I wholeheartedly agree re: Carnival. "The Mystery of Love"!!! And that tribute to Duke!!!

Thanks Larry. I'll check 'em out!

Thought of mentioning Ronnie Mathews as well! Cowell I'd have assumed to be well-known enough, but that may be just me ... as for the pantheon, yep, full agreement there - and one name to add: Don Friedman king ubu (and others), I only own one Friedman record. I guess I should investigate his music more thoroughly. Which of his recordings are your favorites?

Richie Beirach!!! - In my opinion, he's one of the unacknowledged jazz giants of his (or any) generation. Joanne Brackeen - Another monstrously talented pianist who's under-appreciated, I think. Ronnie Mathews Mike Wofford Joe Bonner Alan Broadbent I'd also second the nomination for Stanley Cowell. Some other pianists who are (perhaps a bit) more well-known but deserve greater accolades. These guys belong in the PANTHEON. Or at least they're in mine! Sir Roland Hanna Martial Solal Jimmy Rowles Steve Kuhn Hampton Hawes

I recently bought a copy of its sibling 3 Phasis from an amazon third party seller and was shipped a CD-R. New World Records has started using these CD-Rs for back catalogue titles without informing their clientel what is and isn't on CD-R. The copy of Cecil Taylor Unit I bought was a real CD. I got a full refund for 3 Phasis and bought a near mint second hand copy on Discogs instead. Oh, that's a bummer! But I'm glad that you ended up with a real CD in the end. It seems underhanded of New World to use CD-Rs instead of CDs without clearly labeling them as such. Not cool.

Same here. Will there be anything on offer music-wise?

I wasn't aware that this even existed. I'll check it out.

Al Cohn's America (Xanadu, 1977) Snagged this LP at Euclid Records in NOLA this weekend. Sounds great!

Picked up these today: - Al Cohn's America (Xanadu LP) - Richard Davis - As One (Muse LP) - Shelly Manne Quartet featuring Lee Konitz - French Concert (Galaxy LP) - Cecil Taylor Unit (New World CD) - Jaki Byard - Sunshine of My Soul: Live at the Keystone Korner (HighNote CD) I downloaded this from emusic a couple years ago, but I decided to upgrade to a CD since the music is so stinkin' magnificent. Ives is the man! Woo-hoo!

I agree 100%!!! It's my all-time favorite Mosaic.

xybert, there's no fingerprint on my disc 2. You might want to write to Mosaic about it. I've only had one issue with a Mosaic disc, and they sent me a replacement in a snap.

Now this: Joanne Brackeen with Eddie Gomez - Prism (Choice, rec. 1978)

Stanley Cowell Trio - Illusion Suite (ECM, rec. 1972) with Stanley Clarke (b) and Jimmy Hopps (d)

Sorry to hear that Greenfield has passed -- but what a lovely way of thinking about the "critic's" job! I admire that very much.

Thanks for the heads-up on this Ronnie Scott's archival stuff, Marcello. I didn't know that this music had been released. Definitely something that I'm going to check out.

As a Hawks fan, I'm sorry to see DeMarre Carroll go. That said, I'm glad that the Hawks were able to re-sign Paul Millsap. And adding Tiago Splitter was a nice move. I think the Hawks will be in the mix again next year. But I don't think we've acquired the players to get to "the next level." I guess we'll see...

Tons of great stuff in there, ST!

After listening to Green Shading Into Blue today (via YouTube), I decided to order this: I'm sorta stoked, looking forward to hearing all of it.

GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of Woody's very best, imho.

I've also enjoyed this one: Our Kind of Sabi - with John Surman & Daniel Humair

Sad news. RIP

I've got a few days of vacation later this week, and I'm hoping to get some riding in. I might make a run up to the north Georgia mountains. My bike is a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R. It's loads of fun to ride. Sadly, I've barely touched it this year. Life's just been busy, and I've been focused on other things. Here's a pic from a ride that my wife and I took a few years ago:

agreed .... I'd never heard Free Spirits before. Just listening to "Ode to Saint Cecile" on YT now. Wow! What a TIGHT trio! This record goes right to the top of my "to get" list. Thanks for the heads-up!!!

A bunch of JH's Milestones are excellent. My favorite from that era is Canyon Lady. To that end, if the Milestone box is still available cheaply, that's money (less) money well-spent. Yep. I got that box CHEAP. And it's chock-full of fantastic music.
