All four of these are MP3 to CD upgrades:

Another guitar trio record: A classic!

Next up -- Cannonball & his band live in '66:

Disc 1 - originally released as In This Korner (1978) I love these later Blakey bands with James Williams and Bobby Watson.

Clifford, I hope the event goes wonderfully.

Next up: Larry Willis Trio - The Big Push (HighNote, 2006) with Buster Williams (!!!) and Al Foster

More Baden Powell:

Now this: Disc 2 - Selections from Powell's Festival recordings (1970-1977)

I love that recording of Mahler's Sixth!

R.I.P.

Another thing that confused me: Why does the album list extend back in time to 1964 when the topic at hand is jazz between Coltrane's passing (1967) and Lee Morgan's passing (1972). Not to be pedantic -- but those mid-60s Blues Notes and other selections (like Miles Smiles and ESP) don't fit in the chronology. There's other choices that he could've made that would have been more representative of those six years. For example, why not Wayne's Odyssey of Iska instead of Juju ??? Iska seems much more representative of the musical evolution that was happening during that era. The same could be said of the selection for Herbie. Why not pick The Prisoner, which seems more in alignment with the spirit of the times (1967-72), rather than Maiden Voyage. (And I'm not even mentioning Mwandishi!) Likewise, Woody Shaw. Blackstone Legacy tells the story of the era more accurately than Cassandranite/In the Beginning! It's odd. All that said: I'm glad Iverson wrote the article. If nothing else, it's stimulating some discussion!

Hank Crawford - Memphis, Ray and a Touch of Moody (32 Jazz, 2 CDs) Disc 2 - Originally released as two Atlantic LPs: Soul of the Ballad and Dig These Blues

Horenstein's recording of Mahler's Third is justly famous -- but I think his recording of Mahler's First is even better.

I'm not familiar with that one. Looks fascinating. I'll check it out! 👍
