I only just noticed the filled letters - and I have seen this often - there is so much visually I miss. For me - new covers for the 70's usually work well. Off now to listen to Love Drops from Mothership

Kicked me out of a desert of music to get Pax back on - Calliope here we come!

What a lovely resource - not all my cup of tea but this little gem looked interesting: https://www.otrcat.com/p/jazz-club-usa

Wow - this would be lovely to see when the resources and audio can work in tandem

Great recording - listened to it last night - however please note I have a faulty last 2 tracks which skip and seem poorly printed to CD - not the live recording. I note others have had similar issues - so be warned. However the other tracks were beeeeautiful to listen to so still worth it. Lets see if my replacement is any better.

This is helpful intel - so I am diving in and ordering this and the Freddie Hubbard set AND to cap it The Three Sounds live recordings as well -- and finally got the Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner  live set I figured I rarely see live music and never saw these guys at the time (pre birth ) so will treat myself over the next 3-5 months

I quite like Lonnie Smiths The Awakening from Afrodesia - not too many good tracks on there but this was one and a few less rinky dinky Groove Holmes tracks were worth hunting out like this and also paired him off with Jimmy McGriff - this was recorded live Boston More info on the label here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Merchant and loads of resources here http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Groove_Merchant.htm I am now off disappearing down a 1970s organ fest rabbit hole as it reminded me to go find Reuben Wilson Sweet Life Yes!

TV networks have been churning out worse with less plot changes - this even if it runs to ground with a note to say the recording was awful - would at least close the file.

Cue very dramatic music ! The plot thickens......

Oh wow - where to start - such a back catalogue and introduced me also to so many other artists. What a character and what a legacy. My fav 3 right now: (as is firing them up on the system -will change by next week!) Alligator Boogaloo Callin All Cats and that recording of John Pattons Funky Mama I was lucky enough to have a whole set of videos of him playing along with Lonnie Smith which although not live in person were a pretty close second. Many of them are thankfully on YouTube...talking of which - I have just found this -

Wow - that is a very nice find.

No need to apologise This stuff needs time and effort Listening now to Woody Shaw after a whole heap of Bobby Hutcherson - lovely Website a little noisy with graphics but loving it so far Jazz on Class

Do tell more? Is this one of the "live" tapes we had access to or something new? I knew this was a keeper But none of my work = Javier Gonzales - wonder if this sprung up the sorts of leads thesis can ie "well did you ever speak to ...." Hope so For Javier's sake Such a rich piece of work - turning what we say here as "well I heard" into cited quotes etc

Did you want access to the thesis? - I remember putting that here for wider reading: https://andybleaden.blogspot.com/2007/07/thesis-on-john-patton-by-javier.html I also put it onto a pdf - not sure now why - probably so I could print it back then: John Patton Thesis by Javier Gonzales

The Steppin out lp I remember seeing quite a bit in UK Secondhand record shops - remember hearing it and was nearly tempted and also Boss Tres Bien and quite liked the title track - in fact - now I have just also found a version on youtube and that floats my Sunday morning stuck in because it is raining boat!
