That Fred Jackson Blue Note album Hootin' N Tootin' is a personal favorite, esp the CD/SACD that combines it with 7 unreleased bonus tracks. He's a great player and hearing Earl Van Dyke in this setting is nice.

Hope an admin can help get it back.

Crazy you're able to delete an entire thread outside of being an admin

Yeah, seems right up Real Gone Music or Jazz Dispensary's alley.

Trying from your phone or laptop? For whatever reason I can't get an image address to work via phone while laptop works just fine. No idea why that is.

Ugh. Terrible ruling from the judge.

Keeping the Kamasi Washington listening going with Harmony of Difference, Space Travelers Lullaby and Heaven & Earth. All better than The Epic. He seems to adopt more of Pharoah Sanders' tone as these albums progress.

I think the way I phrased "band kids" was a bit off target. But I was mainly aiming at the use of "teenagers" who are mostly in high school and not college. I was getting at well funded music and arts programs across public schools in that era within the US. Middle and high schoolers exposed to that by either playing in bands, attending recitals, shows etc may have sparked interest or played a role in that revival. Those kids would then carry that interest forward as they aged for at least a few years. Fashion I know next to nothing about but non-baseball hats were definitely more popular back then and more accepted across a wide demographic in comparison to now. But this is all off the cuff guessing really. The real answer could be vastly different.

I'd guess that interest was regional and driven by band kids and whatever those communities they lived in promoted as cultural events.

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?
