I say appreciate these new releases while you can. Nils Winther isn't going to be around forever. Release date February 15:

The same dynamic happens on the Blackhawk sets. Listen to how Kelly, Chambers and Cobb ramp up when Mobley begins soloing. Maybe it was on direction of Miles?

OK, thanks. Not a lot of love for them here. I just remember spine printing not aligned on the spine.

What does this mean: Stoughton "Old Style" Tip On Jacket Faithfully Restore

It's an interesting tour. The earlier album, "Space Flight" (the one with Grant Green), is the more uninteresting of the two. It's probably of it's time: more R&B than jazz, like a dumbed-down version of Baby Face Willette's Blue Note albums. A lot of it is what a friend of mine used to call "stripper music." You probably have a lot of this type of music already in your collection. Lazar plays an aggressive style of organ, and GG plays every lick you've already heard of his. I had always wanted to hear the album, and now I've heard it. I was pleased and surprised that "Playback," the second album, is much better. There's much more of a supple rhythm, the material is more sophisticated, and the overall blend of instruments is more listenable. There's much more jazz content on this one. I liked Joe Diorio on guitar more than GG, Phillip Wilson is the drummer (I'm assuming he's the Art Ensemble drummer), and the tenor saxist is Miller Brisker (misspelled in the CD booklet as Miller Brisket). The sound quality and mix are much better than on "Space Flight"; it's a more modern-sounding recording, with less echo. So what we have here is an enjoyable album, an historically-important album, and a rare 45. Not too bad a deal.

Release date December 6: A previously unreleased treasure. This is the final ever recording of the legendary, influential drummer, whose impact across Rock, Funk and Soul, as well as Jazz, is unrivalled to this day. Recorded over 2 nights, 19th & 20th November 1986, at Ronnie Scott's in London, England. Available as 4 physical formats, as standard and Deluxe. The deluxe, Collector's Editions include a full 30 minutes of extra material, including a gob-smacking drum solo demonstrating that even toward the end of his life, his playing was unsurpassable The Collector's Editions will be available in limited batches at a time, to optimise their value, and increase collectability. Includes full liner notes by Buddy's daughter Cath, who also appears as a guest vocalist on the recording 'My dad chose set lists for the two nights that I hadn't heard before. He was always brilliant in choosing the right sets, but this time he shied away from the tried and true and went to places musically that were very different. It was as if he knew that he didn't have to prove anything anymore and could relax and go wherever he wanted and enjoy it. I think the end result proves just that. For two incredible nights I got to sit in the audience and cheer right along with everyone else. I will always remember that time as one of the greatest moments in my life. Now I can revel in the fact that, thankfully, his last recordings were caught on tape for all of us to enjoy forever. It has taken thirty-three years to finally get these recordings out. An absolute labor of love that I never gave up on. At times it was quite a struggle, but in the end it was all about the music.'

I'm listening to it now. Sound quality is fine. The first two tracks had to have been copied from the Cawthron 45, but it sounds fine - no clicks or pops. I'm now in the midst of the Space Flight LP tracks. It doesn't sound like an LP rip. The sound quality and style of recording are like the Baby Face Willette Argo LPs rather than something recorded at Rudy's, but it's perfectly acceptable. Lots of echo on the organ and guitar.

I missed this when it came out; still kicking myself.

This one, recorded November 12, 1972 in Switzerland: Released on Concord/The George Wein Collection GW-3004 in 1984. I found a used copy not long ago at Dusty Groove.

I recently found a used copy of Demons In Pursuit, and it was like rediscovering an old friend. Someone I knew in college gave me the album originally; he got the copy because a friend of his, who went to our college, did the inside illustration. What a band: Walrath, John Scofield, Jim McNeely, Ray Drummond and Dannie Richmond. Recorded at Rudy's in 1979. I don't know that it's ever been re-released. I know he's done a lot since then. Do you have any favorites?

I have it, but haven’t yet listened to it.

The last album in the "Criss Cross New Releases" thread was released May 17. We shall see... It was produced by Mr. Teekens, so I guess he was still in charge:

Must respectfully disagree about Pepper Adams. I love his work, but this album, with just him and a rhythm section on 4 long cuts, is an effort to get through:

This one adds a piano:

HutchFan, I hope one aspect you'll touch on is big bands and smaller big bands in the '70's. Not that I love that music, but it was a part of the jazz ecosystem. People like Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, Akiyoshi/Tabackin, Bob Brookmeyer, among others...it seemed like there was a real effort to keep this style of music alive.

Great accompaniment!

There's so much good J.O.S. on Blue Note. I also really like Rockin' The Boat (talk about greasy!), Home Cookin', Cool Blues, and the Open House/Plain Talk date.

I find that fascinating, because DeepDiscount.com and importcds.com are the same company.

This is the lowest price I've ever seen for this box: $149.99 at Amazon:

RIP.
