Dub Modal

This was great. Thanks for putting it together and sharing the link.

My listening after the Rollins in Holland set from last night to this morning.

It's early in the week, but Three Little Words from the Rollins in Holland Resonance set might be the best song I'll be hearing all year - but definitely for this week.

Indeed. I just got the LP set of this release and that song got me (back) out of my chair and standing in amazement and for real LOL'ing at the end. Speed/edit issues aside, the Arnhem performance is now essential for me. Ridiculously good, and was continually blowing my mind. I'd recommend this to anyone. SQ was about what I expected but the vinyl quality was exceptional. And the liners, esp those by Aidan Levy (who has a forthcoming bio coming out on Sonny - will definitely be picking this up) were a great read.

Man, I need to listen to those VV sessions again. I thought Elvin was totally subdued and rather generic in a way, since that didnt really seem his style by those years.

I was able to read it. Thanks for linking. Didn't know his background but that had to be tough to get out of. And 67 is too young. RIP.

Good, but not essential, comp.

Ya dig? Right now playing Andrew Hill's A Beautiful Day:

That's it. Cover here - and I was wrong on the performance year, confused it with the CD release date (sorry about that - given that Art died in '82 an '83 performance was out of the question): And I forgot that Gumina played the polychord organ on this one. Adds a different sound to the performance. Also, I think reviews on this one are mixed, but I find it enjoyable too - this time from the 80s for real: From '82 with Cables, Farrell, Tony Dumas & John Dentz. The CD sounds just OK to me but I can't criticize the playing. One more to add, this one with Zoot Sims from '81:

I have a CD called I'll Remember April, Live at Foothills College from '83 with Fred Atwood, Jimmie Smith and Tommy Gumina that I think is really good. 4 tracks, 3 of which are standards. Didnt see it on YT, but if you find it give it a whirl.

Yeah, that's nice. Got a noir feel to it. I've never dipped into that album but will have to. The ensemble playing is right on point.

Yeah, I have that box and this one is in it: Mood music.

I guess this would fall into the "slow" category. Love this tune.

The Clarified Butter...mmmmm...butter

Classic 1936-1947 Count Basie And Lester Young Studio Sessions Just finished up disc 1, moving to disc 2.

Susie Ibarra's Talking Gong via bandcamp. Released a few weeks ago.

Listening to the 2nd half of this CD with dubs from Errol T, Sylvan Morris & Philip Smart.

I think if you check out their Sound Cloud link you'll get a good idea about what might be included.

When did you order? the offer is still there, but a bit hesitant to bite just yet.

I'll bet you some folks like that are on the stations toward the mountains. If I ever head that way again I'll see what I can find.

Yeah, I'm not anti-religion, don't want to be mis-construed. But I live in the heart of Southern Baptist country and what they tend to put on the radio is just syndicated national shows from big name preachers. The creativity there is pretty low.

Good point. I haven't spun the AM dial in a while. Last time it was so full of talk radio (religious, sports or politics) I couldn't stand it. I need to try again.
