Release date July 10: Product Description Originally released in 1988, this extremely rare recording returns to the market for the first time in over 10 years. The debut album from one of Canada's most important bassists, Neil Swainson who has played with George Shearing, Diana Krall and countless others. Features tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson & trumpeter Woody Shaw and includes a previously unreleased track. Includes previously unreleased track featuring Woody Shaw. Woody Shaw's last ever studio recording. Features new liner notes by Phil Dwyer, interviews and rare photographs! Review Bassist Neil Swainson is known more as an accompanist (most notably with George Shearing) than as a bandleader, and this was his first opportunity to head his own recording date. Swainson was able to secure the services of both trumpeter Woody Shaw (on his final studio session just two years before his death) and tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, in addition to a couple of Toronto-based musicians: pianist Gary Williamson and drummer Jerry Fuller. Swainson, who has long had impressive technique and a beautiful tone, performs five of his originals, plus Henderson's ''Homestretch.'' Overall, this is an underrated, high-quality advanced hard bop date worth exploring. Scott Yanow --AllMusic Review

I'm now listening to, and enjoying, the Jan Garbarek & Hilliard Ensemble release "Remember me, my dear." But look at the ECM New Series logo in the upper right corner. The last letter of the word Series is some sort of stylized G or 6. SERIE6? SERIEG? This is repeated on the booklet cover. What does this mean?

I think Bill Evans was the problem that evening.

The one time I saw Lee, he was with Attila Zoller and Don Friedman at the New School. Magic.

RIP. He was his authentic voice. A lot of jazz history just died.

Hank Mobley in The New Yorker

I am loving the new Mosaic box. Gives me a new appreciation of Hank's craft. This may turn out to be one of my favorite Mosaics. -

What’s disconcerting is: while the fourth CD is on the Jazz Colours label, it contains Black Lion material (as can be seen on the download). It should have therefore been included in the new release, with all the tracks presented in the original playing order.

I've compared the new release to the three Black Lion CDs (Body And Soul, Both Sides Of Midnight, Take The 'A' Train). There are alternates of For All We Know and Blues Walk on the Black Lion releases that are not on the new issue; it's otherwise complete as to the Black Lion tracks. There was also a fourth CD, "Live at the Jazzhus Montmartre" on the Jazz Colours label, with material not on the Black Lions: I Should Care, Darn That Dream, Now's The Time, Satin Doll, What's New (thanks to Chuck Nessa for hipping me to this album's existence). It is available for download from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Live-At-Jazzhus-Dexter-Gordon/dp/B00ZRRH6DU/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1586821193&sr=1-2-fkmr0 I'd love to get the original playing order of these concerts.

That might have been a Reid Miles thing - "Hi" might have looked better on the cover. I think there were some other BNs with slight spelling variations on the cover, perhaps for the same reason.

I remember when Sugar Hill owned the Chess masters, and brought out The Great 28. Everyone then said the sound was dry. I wonder whether Chess was just getting it wrong before then, or perhaps people just weren't used to hearing these songs without clicks and dirt in the grooves. I have most of his important work on 3 box sets (two 5-disc and one 3-disc), The Chess Story. Sound quality is fine.

Is there a news report for this sad news - what’s the source?

Saw this listing on Dusty Groove, and it looks adorable: Maybe one of the coolest things we've ever stocked here at Dusty Groove – a totally cool record making machine – one that has a lathe-like process that actually lets you cut your own records! The machine also doubles as a small turntable – so you can also play 7" singles if you want – and it runs on USB power, and can also use a USB input from a phone for a source for the music. The package comes with 10 blank discs total, 5 black and 5 white – and the discs can be cut at 33rpm, for roughly 4 minutes of music, or 45rpm for 3 minutes of music. The box also contains a set of labels and sleeves, and a special issue of a magazine too – with articles in Japanese on the toy record maker! Some assembly required, and all text is in Japanese – but we did find that using Google Translate on our phone helped us understand most of the instructions. © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I've never found the water to be that dirty. I've been disappointed that, after cleaning 40 discs, the water doesn't have that much dirt at the bottom, as if I've wasted my time (of course, I know I haven't). I've also never found that the water left any residue on the disc, provided I dried it afterwards.
