Agreed. First Dexter BN I heard, so maybe I over-rate it out of nostalgia, but still...

[Gheorghe]

I really love this one. A fantastic reunion with those genial musicians Milt Jackson and James Moody, who had been associated with Diz in the 40´s. And the set repertoire is beautiful. Manteca a tune I love, Con Alma with  an interesting "new" arrangement and a trendy backbeat. And not to forget the features for Mr. Jackson and Mr. Moody (SKJ and Body and Soul). I´d like to mention also "Brother K." which is underrated but should be considered one of Dizzy´s greatest compositions along with let´s say Con Alma etc. ......

I remember Diz also did play it in Viena the year before.

The rhythm section is superb. Ed Cherry has been Dizzys favourite guitar player and he seems to have some Wes Montgomery roots. Saw him on several occasions with Diz, and even after Diz death in a Dizzy Alumni band. Mike Howell is a fantastic fender-bassist, he also has played for a long time with Diz, same with the very fine drummer Georges Hughes. One or two years later I saw Diz with Ed Cherry and Mike Howell, but then he had replaced the drummer with one from his generation, J.C. Heard, a very interesting choice.

Dizzy remains one of my favourites. I love his trumpet, his compositions which I play as much as possible.....

Rendell/ Carr——-Dusk Fire——-(Jazzman)

Strange but true this music is entirely new to me. It’s been on the list for years but I’d not pulled the trigger until now. All five Jazzman reissues landed today ( sans box) . Very impressed by the music and the presentation. Lovely quiet vinyl.

A bargain, considering that an OP of ‘Shades’ just sold for £2500 (so I’m told) !

would not surprise me. I was fine with the BGO CD and I'm fine with the Jazzman LP. That particular title is my least favorite of the bunch.

and my favourite (although I like them all).

One of my sweet weak point.

I have this since it came out in 1977. I remember first time it was quite hard listening for me then, and I was annoyed by the talking of the MC over the music, but soon after that I really appreciated it. Miles is almost as fast as Fats Navarro here, James Moody has some very interesting phrases that sound almost like those typical of the 60´s avantgarde, and it´s a rare occasion to hear Tadd Dameron doing really great solos, and we have the great Kenny Clark. And to mention the very good french bass player Barney Spieler.

John Coltrane - Kulu Se Mama: a nice original stereo issue. What a great album.

Moody's playing jumped out at me too.

I feel just the same.  Hooray for Diz!

Yep, very pleased with it. Just ordered a copy of 'Orlando' to keep it company.

What other Dulfer do you recommend (I have 'Maine' on the way too)? I'm thinking of getting Loevendie's 'Stairs!' next but this price is a bit hot and I have a dl of it already.

I'm not c_t, but I think you'll enjoy Maine. I have, over the years.

I'm happy to hear that. The combination of Rudd and Dulfer can only be a winner really.

[clifford_thornton]

I would say everything of Dulfer's up to and including Maine is great, but the early ones are expensive.

Loevendie, it's all awesome. Stairs! is rad, sort of like Giuffre collided with Marion Brown's Porto Novo.
