That's Savoy stuff, right? Not sure about the release itself (or the increasing of the probability of rapture LOL), but the music is superb. Always has been, always will be.

Thank you for including Matana Roberts!

I hear you on all of that!

The Alonzo Levister record is not Tristanoish, but it is pretty interesting pre-Third Stream and has members of Mingus' circle playing.

Bobette Barker - Holly Got A Haircut!!!

Without a sense of historical perspective, it might fairly be considered underwhelming, but it does have its moments. And it is a fun (enough) listen.

My LP came from a Half Price Books about 20 years ago. My CD was a gift not too long ago. The record itself...apparently by this time, Savoy's jazz releases were outside productions. This Moffett was self-produced. Cody was just a kid. Too bad that him and Denardo didn't make a duet record.

I wish there would have been a box with the entire label's output. It entailed a very interesting confluence of musics. Obviously some was of more immediate/lasting impact/importance than others, but among other things it shows the penetration of the Tristano ethos there was outside of what The Narrative tells us today.

Thanks! I think I'll not regret not making the same decision!!!

How does this compare to the Mingus Debut box?

Is that because of Dewey's or Jarrett's higher level there? Or both? or something else? I agree that it's an above -average date!

Al Green, Laura Lee, and Millie Jackson are still alive.

Directly is a long away.

Rights reverted to Sullivan, who the yot it out on Inner City.

Yes and yes! A less involved group of players might suffer groove fatigue by the time it's over, but these folks are locked in all the way!

? OTOH, in 2025, what is "real" bebop anyway ?

Whatever happened to Dennis O'Too(t)le?

What about that Tardo Hammer guy?

I read. Conversely, why are you so sure he wasn't? Because you don't like him?

No, he was popular in Harlem. Lots of things were. It was a world that only sometimes was exposed to the rest of the world

Yes.

So Harlem was wrong?
