Most likely, yes. With Ron Carter, Al Foster and. . .McCoy Tyner ?

Dale Fielder "Free Flow" Clarion Jazz cd

Andrew Hill "Eternal Spirit" Blue Note cd followed by SF Jazz Collective "Miguel Zenon Retrospective – Original Compositions 2004 to 2016" disc 1

One of my favorites, though not "with strings" in a conventional manner.

Yes, that one just skipped larger ensemble sessions. Both are very good sets.

The Complete Blue Note Lou Donaldson Sessions 1957-60

I'm also in the Cleveland area and similar things have been happening to packages to my address as well, both with USPS and UPS.

There was a Mosaic box set of some very good Blue Note material.

Ben Webster "Saturday Night at the Montmartre" Muzak Japan 2 cd set, disc 1 Great sound for this material.

SFJazz Collective "Music of Michael Jackson and Original Compositions" disc 2 I confess when I first get to know a few of their tour recordings of the pop music I think "These arrangements and sounds are a bit cheesey" for a few minutes and then BOOM I'm bowled over by trombone solos, or drum and bass grooves, or that alto sax right where it should be and I'm gone on a cool listening journey.

Okay, I'm glad you dig it so much. "Sounding" only gets an album so far with me. I would need two hands to count the Grateful Dead studio albums I think are more substantial musically than this one.

I don't think so, though he was not alone in being very concerned by Jerry's heroin addiction. Here's an interview with interesting material: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/grateful-deads-robert-hunter-on-jerrys-final-days-we-were-brothers-97334/

Cassandra Wilson "Song Book" Verve (compilation of JMT Records material)

Dave Brubeck "Time OutTakes"

That's the first and only time I've ever seen "Go to Heaven" described as a masterpiece.

Mark Turner "Dharma Days" Warner Bros. cd

Dale Fielder "Dear Sir: Tribute to Wayne Shorter" Clarion Jazz cd

Dexter Gordon "Montmartre 1964" Storyville cd

Actually I saw them in '80 with Brent and after seeing them several times with Keith and Donna it was a big let down. "Go to Heaven" had a few good songs (I confess I do love "Althea") but I hated Brent's songs and singing and the band's "feel" had changed not to my liking in concert. I was becoming discenchanted with rock in general and getting more and more into jazz from fusion and I just dropped the Dead--and other bands. I touched base with the Dead now and then after that and nothing drew me in. When I got back into the Dead this century I found nothing had changed. I like pre-1980 (espeically from the start to the "retirement") and didn't get into anything from beyond.

Keith Jarrett Trio "Tokyo '96" ECM cd

Joe Castro "Passion Flower: for Doris Duke" cd box set, disc 1 Three different trios intermixed on this disc. Enjoying it a lot.

Sun Ra "Egypt 1971" 4 cd set, disc 1

I ordered from Resonance. . .I got a shipping notice this morning.

Herbie Hancock "Speak Like a Child" Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG cd.

Wow, I'm so glad he recovered.
