I wonder why Mosaic issued two overlapping Mary Lou Williams sets? Nonetheless, I'm buying both of them.

Yes, audio only.

I remember reading, I think in Downbeat, that Mingus was appearing at the Festival in 1977; I sure wanted to go to hear MIngus but in college lacked the means/cash to get there. I wish I had tried harder.

At Smoke: FRIDAY APRIL 16 - SATURDAY APRIL 17 / LIVE STREAMED / 8PM EST Buy Streaming Pass Steve Davis (trombone) Steve Nelson (vibraphone) David Hazeltine (piano) Joe Farnsworth (drums, Friday) Willie Jones III (drums, Saturday) “Steve Davis is the Poet Laureate of the trombone." – Chick Corea Steve Davis celebrates his April 14th birthday with two nights of livestreamed concerts. He is leading a stirring quintet featuring vibraphonist Steve Nelson, pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Gerald Cannon and drummer Joe Farnsworth on Friday and Willie Jones III on Saturday. JazzTimes reports, “(Steve) has established himself as one of the most accomplished and lyrical improvisers on his instrument as well as a prolific composer. Downbeat adds, “Davis thoughtfully balances modernism, lyricism and drive—as a writer and a player.” These performances reunite Davis with Nelson who appeared on two of the trombonist’s celebrated recordings, Portrait in Sound and Vibe Up!.

Now that is the truth!

I ordered the LP from amazon (US). The CD was not in stock when I ordered but does show up as in stock now (though with a suspiciously delayed delivery date). There are 8 tracks. Two are solo kora. Of the collaborations, the ones with Sona Jobarteh and Vincent Segal/Patrick Messina are excellent. I don't know who Camille is, but I liked that track and the one with Salif Keita. The track with Oxmo Puccino I did not care for. The track with Piers Faccini was okay. This opinion is based on listening to the LP twice in a row last night.
