T.D.

Agreed. Price is attractive (perhaps an error, in which case I'd love to stick it to Walmart ), I kinda like Mayall, but this set is overkill for me.

Thanks, enjoyed listening, all good and no clinkers. Don't have much in the way of ID or substance to add to the discussion (apart from Jaws in 6 and I should know the players in 8 - Art Farmer comes to mind), so will stay away from the thread for a while to avoid spoilers. Will be listening more and researching.

Thanks, excellent BFT. Definitely a wide range of material!

Don't own enough non-Tapscott Nimbus West releases, so Plus

Have been listening on bandcamp: this is excellent, I'm about to purchase it despite short playing time.

WTF is that obvious troll allowed to repeatedly post horseshit moronic links? Not that anyone with a scintilla of intelligence would click on such drivel. Not exactly an advertisement for the forum.

That's a very good album and the only Hall/Oates recording I own. I think Stevie Wonder's Innervisions was a killer 1973 release. I'm not a huge fan of Stevie, but that album is really something.

I recently picked up the Henry Lowther Never Never Land twofer from Jazz in Britain, and it's really good. Re. Hartley, I've bought one other reissue box set on Esoteric, the exceptional Torrid Zone (Nucleus 1970-75 recordings). I'd purchase this Hartley box if there were more instrumental tracks, but from what I've sampled on Youtube there may be too many vocals for my taste.

+1

I dunno, but when I was in middle school I really liked the abbreviated version of this tune, which was a 45 (this longer version is also good IMO and got airplay on AOR stations) : But I disliked everything else I heard from GFR, and never listened to any full album.

Sounds like something I'd enjoy given the personnel. Funny memory...back in the day Hartley's album Overdog was heavily advertised in local (Chicago) radio commercials. But it was just a name, no sound clips; the band received zero airplay, so I knew nothing of the music and thus never rolled the dice on the LP.

Digging around in the most recent issue http://www.cadencejazzmagazine.com/membersonly/admin/assets/OctEdition2022Cadence.pdf after many pages of advertising I found a masthead: October November December 2022 Vol. 48 No. 4 (448) Cadence ISSN01626973 is published by Cadence Media LLC, P.O.

Very much agreed.

Looks reasonably interesting, but I'd need to see a masthead. Say what you want, but after various disclosures I don't want to put money in Bob Rusch's pocket. I clicked on "Contact us" and Portland, OR came up as an address, which is promising in that regard. But show me a masthead. Don't see any equivalent on the site, which is peculiar.

Jim, (only) with those generous hints could I do some sleuthing. Otherwise would have had no hope. Tinyurl to avoid spoilers...perhaps track 1 of https://tinyurl.com/bdesyuvb

Whoa, sorry...didn't realize it's the same album! Senior moment.

Cecil Taylor pic here Doesn't seem to be an album cover and I suspect Photoshopping.

I'm downsizing and strongly dislike the bulky oversized Mosaic packaging. Don't want to add any more of those massive boxes, only consider Mosaics if the musical content is truly compelling. I prefer something like the Julius Hemphill box on New World: 7 CDs of well-curated music with a fine booklet (I don't require the big photos which render Mosaic books oversized), the entire package fitting into approximately one of the Mosaic fatboy inner boxes (!).

Michael Bisio resides in a NYC-style AIR loft building in Kingston, NY called The Lace Mill. They have been having (approximately) monthly concerts on Sunday afternoons. Only upcoming one scheduled is Tani Tabbal Trio sometime TBA in Nov, I suspect winter sched. will be lighter. It'll be announced on The Lace Mill Facebook page.

Matthew Shipp Quartet (w. Jason Hwang, violin/viola; Michael Bisio, bass; Jay Rosen, drums/perc)

That's showing at the 2 semi-local art house theaters. I was going to see it today, but went to a concert (Matthew Shipp 4tet) instead. Maybe this week.

I'm old enough (just turned 65) to remember people in wheelchairs because of polio, as well as families who had lost members. Would have been much worse if today's moronic standards prevailed in those days.

My only source has been that discogs link, so can't say.

They're all cool. The Brothers is probably my favorite, followed by

Can't go wrong with the Don Martin cover Prestiges.
