All three have already been mentioned, but my favorites are: - Steve Lacy - Reflections - Griff & Lockjaw - Lookin' at Monk - Sphere - Four in One Another excellent one: Arthur Blythe - Light Blue EDIT: Just remembered another one -- Fred Hersch's Monk tribute is darn good too.

Frank Luther also played on another one of Friedman's Progressive LPs called Jazz Dancing. Back in the day, it was only released in Japan. Now it's available as a download. EDIT: Turns out that Frank Luther was on this Friedman LP too (also Japan only):

I second the motion for the Curtis Fuller. Hooray for Bluesette! And I just realized that I forgot Erroll Garner. A grievous oversight! Garner's Savoy sides are superb!!!

The Hot Lips Page sides are especially good. Tom, do you spin vinyl? If so, these would be relatively easy to find. On CD, they're going to be much more difficult to locate -- and much more expensive.

Peter, did you see her posts above?

Ordered a few LPs from Dusty Groove tonight: - Bobby Watson - All Because of You (Roulette) - Lee Konitz Meets Warne Marsh Again (PAUSA) - Walter Norris - Stepping on Cracks (Progressive)

Well, I just ordered All Because of You from Dusty Groove. After the LP arrives and I have a chance to give it a few spins, I'll report back.

So far, I've only listened to Antonioli's new record with Richie Beirach a few times -- but I've really enjoyed it. I'm much more familiar with their earlier record, The Duo Session (Nabel), from 2004. Beautiful music.

For emusic members: Warne Marsh & Lee Konitz - Two Not One (Storyville) $5.84 http://www.emusic.com/album/-/-/11717829/ The set collects five complete Storyville releases: - Warne Marsh & Lee Konitz - Live the at the Montmartre Club: Jazz Exchange, Vols. 1, 2 and 3 - Warne Marsh Quartet - The Unissued Copenhagen Studio Session - Warne Marsh Trio - The Unissued Copenhagen Studio Session

Thought I'd bump this twelve-year-old thread because I've been wondering about one of Bobby Watson's early recordings on Roulette. Is anyone familiar with All Because of You (1978)? I really enjoy Bobby work with Blakey from around this time, so I was looking for some input as to whether I should investigate this LP too.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, crisp. I just ordered Michael Garrick's Mr. Smith's Apocalypse.

Yes indeed. Superb music from an overlooked Ducal period.

KD to Golden State?!?!?! Jeez, talk about the rich getting richer. ALL of the other free agent moves this off-season are -- as of this moment -- completely IRRELEVANT. I understand why KD did it. I understand that he wants a championship. But I still think it's a WEAK move. KD is supposed to be THE MAN! Does he really want to win it on the coattails of the team that just came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat him?!?!? Apparently, he does... Me too. That said, there was no way that the Hawks were going to be able to compete with the Cavs in the East -- regardless of which FAs they signed. Now, NO ONE is going to get by the Warriors -- including the Cavaliers.

LOL So true.

Milestones, just like you, I overlooked the Columbia recs for a long time. Now, I think they're WONDERFUL -- especially the LPs "Monk's Dream" and "Criss Cross." At some point several years ago, I went on Charlie Rouse bender. So I listened to the Columbia Monk recs with Rouse very carefully and came away loving them. Don't sleep on the Black Lions either. They're great too.

I have a duplicate CD of the MJQ's Lonely Woman. It's the "Atlantic Jazzlore" reissue with the cover that looks like this: PM me if interested. EDIT: No longer available.

Ugh. R.I.P.

I've gotten so much enjoyment from that set. I love those Bruckner & Brahms recordings. But I L-O-V-E Jochum's Beethoven! The LvB9 in that set is incredible.

Antonín Dvořák: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9 "From the New World" / John Barbirolli, Hallé Orchestra (EMI Phoenixa) Barbirolli brings something special to these warhorses. The dark, Wagnerian brass chorale that immediately precedes the "Goin' Home" section made my hair stand on end.

You're right!!!

Such beautiful music! Quintessential Brahms. I love that particular recording too.

Dayum! I'm jealous.

Well at least they picked a good record!
