Yes, there is an interesting essay on Mack and his 12-tone experiments on New Directions in the Max Harrison book.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen another copy of the Mack LP over here so must have sold in tiny quantities.

Liberty, stereo

I'm tickled that someone else here has this very interesting record. Inspired by Max Harrison's praise, I tracked down the American Serenus issue a few years back:

Ha !    Wasn’t even thinking of that. The combination of plastylite vinyl, B3 organ, the Braithophone and my woofers is not for the faint hearted though !

Great lineup with Cliff Jordan and Art Farmer......., one of my favourite Horace Silver records, together with "Stylings of Silver" and others

[sidewinder]

Yes, it is a brilliant record. Not only the quality of the improvisations of the two stellar horns but it is clear that Horace did his homework and arranged and rehearsed some very classy charts.

That's really the only Horace record I've totally clicked with, oddly.

One of those outfits, like the LJCO, that I'll probably never encounter in real life. 

[mjazzg]

Sadly I'm not sure any of us will witness LJCO live again what with Barry Guy an expat. The last mooted gig fell through because of lack of funding. But we can live in hope...as for Globe Unity...

[clifford_thornton]

aha, I did not know about that last concert falling apart. Bummer.

‘Rare Groove’ LP

Edited April 1, 2019 by sidewinder

[mjazzg]

Emil Richards And The Microtonal Blues Band - Spirit Of 1976/Live At Donte's [Impulse]

Herbie Mann - The Wailing Dervishes [Atlantic, mono]

Rod Levitt Orchestra - Forty-Second Street [RCA Victor]

[Ted O'Reilly]

I don't think the Levitt "42nd Street" has ever been issued on CD.  And the other two albums he did for them has been handled in a piece-meal fashion by RCA, though some of it came out on a Spanish bootleg if I recall.  The Riverside Levitt was handled properly...

I've always thought they were terrific releases:  good writing, good playing.

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Face To Face [Emanem]

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Birds Of A Feather [BYG]

John Stevens - Spontaneous Music Ensemble [Polydor]

Pharoah Sanders - Africa [Timeless]

[clifford_thornton]

I feel like I've seen the vinyl version of Sanders' Africa far less than the preceding three records in your post.

[mjazzg]

Not sure why I went to it after an SME afternoon. Had to dig out from the depths of a cupboard. Good listen, took me back to when I bought it on release

GARY FOSTER & PONCHO

[Gheorghe]

One of my alltime favourites as soon as it came out in the late 70´s on CBS. That was the time, when I discoverd "Bird" due to my first few albums of Miles and Mingus, where Bird as influence and mentor was mentioned. After my first purchase (Savoy Master Takes) this one was my second purchase but at first listening I was kind of shocked and puzzeld by the "terrible sound quality". On this , the treble was so up it had an outright piercing sound. I had to pull up the bass level and completly down the treble and still it sounded "shrill". But after a few starts I noticed the high quality of that exiting live music. It was the first time I heard about Fats and Bud and fell in love with Blakey´s powerful drumming.

I can´t listen to this every day, but sometimes I pick it just for the memory of those days when I was thrilled by all that powerful music though badly recorded, and I remember I loved Dan Morgensterns most interesting liner notes so that I could "imagine" how Birdland was in 1950.....
