I'd subscribe. Definitely.

Very insightful stuff, imo.

Pops!

I just put a Chet Baker CD back on the shelf. Right next to Baker sits Billy Bang. So now this: That's really cool, Peter. I bet you heard some AMAZING music!

If I'm not mistaken, Supraphon has reissued all of the music in this set. So that's an alternative way to hear it.

Outstanding.

A masterpiece.

Yes, he plays wonderfully here.

Me too! Yeah, it's a good one. But I think Beirach's many duo collaborations with Liebman are even better. For example, Forgotten Fantasies (A&M-Horizon, 1976) is one of my desert-island discs. Nobody ever seems to talk about it -- but I think it's stinkin' brilliant.

The James Gang Gang Green Grant Green

Now on my turntable: Mal Waldron Plays the Blues (Enja, rec. 1971) with Jimmy Woode & Pierre Favre Tremendous.

Excellent.

Next up:

Spinnin' this again:

These aren't "quintets" -- but they date between Shorter's departure and Autumn '71: - Miles at the Fillmore – Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 3 (April & June 1970) -- with Grossman, Corea & Jarrett - The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 (December 1970) -- with Bartz & Jarrett There may be others. I'm not certain.

Yeah, I'm lucky.
