I found it a bit disappointing on first listen. I need to listen more. The sound is excellent, as on all of Night Dreamer's records. If you don't have it, I would look for Knoel Scott Live in Alaska, which I bought from him at a posthumous Sun Ra Arkestra concert, as it is quite good.

Knoel Scott with Marshall Allen, Celestial (Night Dreamer) Sidney Bechet, Recorded in Concert at the Brussels Fair 1958 (Columbia)

Yes, unfortunately in Houston and no bullet train.

Allen Lowe, In The Dark (ESP-DISK)

LAKECIA BENJAMIN AND PHOENIX Friday, September 8 | 8:00 pm Miller Outdoor Theatre

Louis Hayes, Exactly Right (Savant)

LINEUP & PRESALE COMING Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 12, 9AM/ET

It was a tough choice between Tarbaby and Makaya McCraven, but I went with the latter. I've seen Orin Evans a few times; he seems like a solid player in the Philly piano tradition. The last time was in the Sean Jones Quartet.

Yes, I followed him; interesting fellow. I heard him live once with Ronald Shannon Jackson.

Fletcher Henderson Sextet 1950 (Alamac)

If you can find it.

The group was pretty great in person.

The Odyssey Trio plus Amin Ali on bass.

New release upcoming (unfortunately only digital and on LP (if they pre-sell enough copies): https://lafayettegilchrist-morphius.bandcamp.com/album/undaunted-fan-pre-release

He is very good live: I've seen him as a leader one time (for three sets at Smoke); with the Cookers twice; and as sideman a few times (Randy Weston and Malachi Thompson were highlights).
