Holy Ghost

Doors, my father-in-law loves them...and so do I!

Yup.

I have the 3 cd set and with no equivocation, after reading this thread, I'm buying this set. Convinced, done deal.

Keep this thread alive, this is incredible footage!!!

Yeah, that. No Room For Squares was it, then from that, I really like the "mature" Mobley circ, 63-70. Caddy For Daddy, Reach Out! I really dig those records. Hank can write!!

Soul Station, Roll Call, Straight No Filter...Wayne Shorter and Hank do have a lot in common: great composers and players, albeit their own styles and education. Love every single record Hank cut for BN (leader and sideman) and plus. Great composer, unique sound and style. One of my top five favorites. I like the way you put that... If I was to take one album to my albums of Hank Mobley albums to my Hank Mobley album island, it'd be Third Season.

What a great recount!

And the albums left in the can: Slice, Third Season, Poppin', Curtain Call, Thinking of Home...very good, if not very very good. No waste to be had there.

I have this but it's in storage, but I really like Roach's stay at Atlantic, great records!

biouth= To support my local record store (Record Den!) Don Ellis Orchestra LP with that crazy fraction on PJ and Joe Zawinul, The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream with Money in the Pocket as a bonus LP (Rhino). Bought my daughter the latest Def Tones record. Don Ellis: Pieces of Eight Live at UCLA Roland Kirk: Original Album Series (Atlantic)

Amen

Excellent way to fill in the Atlantic gap; I ordered this set immediately! Besides Inflated Tear, I hardly see these titles available readily and cheaply. https://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-RAHSAAN-ROLAND-KIRK/dp/B011Q9HH68/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1T368288UHVTA&keywords=roland+kirk&qid=1652535653&sprefix=roland+kirk%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-3 It's a link I know, but it is just to the Amazon website. Take it down if need be.

My topic is this: Why and how Atlantic acquired Mingus (again) and Roland Kirk and stuck with him for a very good run of records through the 70's, while Clive Davis was cleaning house, sans Miles of course who was still making booko bucks for Columbia. And for Atlantic, that means both Mingus and Kirk, who were still big names, then there's Lateef and Harris....did Atlantic have a change of heart? Maybe Zep was their cash cow (alas Jones at BN) to continue to promote jazz?

I know I'm not exactly in the right post but I want to talk about Columbia and Atlantic records in the 70's. I'll just start a new topic if that's the case.

I (tried) to listen to what Cecil was saying, I can't follow wtf that dude was saying at all. Just to hear him speak, he's a genius (clearly knows what he's talking about).

Don't know if anyone mentioned Don Ellis's How Time Passes (Byard!) and Out of Nowhere: Bley, Swallow!

This is really cool! Cool to hear Frank Lowe talk!

This is cool! Cool to hear Cecil talking too.

Great record. Now playing: Bill Evans Interplay. Perhaps the most exuberant playing I've ever heard Bill play. Like the play on words, right?

Feel exactly the same.

Truly one of the greatest drummers of all time, and the fact he's still recording is worth hearing alone. Will buy.

I like the packaging and the restored cover for "Something Else."

Talking about dreaming, Ornette's outfit were all at BN basically at the same time, time-wise. Cherry sided with Blackmore and Ornette with Haden. They could've possibly started a new "Atlantic" franchise at BN. Was it that they were not all getting along at the time or Ornette wanted to do something different (although in my opinion, he just didn't record with a brass horn but with tenor instead). The live Impulse! and Science Fiction say otherwise later.... Right on, I have them all too, and even enjoy the Empty Foxhole.

No. Seems like a lot of wife-swapping to me.
