Rush - Hold Your Fire (Mercury, 1987)

Yep. I fully agree.

Rush - A Show of Hands (Mercury/Anthem) Live recordings from the Power Windows (1986) and Hold Your Fire (1988) tours.

Next up: Freddie Hubbard - Skagly (Columbia, 1980)

Shocked & saddened to hear this news. R.I.P. He loved the music.

Japanese pressing Yes. "Baffling" for sure. I was hoping Elemental would include it in their Xanadu reissue series from a few years ago. But no luck. They chose Cuber Libre instead.

Another one from James Moody: Comin' on Strong (Argo/Cadet, 1964)

Just looking back thru this thread, I was immediately struck by Mike's comments about Mwandishi and Crossings from ten years ago. I couldn't agree more! They're MIND-BLOWERS.

So true. He was a giant.

Inspired casting . . . and inspired music! ❤️ Odyssey of Iska would likely be my desert-island choice for Wayne Shorter. Now listening to some James Moody, prompted by @Rabshakeh (on another thread): James Moody - Great Day (Argo, 1963) An excellent collaboration with Tom McIntosh. Sorta like their version of Miles & Gil Evans -- but a bit smaller in scale.

Get 'em both, Kevin. You won't regret it.

Now spinning: John Stowell - Golden Delicious (Inner City, 1977) with: Trumpet – Claudio Roditi Piano – Jim McNeely Bass – Mike Richmond, David Friesen (A2 only) Drums – Billy Hart Percussion – Dom Um Romão I really like this LP. It's Stowell's debut.

Hooray for James Moody !!!

NP: CD compiles two Prestige LPs recorded in 1961: Up Tight! and Boss Soul! I've never heard that one before. I'll have to give it a listen.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Yes, that's a good one!

🙂👍

More Richard Thompson:

NP: Richard Thompson - You? Me? Us? (Capitol, 1996) Disc 1 - "Voltage Enhanced" Never heard this before. But, yes, it's timely. (And not just in the U.K.)

Peter Bernstein - Earth Tones (Criss Cross, 1997) with Larry Goldings & Bill Stewart I always enjoy hearing these three guys play together.

Now spinning: Arman Ratip - The Spy from Istanbul (Regal Zonophone UK, 1973) Mad About Records (Portugal) reissue
