Among many options, my ultimate dream group would be: Freddie Hubbard - trumpet Joe Henderson - tenor sax Bobby Hutcherson - vibes McCoy Tyner - piano Richard Davis - bass Elvin Jones - drums Lucky for me, these cats have all played with each other at some point in their career (although, sadly, not all together in the same place at the same time).

I'm digging the Silver big time. "It's Time" may just be one of my favorite Silver tunes on record. It's surprising (and a little disappointing) that people aren't as familiar with Horace's material after 1965 or so.

Any word on when the March batch is scheduled for release?

Looking for the 2fer Conn of "Medina/Spiral" by Bobby Hutcherson, any offers?

Have listened through a couple of times...I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing. I dig in particular his arrangement of "Round Midnight," as well as the first and fourth track (Billy Harper sounds GREAT on this one). It is, indeed, very loud, but I honestly don't mind that . Recording quality is great, the band sounds great, and I honestly like Charles' playing now more than his playing back in the 60s and 70s...it's got a somewhat more "finalized" quality whereas it still sounded like he was searching for his own sound back then.

The singer/lyricist on "Now" is Gene McDaniels. He also wrote "Compared to What" on the Les McCann/Eddie Harris "Swiss Movement" record.

Looking forward to this one, big time!

Of those three, "Keystone" is the odd man out. It's very heavily influenced by underground electronica and whatnot, which is either great or horrible depending on your musical preferences. "Strange Liberation" and "Meaning and Mystery" are similar to each other in style, including the same rhythm section (Uri Caine, James Genus, Clarence Penn) and two stylistically similar saxophonists (Chris Potter on "Liberation," Donny McCaslin on "Meaning"), so if you liked "Liberation" you'll like "Meaning."

This is a tough one. Here's 10, alphabetized: Chick Corea - Return to Forever Charlie Haden - The Ballad of the Fallen Dave Holland - Conference of the Birds Keith Jarrett - Whisper Not: Live in Paris 1999 Julian Priester - Love, Love Tomasz Stanko - Balladyna Tomasz Stanko - Soul of Things Kenny Wheeler - Gnu High Kenny Wheeler - Music for Large and Small Ensembles Close runner-ups are: Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert Dave Holland - Jumpin' In Tomasz Stanko - From The Green Hill

If anyone's willing to part with it (probably not very likely), let me know...

Let's hope you're right...

Didn't know he had one...heard he was having chop problems again.

In no particular order: Art Blakey - Free For All Horace Silver - The Cape Verdean Blues Andrew Hill - Point of Departure Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Hank Mobley - Soul Station Larry Young - Unity Bobby Hutcherson - Components Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy Joe Henderson - Inner Urge Runner ups include Out to Lunch (Dolphy), Whistle Stop (Dorham) and A Night at the Village Vanguard (Rollins).

Dizzy Gillespie Verve/Phillips Small Group Sessions (whole thing) This one's great for a Dizzy fanatic such as myself.

Looking for a (hopefully $25 or under) copy, would like to use this one for educational purposes as well...if anyone can send me any info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

clifford = love. 'nuff said.

Thanks all for the info!

Anyone know anything about this record? I've heard lots of buzz about it, but it isn't out here in the States and I've never found an import version.

Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Solid State Recordings - Disc 1 Also, pretty much anything on the Maynard and Elvin Jones boxes.

Picked up the Quebec and the Mobley from last month and the Silver and Morgan from this month, so far have 0 complaints. The Mobley and the Morgan are probably my 2 favorites, but I'm a sucker for anything with them on it.

If I had to pick 6, it'd go sumthin like this... 1) The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings - Gil Fuller 2) Silver 'n Brass/Silver 'n Wood - Horace Silver 3) Change - Andrew Hill 4) Contrasts - Larry Young 5) A New Conception - Sam Rivers 6) Natural Essence - Tyrone Washington Also would be nice to see Chant (Donald Byrd) and High Frequency (Jackie McLean), but those are the 6 I think probably have the best chance.

I also prefer the second album. However, this one is plenty good, too.

Umm...any particular reason?

"The Sidewinder", while definitely not my favorite Lee Morgan record, still has many moments worth repeated listenings. "Hocus Pocus" is a really catchy tune, in my opinion.
