This release list has a lot of nice stuff in it. I don't buy vinyl anymore, but for those looking there are a lot of gems. I have friends who buy lots of these and have recommended some of the less obvious but excellent sessions here, incl: Gerald Wilson, Donald Byrd (will they release Vol 2?), Andrew Hill, Blue Mitchell, Curtis Amy

Caught part of that film tonight. Both Sammy and Frank Jr portrayed trumpeters. Interesting film and cast.

I saw Immanuel Wilkins last month in a streaming show with Orrin Evans. He was very good. See him if you get a chance.

Johnathan Blake last weekend from Smoke had Sullivan Fortner on piano instead of David Virelles. He was very good.

Watched the Saturday show this afternoon. I enjoyed it. They worked well together.

Title track is now available on Amazon Music

Palberta "Palberta5000" - had a nice review in today's NYT.

Naima was Trane's first wife

Next weekend at Smoke (Chris Potter in two places at once): SMOKE SCREENS PRESENTS: THE JOHNATHAN BLAKE QUARTET FEATURING CHRIS POTTER, DAVID VIRELLES, & BEN STREET JANUARY 22 - JANUARY 23 / LIVE STREAMED / 8PM EST Buy Streaming Pass I noticed that about Chris Potter! One of these venues is NOT "Live".

I planned to watch Thumbscrew but didn't catch either set. Fortunately I've seen them live a couple of times, and I'll see them again.

Frankie And The Witch Fingers "Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters..." Interesting combination of psychedelic, hard rock, jam band, and a touch of jazz

That's a great and creative collection. Some of his best BN work regardless of who's name was on the album cover.

Another good one!

I like Kris Davis. Will probably check that out.

The Select box is a good set. Worth having.
