As far as I can tell. The twofer reissue on Collectables as well.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-61415333 (with short video clip) A new composition for 50 years of the Rothko Chapel Tyshawn Sorey is a musician, performer, and composer who won a "MacArthur Genius" Fellowship in 2017 for his work. His style straddles the world of jazz, improvisation and classical music. He received a commission from Susan Rothenberg and DACAMERA of Houston to create a piece of music for the 50th Anniversary of the Rothko Chapel. The music that Sorey composed is a meditative work, a reflection of the non-denominational chapel and the 14 paintings on the octagonal walls by the artist, Mark Rothko. The chapel is located in Houston, Texas, and is a popular public art space. The BBC recently sat down with Sorey at the University of Pennsylvania - where he currently teaches - to discuss his latest composition, "Monochromatic Light (Afterlife)". This work will be staged at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City this autumn.

Absolutely. As they used to say (maybe still do?) on Usenet, Plonk.

I noticed that Zeitlin release on DG's "Coming Soon" page...Passed on purchase but will try to listen (at least partway through) online.

Not only that, but the feature "bossa nova" tune is misspelled, should be Tres Palabras! There are so many howling errors in jazz covers and booklets that this thread is like shooting fish in the proverbial barrel.

eBay? I see Japanese sellers offering them with free shipping. For instance, https://www.ebay.com/p/2255633232 [Added] Sleeves in the link don't seem to be resealable, presumably those are somewhere on eBay as well. Can't vouch for attractiveness of price.

Nice selection of tunes. Should have noticed Roland Hanna, but I don't have Perugia. Others got there first on Barry Harris. I thought of Julius Hemphill for #6 and did some research last night, but couldn't find any likely albums (incl. Raw Materials and Residuals) that include a trombonist.

I meant in the prior post that "(bebop) ghost" was likely used pejoratively by certain people "at the time" (in Jim's words). Not that Jim was using it in that way.

I think "bebop ghost" was likely meant pejoratively. For instance, in the liner notes (by Ira Gitler) to the "Live at the Five Spot" album an anonymous "foreign pianist" is quoted describing the group "contemptuously" as "ghosts".

There've been a heckuva lot of Mingus releases over the past few years.

Damn, back in the '80s I lived 2 blocks from the Brooklyn venue (Roulette). Needless to say, the neighborhood was different and Roulette didn't yet exist.

64, no underlying conditions, got 4th Pfizer shot (2nd booster) just under 2 weeks ago.

Definitely McPherson. I think Lonnie Hillyer has one trumpet part (looks like him around 18:45).

RIP, big loss, sad. I was for a long time a big hockey fan*, and played the sport up to age 40 @ rec league level. Lafleur was a true legend ("iconic" can be used without resort to cliche), and the 1970s-era Hab multi-Cup winners awesome. Sadly, we also recently lost Mike Bossy, perhaps the best pure goal-scorer I ever saw, who had to retire prematurely because of a back injury (truncating his career stat totals). Weird memory: Lafleur was one of the few players "grandfathered in" to play sans helmet after the LNH made helmets mandatory. I thought for a while he was the last helmetless player, but on second thought no...surely others (e.g. Al Secord? Doug Wilson? Craig MacTavish?) played longer. *The strike-cancelled 2004-5 season made me realize that I could live without following the LNH.

Just found out about this. Expect to go.

The initial post stipulated "...influential, landmark or special ensembles...", which might narrow the field somewhat.

The Teddy Charles Tentet is discussed at length in Cohen and Fitzgerald's Rat Race Blues: The Musical Life of Gigi Gryce. From pp. 191-194: The Teddy Charles Tentet was more than just a recording unit and the group played a landmark concert at New York's Cooper Union in the spring of 1956...Throughout 1956, the Tentet performed at various concerts including one on April 27 at a New York junior high school on 93rd Street where bass giant Charles Mingus was part of the ensemble...On Saturday afternoon, July 7, the Tentet made a high profile appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival along with the Phineas Newborn Quartet and Friedrich Gulda's ensemble. The concert was later broadcast on the Voice of America...Gryce and tubist Don Butterfield were the only holdovers from the January recording session...But despite critical acclaim for both its recordings and live performances, especially the Newport appearance, the band had little commercial potential. Charles rebuffed any attempts to broaden the ensemble's appeal and opportunities for appearances dried up. By 1957, the Tentet was history, only occasionally revived in the years to come.

Just noticed this is back at Dusty Groove. I listened to a couple of tunes on Youtube, thought they weren't that bad but am not going to pay $22.99 for a CD.

a) $19.99 b) no, afaict

Guy in a bar complaining to the bartender about his divorce. "Damn, my wife is taking me to the cleaners, her lawyer's really a f**g asshole". Bartender says "Yeah, I hear you...all lawyers are assholes". Drunk sleeping at the end of the bar wakes up, lifts his head off the bar and shouts "Hey, I resent that!" Bartender says "What are you, a lawyer or something?" Drunk says "No, I'm an asshole."

Leaning against it. Excellent project, credit to Mosaic Lotta material that attracts, but vocals appeal less and the sticker price is significant. Will preorder for the discount if I go for it, but that'll be a decision for late May.

Thanks, interesting story. The 6th paragraph may provide a clue about the guitar seller's identity. I'm thinking the dentist who had Ribbecke build it. Or his heirs...
