Subtitled "New York Section Composers of the 1970's"

Some great music on this from Sam Rivers, Mary Lou Williams, Gil Evans, Milford Graves and Sunny Murray

The Sunny Murray piece may be the stand out. It's credited to UMUM Quartet about which my initial searches finds nothing. Anyone know who they are?

Strangely, I've never owned this though I've seen it quite a few times in the racks. Can't find any credits for the Murray track though the short clip on the Smithsonian Folkways site does have tenor saxophone... of course the transfer is so bad it's hard to make an educated guess as to the participants.

Info that I think I got from the Lord discography:

Middy Middleton - tenor sax; Edward Crockett - bass; Sunny Murray - drums; Philly Joe Jones - congas; Joe Lee Wilson - vocal; NYC, c. 1973 "This was originally recorded for the Creative Artist Program Record Edition by Desto Records."

John Coltrane - Expression (Impulse). Nice original pressing that cost me all of a dollar in a junk shop in Bellingham, Washington.

I replaced my Well Tempered Amadeus with a  VPI Prime. I have been struggling to change speeds on the WTA.  I only wanted a parallel shift (to something easier to use ) but wound up with a TTthat sounds many leagues better. 

I hope you enjoy your VPI better than I did mine... I hated that tonearm. I dreaded setting the needle down on the record, as I could see it wobble back and forth for a few seconds as the tonearm pivot settled. In theory, a needle is the optimal tonearm pivot. In practice, I just didn't like it. I also could never get the anti-skate set right. They tell you to twist the wires for anti-skate, but that was too course.

I will say this, to make your life easier in setting the VTF and azimuth, get one of these: https://www.musicdirect.com/analog-accessories/soundsmith-counter-intuitive-for-vpi-tonearms It helped my sanity.

And please don't get me wrong - VPI is a highly respected turntable and I would never tell anyone that it's not a great turntable. I just didn't like it at all... and I really, really wanted to.

I know what you mean about the tone arm wobble as you set it down. I’ve found if you don’t hurry there’s really no problem. It’s much less hassle than my WTA. ( drive belt snapped frequently and was a major PITA to refit. I think I’ll be fine with my VPI

I’d like to say yes but that’s not a realistic prospect.

Great music but it’s marred by incorrect track listing and erroneous personnel information.

Agreed .... and although excellent music still I was left with the impression that based on the musicians involved more concise results would have been achievable ....

I've not played this in a while and I'm impressed all over again. Besides the co-leaders Kirk Lightsey is pretty phenomenal on the piano but then again Albert Tootie propels things along more than nicely. Excellent date (1977 release)
