Nice! Love the Cornbread T-shirt too!

Continuing my RUSH kick with . . . Rush - Counterparts (Atlantic/Anthem, 1993) It's by Canadian graphic artist Hugh Syme. He designed Rush's covers from the mid-70s onwards. I like how the simple, red exterior contrasts with the minutely detailed inner gatefold image -- with the three spheres providing continuity across both:

Oscar Peterson Trio + One Clark Terry (Mercury, 1964) with Ray Brown & Ed Thigpen

More Jimmy Rushing: Listen to the Blues with Jimmy Rushing -- with Pete Johnson & Band (Jazztone, 1956)

The Jazz Odyssey of James Rushing Esq. -- with Buck Clayton & His Orchestra (Columbia, 1957)

No argument from me on that.

Enrico Rava Quintet - Andanada (Soul Note, 1983) with Pietro Tonolo (ts), Franco D'Andrea (p), Giovanni Tomasso (el-b), and Bruce Ditmas (d)

Next up: Joanne Brackeen with Eddie Gomez - Prism (Choice, 1979)

Now spinning: Quincy Jones - Gula Matari (A&M, 1970) ❤️

That's a terrific record.

Freddie Hubbard – trumpet Hadley Caliman – tenor saxophone, flute Phil Ranelin – trombone Billy Childs – keyboards, piano Larry Klein – bass Carl Burnett – drums Paulinho da Costa – percussion

Rush - Hold Your Fire (Mercury, 1987)

Yep. I fully agree.

Rush - A Show of Hands (Mercury/Anthem) Live recordings from the Power Windows (1986) and Hold Your Fire (1988) tours.

Next up: Freddie Hubbard - Skagly (Columbia, 1980)

Shocked & saddened to hear this news. R.I.P. He loved the music.

Japanese pressing Yes. "Baffling" for sure. I was hoping Elemental would include it in their Xanadu reissue series from a few years ago. But no luck. They chose Cuber Libre instead.

Another one from James Moody: Comin' on Strong (Argo/Cadet, 1964)

Just looking back thru this thread, I was immediately struck by Mike's comments about Mwandishi and Crossings from ten years ago. I couldn't agree more! They're MIND-BLOWERS.

So true. He was a giant.
