Leftovers. Exactly.

Tried Washington's The Epic. Didn't hit for me this time around. A bit tepid. Noticed the Arkestra had a release last year, so tried it: Living Sky from 2022. Better, but not liking it as much as Swirling from a few years ago.

When requested they send you a csv file. You can then transfer that to your spreadsheet software of choice (I use Excel) and then edit away. That sounds like a combo of BRIAN and a discogs csv honestly. But I'm not sure minimal amount of effort on the user is guaranteed. I only use discogs for cataloging my collection. I've had to enter some editions of CDs, edit some releases etc. As you noted, it's tedious but I'm not sure one can escape tedium when faced with a project like this.

That description from John L. seems to fit discogs or am I missing something?

I've always enjoyed Standards. That and the other trio session on Blue Note seem better than the Time label trio date by a hair.

Zodiac had that Pure Pleasure reissue that may have increased its exposure. Dorham was a sideman on Clifford Jordan's Mosaic LP on Milestone that may qualify as obscure these days. Likewise his tracks on Cedar! which was released on Prestige. Since it combines trio, quartet and quintet combos it may be a less well known Dorham date.

Great info. Thanks!

Progressing through this 4 disc set. Recording is a bit rough but the quality of the music played overcomes that easily.

That live at Cafe Bohemia CD with both sets is probably my favorite BN date and maybe of all the KD I have. Studio wise I like Matador. His great sideman dates are plentiful. On the other hand, I don't have much Ernie Henry. Sideman on Monk's Brilliant Corners and on that BN Moody Modernists album. Only 12 songs in total between those two.

Killer selections Bootsy's albums are fantastic. Always put me in a good mood.

I'm interested but what's the ratio of instrumental excursions to vocal/choir singing? Forgive me, but jazz choirs just aren't my thing. Asking bc some of the BFTs have had some Pan Afrikan Arkestra tracks that included choirs and well, it was all good until...

Yes, that's what I take from that blurb.

Not to put words in that poster's mouth, but the Elemental site hypes, in all caps, that this music has never been released. Well, technically some of it has, just not officially.

Weird. Pretty sure I bought an Outernational LP directly from Matthew a few years ago.

Nice! Is it a solo set or with a band?

AT's Soundburger FTW

Very interesting list. I don't have any of these either so am interested in any insight.

Perfect album this morning.

Indeed. Of the Monk I have it's my least favorite. Almost ephemera for completists would be how I'd categorize it.

Great write up. Enjoyed reading it. And thanks for the sleuthing on this one. I don't have any Wadada but have streamed and enjoyed several of his albums. This one escaped me somehow but it's a must listen at this point.

For a comp of that Philly sound, this one's pretty good too: Less well known tracks of course, but it's good.

Stephen Colbert's house band led by Louis Cato played Footprints last night as they went to the break after the monolog. They might have played more Shorter compositions later on...? I've never heard a bad record from Wayne. I recently listened to All Seeing Eye for the first time and loved it. He was an artist that brought quality to everything he did. Hard to really miss in that situation.

The dramatic flourishes got ahold of me. What can I say?
