  1. I pre-ordered the CD set from udiscover.com. My friend says he's ordered from them and never had a problem.
  2. Didn't know it was released yet. Will have to check it out.
  3. This show is from December, but it was REALLY good. I think I saw 2 of those shows that weekend. I might have to watch it again.
  4. Looking forward to getting this (the CD set). David told me he thinks the new mastering is a big improvement, too. So there’s that! https://store.bluenote.com/collections/new-releases/products/lee-morgan-the-complete-live-at-the-lighthouse
  5. Somehow I missed THAT bill, but I saw the Roach, Harper, Bridgewater, Hill quartet at the KK in Nov 77.
  6. Same here, Lon. I saw Traffic at Winterland in 73 and 74. He was probably with them in 73, touring with "Shootout at the Fantasy Factory". 74 might have been the "When the Eagle Flies" lineup.
  7. "Live performance by reunited and iconic members of the Winston-Salem scene. In a fun, Nuggets-like trip back to the era of the Summer of Love, Yesterday’s Tomorrow: Celebrating the Winston-Salem Sound shines a strobe light on the vibrant ’60s and ’70s Combo Corner rock scene of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Original members of bands such as Arrogance, Little Diesel, Sacred Irony, and Rittenhouse Square—including Mitch Easter (Let’s Active); Peter Holsapple, Will Rigby, and Chris Stamey (The dB’s); and Don Dixon—convened on May 12, 2018, at the Ramkat Club to revisit those fuzzbox years, and this remarkable live concert recording shines brightly with their camaraderie and precise enthusiasm for those days of yore."

    Always liked this album. Very raw. This tune by "the Scottish composer, Jack Bruce"
  10. Been listening to it. Sounds great! I realized that I have a lot more of these tracks than I thought, but that's OK. It's nice to have all of them all collected in one box set and remastered by Malcolm Addey
  11. Cool! I still have the original albums and the Mosaic, as well. I don't buy vinyl anymore or I would probably pick these up, too.
  12. For you vinyl collectors, these two new reissues are must-haves! Light in the Attic Records: Live At Slugs' Volume One and Two
  13. Not strictly jazz, but it's about creativity and there's a lot of jazz in here
  14. This weekend: Keystone Korner The T.K.Blue/Billy Harper Quintet will play music from The Rhythms Continue on JAJA Records, a suite dedicated to NEA Jazz Master Dr Randy Weston. T.K. Blue (Saxophonist/Flautist): composer, educator, bandleader and former musical director and arranger for NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston. T.K. Blue appears on over eighty recordings and has performed with such artists as Don Cherry, Abdullah Ibrahim, Sam Rivers, Archie Shepp, Dizzy Gillespie, Pharoah Sanders, Melba Liston, Chico Hamilton, Stefon Harris, Regina Carter, Bobby McFerrin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Scott, Jayne Cortez, Benny Powell, Mal Waldron, Winard Harper, Warren Wolf, Gregoire Maret, Allan Harris, Candido Camera, Bobby Sanabria, Steve Turre, Arturo O’Farrill, David Murray and Hale Smith to name just a few. In May 2017, T.K. released Amour, his 11th CD, cited as one of the best jazz recordings of the year by DownBeat Magazine (four stars). Deeply indebted to organizations such as Jazzmobile, Jazz-interactions, Henry Street Settlement, and the Muse for his own jazz studies, T.K. has remained committed to music education from pre-K to the university level. In addition Professor Blue has a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts from NYU, with a major in Music and Psychology, and a Master’s in Music Education from Teacher’s College, Columbia University. He has taught at Suffolk Community College, Montclair State University, and Long Island University where he was also the Director of Jazz Studies from 2007 to 2014. In 2007, T.K was commissioned by NYSCA and Transart Inc. to compose a work dedicated to the early African American presence in the Hudson Valley area of upstate New York. He released Follow the North Star, a suite based on the life of Solomon Northup and his memoir, Twelve Years a Slave. The Rhythms Continue, T.K. Blue's new suite, is made up of compositions by T.K. Blue, Melba Liston and Randy Weston, featuring an ensemble of musicians who are well-versed in the Africans Rhythms, jazz sensibility and passionate intensity that is hallmark to the compositions of master Randy Weston. Billy Harper is one of a generation of Coltrane-influenced tenor saxophonists who actually built upon the master's work, rather than simply copy it. Harper is consummately well-rounded, able to play convincingly in any context, from bop to free. His muscular tone, lithe articulation, comprehensive harmonic knowledge, and unflagging energy define him as a saxophonist. He's also possessed of an abundant imagination that connects directly to his blues and gospel roots. Allyn Johnson--piano Eric Kennedy--drums Herman Burney--bass
  15. Got mine today. Haven't listened to it yet, but will dig in this weekend. Agreed ... GREAT cover photo!
  16. I saw Larry with McLaughlin/Santana in 1973. Unfortunately I wasn't up to speed on who he was at the time, but I'm glad I got to see him anyway.
