Look at who was on the first Mtume (the group) album It's like a merge of the Miles & Gary Bartz bands. A kind of "missing link" to both ends of this is the Reggie Lucas Survival Themes album. Recommended listening, perhaps. And, of course, Norman Connors.

Pretty Ballerina Ugly Kid Joe Virginia Plain

Paul Desmond - That's the way the world ends, not with a whim, but a banker.

Two things: Jazz needs more show bands. What is Ann Arbor like these days?

Ed Flesh - Stocker and Bagger

And not only is it free harmonically, but rhythmically as well...I tried do get a better grip on the changes by counting four, thinking something would fall easily into place. Nope. These lines are, as they say, polymeric. Pretty extremely so. Amazing, indeed!

Horo had some stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horo_Records HZ 03: George Adams / Don Pullen Quintet – Suite for Swingers hll 101-21 Don Pullen quartet - Jazz a Confronto 21 hll 101-22 George Adams / Pullen / Richmond, etc. quartet hll 101-25 Dannie Richmond / Adams / Pullen, etc. group

That I do not know. But Seeburg was a big jukebox company, so I would guess that it was a competitor.

Something like this: available from many outlets, I like Bags Unlimited myself: https://www.bagsunlimited.com/category/1400/lp-brecord-jacketb-sleeves-clear

If that's what you're doing, I'd at least protect them in some LP-size bags.

yeah, wow, following Lennie is pretty much useless if you want a readily apparent lead on what the underlying tune is, LOL! But repeated listening to Sonny Dallas (who's not exactly playing it straight....) has me ultimately hearing "It's You Or No One". But it ain't exactly "crystal clear", right? This is some REALLY free playing harmonically.

glad that all is now well for all concerned!

Are we doing it wrong?

Yeah, I learned about them years after having heard them in department stores for the better part of my childhood/early adolescence. Very unmistakeable instrumentation and low-fi sound that got wobblier and wobblier as the years wore on and the machines weren't maintained.

I just keep them in the box.

Thanks for that. Interesting to see another tenor player going for the tilted horn look, couldn't have been that many people adopting it, could there have been?

The new material is definitely value added, more things from the Choreographers Workshop period, lots of percussion-based stuff, which always turns out well with this group. They started getting into that in the later Chicago days and continued to develop it after the move to NYC.

If they're digital files, you can almost bet your life (but maybe not in 2022, not the way it's going so far...) that there will be some kind of file sharing site that has them. From there it becomes a matter of trust. Let me ask some friends who have friends etc. I'd like to hear them myself!

Consistently fine player, RIP, and stop it 2022, goddamit, or at least back off for a little while.

Like Larry, I'm not a huge Pass fan, but his PJ work is where I go, and this is among his best, imo.

Julia and...who else is this? They look road-tested!

Not often, but here's one, and it's pretty good too.

I have never like Jazz Times, not from Day One. I know they've hung in there, but....too glossy, in both appearance and content, for my taste. I used to enjoy the Cadence Critics Polls, talk about a diverse lot!!! As for today's polls, I wonder how much industry lobbying is going on. With the more or less infinitesimally small market share that's at stake, I could see that going either way, maybe even by the musicians themselves, or their publicists. Desperate times call for desperate measures, lol.

OmniTone was(?) an interesting label.
