George Coleman (ts), Herbie Hancock (pno), Ron Carter (b), Tony Williams (dms): My Funny Valentine; All of You ; Go-Go ; Stella by Starlight ; All Blues ; I Thought About You ; So What ; Walkin’ ; Joshua ; Four ; Seven Steps to Heaven ; There Is No Greater Love .

According to the jazzmataz, on Feb 22 the Smithsonian will release anothe MLW recording from the 60's. Anybody familiar with this session? Worth picking it up?

I have to agree

February 4 1959: Charles Mingus (b), Jackie McLean, John Handy (as), Booker Ervin (ts), Pepper Adams (bs), Jimmy Knepper, Willie Dennis (tb), Horace Parlan (pno), Mal Waldron (*pno), Dannie Richmond (dms): Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting , Cryin’ Blues, Moanin’ , Tensions, My Jelly Roll Soul , E’s Flat Ah’s Flat Too* .

I would take option A. This set will be the 1st one to go OOP.

I saw Buddy DeFranco last week. Mr. DeFranco is 81 and he was great. It was an unforgettable experience.

Recently I ordered: Miles Davis - Seven Steps: The Complete Columbia Recordings 1963-1964. Wildflowers: The New York Loft Jazz Sessions - Complete. Kenny Drew w/ Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen : Live in Concert.

Great news!!!! I'll probably pre-order this one.

Revelation is a great session. Three more good reasons to listen to it: William Parker, Hamid Drake & Assif Tsahar.

Lestre Young on Verve is a great set. I enjoy every note he plays.

I think it was on 97 or 98: Sam Rivers & Andrew Hill.

From time to time I use to go to the shelves and look for some old stuff I haven’t listened to for a long time. Today I took with me to the office Booker Ervin's The Blues Book. What a great player Ervin was!!! And what a great front line was it- Booker Ervin & Carmel Jones! And also Richard Davis is doing an amazing job. I think Booker Ervin can stand in the same line with some of the greatest players of the 60's. There is no doubt in my mind that all the "books" he recorded for Prestige are among Prestige best recordings ever.
