Art Farmer - Work of Art - (Prestige New Jazz/Japanese Victor, mono)

Jerome Richardson - Going to the Movies - (UA stereo orig) separation is a little weird, but it's a really nice record.

Yeesh.

Damn - I hope those crappy MP3s aren't an indication of how the reissue sounds. I mean, I know it's probably lo-fi but the compression on the drums sounds awful.

Will try to make all the NY gigs for both me and Allen...

Wish I could attend that Austin gig - jeez!

Stuck with a Jasmine issue, but I'm surviving... Now: Ted Curson - Blue Piccolo - (Whynot, JP)

good choice.

Nope, but that is also a good album!

Why Not? is a George Cables record. (But I do agree with you that it's a wonderful record!) Cables. Cowell. Easy to mix 'em up. Nope, Why Not? as in the Marion Brown LP from 1966...

Nice one. I was there, my first jazz concert. The Couriers were supporting Dave Brubeck. damn - that's pretty incredible.

I'll have to find Ted's release of Mr. Cowell's music. Musa is really excellent solo piano music indeed. His work with Marion Brown is lovely - check side two of Three for Shepp as a place to start, and Why Not? is excellent as well.

Yes, Blues for the Vietcong, and Brilliant Circles is also excellent. (I'd throw in the Strata-East LPs if I were being a little more loosey-goosey with my rec's)

I have never heard of Peter Beets so I will check him out. The point of this thread, I think, is to mention people that some/many of us may never have heard of, and for that I'm grateful. Sure, there are those of us who've been listening to Bobby Few or whomever for many years but hey, someone could always be turned onto his music.

I had actually forgotten all about that - early incarnation of Trio 3 + Crispell. Wonder if they'll revisit?

I thought the Shepp photo had circulated before and was included in the Love Supreme set from the early 00's.

The Paris Quartet - Jazz a Confronto 28 - (Horo) Jeanneau, Graillier, Jenny-Clarke and Romano diving into some Coltrane-esque modal hard-bop regions. Not particularly ground-breaking and maybe a bit anachronistic for the late 70s, but nice.

The People Band - s/t - (Transatlantic UK orig)

Nice. Can't wait.

I thought Art Yard were legit and Transparency were boots.

Think I have the same pressing... really nice session.

Kidd Jordan can be a really interesting player in the right setting; he's not a particularly loud player, so I imagine the acoustics have to be right for him to get certain things across.

That duet between Thad and Burrell (an extra from 1513) is really gorgeous. I actually don't have the Detroit-New York Junction LP and should probably grab a copy at some point, come to think of it... (likely not an original, haha)

Oh, I'll buy it to hear a crisp take of the sextet w/ Shepp and Davis.
