von Freeman. The LP is near mint and is probably my favorite Wynton recording. $10.00 delivered to anyplace in the US. If not in the US, contact me.

Good bye Brother Ray and thanks for the music!!!!!!!!!

One of the more recent of the duets with Waldron came out, I want to say, not that long ago, and is called Communique and I really like that one a lot.

I would consider a reasonable offer.

Any list that doesn't include Tammy Wynette is just ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

terrible news. He is one of my favorites.

Barry's highly acclaimed method for learning to improvise is distilled into 2 x 2 hour VHS casettes that come in hard shell cases and a 100 page spiral bound booklet which contains the musical concepts written out.
