Gearbox's Bandcamp page also says November 10: https://johnnygriffinmusic.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-ronnie-scott-s-1964

Per Riel's Wikipedia page, "Unriel" was released in 1997, and "Rielatin'" in 1999.

The inimitable and distinctive personal and collective sound of Ray Gallon, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash has transparency and clarity, where every note and gesture mean something. Ray Gallon's music is informed, passionate, and personal. He possesses a unique rhythmic imagination and a wrought iron vocabulary. Grand Company is a milestone. Bill Charlap

Release date November 10: This never-heard- before recording of the legendary tenor sax "Little Giant" Johnny Griffin playing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and backed by members of Ronnie's House Band (Stan Tracey, Malcolm Cecil and Jackie Dougan) sees a AAA vinyl release. The album was mastered at Gearbox Records using an all-analogue signal chain and cut directly from the original tapes, which were recorded at the club by Les Tomkins in 1964. The sleeve features photography by the esteemed Val Wilmer and liner notes by Richard Williams.

Release date November 10: • 11 previously unissued tracks from the rediscovered, legendary Hasaan Ibn Ali • Available on CD, Digital, and double-LP • Packaging includes new essay from pianist, composer & writer, Ethan Iverson The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan arrived in early 1965, and instantly became a jazz classic. Atlantic Records recorded Hasaan later that year, and the resulting album was shelved, and then thought lost, until it was restored from tape copies of acetates and issued nearly a half century later as Metaphysics: The Lost Atlantic Album. Metaphysics was a critical sensation, and furthered the legend and legacy of Hasaan’s innovative, exhilarating and inventive playing and songs. Retrospect In Retirement Of Delay: The Solo Recordings, another collection of previously unissued performances, followed – promoting The New Yorker to say that it “…reveals his profundity, his overwhelming power, his mighty virtuosity. It does more than put him on the map of jazz history — it expands the map to include the vast expanse of his musical achievement.” Now, Omnivore Recordings presents Reaching For The Stars: Trios / Duos / Solos featuring eleven more previously unissued recordings. The Trios feature Henry Grimes (Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Sonny Rollins) and Kalil Madi (Freddie McCoy, Mongo Santamaria – as well as Hasaan’s Metaphysics), performing six tracks (four of which appeared in their studio versions on The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan.) It also adds three songs with vocalist Muriel Gilliam, aka Muriel Winston, and a pair of solo portraits of the master pianist. Produced for release by Grammy®award-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski and ASCAP award-winning writer Alan Sukoenig, Reaching For The Stars features a new essay from pianist, composer & writer, Ethan Iverson. As with the previous Omnivore Hasaan Ibn Ali releases, this collection has been painstakingly restored and mastered by Grammy®award-winning engineer Michael Graves. This collection is another look into the previously unheard recordings of Hasaan Ibn Ali whose lost recorded work proves he was Reaching For The Stars and touching them all.

Whether one is already familiar with the music of Hirahara or discovering him for the first time, his latest effort is certain to bring insights and bright moments to jazz fans and serious listeners everywhere. About the Artist Art Hirahara is a jazz keyboardist and composer based in New York, NY. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Hirahara moved to New York in 2003 to be challenged by its pool of world-class musicians. There, he has honed his craft while performing in a wide range of musical situations, ranging from straight-ahead standards to time cycle-based progressive jazz to free improvisation. From the traditional to the avant-garde, Hirahara has found a sound of his own that cuts across genres and boundaries. Hirahara’s latest album, titled “Echo Canyon,” perseveres steadily along his personal journey of musical unfolding. With a steady hand, Hirahara displays a clear sense of creative continuity and succeeds in creating a bold, impassioned statement with significant and meaningful contributions from his trusted collaborators: bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Rudy Royston.

During his junior year, he began jazz piano studies with the Cleveland jazz giant, Neal Creque. He then continued at California Institute of the Arts, where he was mentored by David Roitstein, Charlie Haden and Wadada Leo Smith. It was there that he immersed himself in world music, focusing on West African drumming and dance, Balinese gamelan and North Indian tabla. In August of 2000, Hirahara self-released his debut record "Edge Of This Earth" to critical acclaim. After his move to New York, Hirahara studied at the Banff Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music program with Dave Douglas in 2004. Hirahara has had the privilege to perform with Stacey Kent, Don Braden, Freddy Cole, Akira Tana, Rufus Reid, Dave Douglas, Vincent Herring, Victor Lewis, Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra, Jenny Scheinman, Fred Ho, royal hartigan and Hafez Modirzadeh. He has performed around the world in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East and extensively around the United States. Hirahara’s piano and compositional sound are an amalgamation of the varied musical influences he has studied and the wide range of leaders he has worked for. Hirahara is constantly seeking new situations to challenge his musicality. Hirahara has also worked as a producer and musical director for various artists of different genres.
