That's a TERRIFIC record! 👍

Arthur Blythe - Blythe Spirit (Columbia, 1981)

Steve Lacy - The Door (Novus, 1989)

Bobby Previte - Weather Clear, Track Fast (Enja, 1991) Beautiful, composition-oriented jazz -- almost like a suite -- with especially compelling interaction between Previte and bassist Anthony Cox.

I'm in.

Dave Liebman - Homage to John Coltrane (Owl, 1987) One of several albums that Lieb has made in honor of Coltrane.

Adam Makowicz - Adam (Columbia) First listen. A recent dollar bin find.

A good problem to have! ... You're right on a certain level tho'. There's NOTHING comprehensive about these lists. There's a lot a randomness as to what bubbles up. ... Even so, it's still interesting to see what gets thrown out there. I'm aleady making a list of recordings that I want to investigate, all from recommendations on this thread.

Very nice! I have the Concord vinyl reissue. I think I'll listen to it too. 🙂

LOL NP: Helluva record. That cover is damn weird though. I understand that it's supposed to be a playing card design. But it's still weird.

I just realized that I missed another disc. This should've been on my favorites list:

I remember seeing a photo of Miles Davis from some time back in the Seventies. He was wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with a logo like this one: Miles knew a fellow titan when he heard one!

NOT a problem!!! I should have included this one on my list. An oversight! Oh man, Willie Nelson! Yes! Actually, I went on a Willie-bender this year, focusing on the years before his big breakthrough in the mid-70s. He was a complete original right from the start. . . . As far as I'm concerned, Willie is one of the TITANS of American music, up there with Dylan and Duke and Ray and such.
