Now streaming: I ordered this disc from @felser yesterday. See his other CDs for sale here. Can't wait to hear Bonner, Houston, and Hart in full fidelity. Until it arrives, the Yoo-Toobz will do.

NP: Hank Jones, Shelly Manne, George Duvivier - In Japan (All Art Jazz, 1991) originally released on Trio Records Japan in 1979 Top-shelf stuff.

That sounds FUN.

Marc Johnson's Right Brain Patrol - Magic Labyrinth (JMT, 1995)

It's a solid date. However, I'd recommend Byard's first collaboration with Michael Marcus, This Happening (1997), over Involution. The earlier album is a piano-sax duo, and they seem less constrained on that session. I kept hoping that they'd let loose a bit more on Involution. But they rarely did, and I find it strangely sedate.

Michael Marcus & The Jaki Byard Trio - Involution (Justin Time, 1998) with Ralph Hamperian (b) and Richard Allen (d)

@soulpope, thank you so much for this background info, a history lesson on Bolet in miniature. As usual, I'm the beneficiary of my fellow forum members' expertise & insight.

In what sense, soulpope? Did the concert & recording create a big splash -- and lead to him becoming more well-known & highly regarded? What do you think of this album, Peter? I always enjoy Vásáry's playing. So soulful and poetic. But I was unaware that he'd recorded for Collins.

NP: Jerry Gonzalez & the Fort Apache Band - Earthdance (Sunnyside, 1991) Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Congas – Jerry Gonzalez Tenor Saxophone – Carter Jefferson Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – Joe Ford Piano – Larry Willis Bass – Andy Gonzalez Drums – Steve Berrios One of my favorite BANDs in the world of jazz. A terrific unit.

What a striking image!

with Orrin Evans (p), Peter Washington (b), and Joe Farnsworth (d)

Now playing: Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 2 / Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra (Sony)

Ella and Louis Again (Verve, 1957) Unabridged 2003 2-CD edition with all cuts from the original 2-LP set Perfection. Seriously, is there ANY music better than this?!? . . . NO. There isn't. 😜

I don't think I've ever heard Determination. Will have to give it a listen. Thx for the heads-up, Rab. NP: Elis Regina - Elis [1973] (Philips Brazil) CD reissue in Japanese series "Brazil's Treasured Masterpieces"

Yes!!! . . . I got lucky. I stumbled across a copy at one of my favorite Discogs retailers, so I snapped it right up. Having the @soulpope seal of approval, it was a "can't miss" buy!

😵 Oh man. That's a bummer.
