Oh yeah. Warren Smith is so good.

Noted

Well, if track 7 isn't Jim Hall then I'm guessing Barney Kessel. Probably incorrect too but I can't think of anyone else at the moment that might match.

For whatever reason this is my first listen to this album and it's phenomenal. Definitely leaves a "what could've been" thought in my mind. It doesn't look this has ever been reissued with alternate tracks, and so I wonder if those possibly exist? If so, would be great to see those released at some point.

Track 7: Is that a Jim Hall live date? Great tune.

I was listening to a new DJ Spinna radio show of "London Jazz-funk" Some of the tracks: London Town - Light of the World Escapee - Daniel Casimir Rude Movements - Sun Palace Movin' On - Outside Sphynx - Brand New Heavies Walk in the Night - Paul Hardcastle You Gotta Get It - Congress Night Birds - Shakatak summer grooves - Mirage Mr moon - Jamiroquai Parisienne Girl - Incognito Can't Keep Holding On - Second Image Then moved on to:

Per the CDC, community transmission rates are still substantial to high across the majority of US population centers. Likely will be more variants, with long-term effects still largely unknown. Hopefully advancements are made in treating and understanding this disease so that future cases years & decades down the road don't lead to more unnecessary deaths.

Sign me up for long-form, live Mingus. I love that live in Bremen set, big time. Looks like I need to pick up both the Jazz in Detroit/Strata & Ronnie Scott's.

1 - Love the tempo and energy. Total concentration from that bass player. Super clean production. Pretty sure I've heard this one before but can't name it. 2 - Nice trio, live recording. Haynes on drums? Sounds like a standard but I can't tell which. 3 - This reminds me of a Freddie Hubbard CTI date. Pretty sure this is a standard too. 4 - Take the A Train... Will have to come back for the rest later...

Thanks for putting this together. It's a reference point for me now, with the recorded firsts - very interesting! I think this is the 2nd BFT that I've participated in where there was an early Cecil Taylor song included and I really liked both of them. Clearly I enjoy his early recordings...

I'm in an early-ECM mood. These two are great for scratching that itch.

Felt the same way after listening to it. It's about as close to rock as I come these days. The groove they got into was great.

Mal Waldron with Fred Braceful, Eberhard Weber and Jimmy Jackson, The Call from '71. Not sure why I never listened to this before as it's phenomenal. Two songs, each stretching over the side of an LP and these guys really dig in. Late to the party on this one, but glad I made it.

Indeed. Rooster Ties’ collection of obscure 70s jazz by no names sounds like it could make a helluva comp.

Well I'm stumped on guessing a theme.

Milford Graves Memorial Fund link. I hadn't seen it before, so sharing in case others haven't either. Unlocked Festival sounds fantastic.

Streaming has changed my music listening and collecting habits immensely. I've got a lot of physical media that I'm going through to purge at this point. If the rights are ultimately owned by a major, then chances are it'll be on a streaming platform in perpetuity (unless that major is Sony who for some reason can be weird), so there's no real reason to hold onto el cheapo CD versions.

When we were helping care for my MIL while she was battling some very aggressive cancer up to October of last year, there was a lot of time spent at the hospital. They would not allow any cloth masks by themselves. Everyone had to wear surgical masks as baseline. There's a reason(s) the medical community held to that standard and continue to do so, and I don't think it's anything nefarious. It's because proper masking works.

Azymuth's Telecommunication Last Summer in Rio is super smooth, but not cheesy. My favorite track on this album.

Well done

I'm a pig on a truffle hunt. Well, that's one of my mottos anyway.

Thanks for the review

Will be interesting if he does allow his "harshest critics" to remain, along with threads such as:

Kyoto Jazz Massive actually popped up in the continued play algorithm once that Of All the Things record played through and I dug that sound too. United Future Org will be checked out as well. Thanks for the lead! This started popping up over the weekend and I didn't know it had previously unreleased tracks. Adding to the queue.

Well that sucks. Noted. Enjoying these enough to keep digging.
