Actually Bill Perkins . I was spelled incorrectly on this Japanese release.

The spelling gremlins got him twice on that cover!

And Monty Budwig didn't escape:

That Walter Davis Jr. album is very good. And it takes a lot for a Monk tribute to move the needle.

He shouldn't supplant the other stride names mentioned, but Don Ewell's playing always gives me pleasure. Although I more often listen to him in a small group setting:

 

 

[Don Byas Mosaic set available for pre-order]

This is a Mosaic website question that's probably been answered elsewhere, but...

I just preordered. I did not check the "Create Account" box. 

The order seems to have gone through, I got an acknowledgement e-mail and the credit card info seems to have been processed (in fact, it triggered a phone call from the fraud dept. of my card company. 🤔)

But the Mosaic site gave the diagnostic below. Seems to be a site bug, as the billing address had already been entered and the page viewed has no check box.

Has anyone else encountered this oddity? I've always considered the Mosaic website shaky (not to mention the contracted shipping company).

[Japanese Jazz Revisited]

I just ordered it. Had some cdjapan coupons and combined it with a bunch of other items. 

It's on Youtube:

Oh my... 

Whoa. Any details? Needless to say, I'm eager to hear it. 🤩

For what it's worth, I've listened to quite a few of the "Live at Maybeck" solo series and Gene Harris is my favorite, followed by Stanley Cowell.

I enjoy the Don Pullen (Healing Force, Evidence of Things Unseen) and Andrew Hill (Faces of Hope, Verona Rag) titles on Black Saint / Soul Note.

I defer to experts on Mal Waldron, but he deserves attention.

That's always a bummer.   . . . I hope you come across a copy soon!   

 

Yeah, the lineup on that (K. Mine First) is most interesting! Probably have to wait for another Japanese reissue.

I have trouble with numerical rankings, but these would probably be in the top 5:

If one side of an LP counts (the other side is a quintet),

This isn't an adventurous choice, but is right near the top:

Need more thinking time for others.

Now playing:

Kohsuke Mine - First (Philips Japan/BBE, 1970)
with Masabumi Kikuchi, Larry Ridley, and Lenny McBrowne

 

I have two other Mine 1970 releases, Mine and 2nd Album, but haven't been able to find First on CD at reasonable price.

I'm in eventually.  Hope someone besides bandcamp carries it.

On the BBE label, so I think Dusty Groove is likely to get some copies. I'll preorder if/when it shows up on their "Coming Soon" page. Waiting for "in stock" notification risks missing out.

+1

Both with Braxton, G Hemingway, M Dresser, M Crispell

[Carla Bley (1936-2023)]

Thanks.

Great interview I hadn't seen.

[The Revealing Science of BFT 235]

Thanks. Really enjoyed this one musically, though only a couple of selections were familiar.

Was fascinated by #9 but had no clue, understandably considering I don't have any of her recordings!

Many other things to look into.

Don't get the lead pun at all, but having read a lot about the "Manhattan Project" the number 235 (as in U-235) has significance.

[Jazz in Paradiso (Sun Ra and more to come)]

Excellent news! I see it on the NJA website, but am waiting for US distribution. Probably DG will get some copies.

[Romano Mussolini, Jazz Pianist]

I looked up some Youtube selections and was surprised that most seemed to feature him playing Fender Rhodes.
