I listened to that Raphe Malik CD recently. Some good playing there.

Ray Charles and Betty Carter

Some good sounds there, Rod.

It's two tracks (or perhaps one, depending on where you look) from S.F. in 1964 and one track (or perhaps two) from the Half Note in NYC from 1965. The title track has some wild blowing from Trane - not entirely successful to my ears, though other's opinions may differ from mine.

Young Jessie: Hit, Git & Split

Trane: Creation

Derek Bailey: Ballads (Tzadik) Looks a little like a Venus cover.

Happy Birthday!

John Lewis: Grand Encounter - 2 Degrees East/3 Degrees West

Don Menza: Jack Rabbitt (Cadence Jazz)

Robert Barry and Fred Anderson: Duets 2001 (Thrill Jockey)

Some classic bop piano. I've have that set on LP for 30 years and enjoy it every time I play it.

My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama (Lenox)

Booker Little 4 & Max Roach

The Best of Muddy Waters

Beautiful!

Pee Wee Crayton, Bobby Parker, L.C. McKinley: Vee Jay Screaming Blues Guitar

Sly & The Family Stone: There's a Riot Goin' On

Good record - on "Duets", Marsh plays an overdubbed duet with himself.

What We Live: Especially the Traveler Tomorrow (Metalanguage)

Roscoe Mitchell & the Note Factory: Song for My Sister (Pi)

Good stuff The Sound of Jazz

I guess this is one case where the reissue tops the original. Except maybe not to the extremist collector who doesn't listen to what's in their collection and just looks at their LPs. There must be one or two of those around.
