Disc 1

Sun Ra - Disco 3000. Just a quartet with Gilmore, Luqman Ali & Michael Ray.

Arkestra with reverb and some excellent bass clarinet from Gilmore.

I 100% agree. He's all over this recording.

Indeed. I put a whole lot more Andrew Hill on my wish list after this session. Incredible. And now, more Hutch:

Hill & Rivers together as side men.

After falling in love with the Andrew Hill BN albums I have, I needed more B3 and Turrentine so here we go.

Fatis Burrell's production style was so good.

Mort Garson's classic from '71. Fun to listen to on headphones.

More Hill with Henderson, Davis, Hubbard & Chambers

Back to Andrew Hill BNs, starting with:

Ah, I figured maybe he'd demonstrated a perspective like this before but I haven't read any of his book(s). The interviewer absolutely honed in on those comments.

Yeah, sure is. I know he's won several awards but does anyone know if he's ever performed on behalf of the State Dept or something similar?

Finishing off my JP listening session with this one from '64 Some real drone-y bass lines here from Patton which was cool to hear. The guy was incredible.

Let Em Roll. I guess you could say I'm a JP fan. Interesting setting for Hutch:

I dont know, the Braxton in my post was from a quote from another board member... Patton train rolling along this AM. Want to hear Grant Green comp?

Looks like they're ultimately owned by Concord Bicycle Music now (as of '19). It gets confusing in terms of who owns/operates that entity. But as of now, Concord Records - as subsidiary of Concord Bicycle - owns 100% of Fania, Fantasy, Razor & Tie, Rounder & Sugar Hill, Savoy, Tams-Witmark, Telarc, Varese Sarabande, Victory, Wind Up, & Musart among others. If anyone can make heads or tails of Concord Bicycle, have at it. It looks to me as if Concord Music might be used as an investment shell by Concord Bicycle. I say that b/c Concord Music went in with a bunch of other companies to invest in Quiyer, Inc. That appears to be some social media platform. If you read between the lines here, reissuing the back catalog isn't likely on anyone's mind at any of these companies. " Concord Music Group, Inc. engages in the development, management, and acquisition of sound recordings, music publishing, and theatrical performance rights. The company offers music labels, including Concord Records, Fantasy Records, Fearless Records, Loma Vista Recordings, and Rounder Records, records music. It also manages KIDZ BOP label and licensing activities. Concord Music Group, Inc. was formerly known as Concord Records, Inc. and changed its name to Concord Music Group, Inc. in December 2004. The company was founded in 1969 and is based in Los Angeles, California. It has additional offices in Beverly Hills, California; Nashville, Tennessee; New York, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; London, United Kingdom; and Berlin, Germany. Concord Music Group, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Concord Bicycle Music. "

Next up is Patton's Boogaloo With Sunshine Man Harold Alexander, George Brown, Pablo Landrum & Vincent McEwan.

Actually going by the full "Braithwaite" on the cover. Side question is that I'm wondering if he was related to Junior Braithwaite of early Wailers fame? And actually, I think Braith might be playing his Braithophone! It's a Stritch & soprano mended together. Wild wild stuff.
