Still hoping for that official reissue. I wonder why both Pure Pleasure and P-Vine have never touched this one?

Now spinning on my turntable:

Baden Powell Quartet, Vol. 3 (Barclay FR, 1971)

This LP arrived in the mail yesterday, and I just gave it thorough cleaning on my record cleaning machine.  The music, AQ, and record condition are all TOP-SHELF.  Beautiful.  And the LP only cost me $5 on eBay.  Quite a score! 

I think this band -- with Ernesto Ribeiro Gonçalves (b), Helio Schiavo (d), Alfredo Bessa (perc, vo) and Janine de Waleyne contributing occasional vocals -- is one of the finest supporting groups that Powell ever had. 

Now officially on my "to get" radar: Volumes 1 & 2 from the same December 1970 sessions in Paris.

Me too. With Mtume's death and some other organizational complications, it seems to have stalled. But I remain hopeful and have the raw materials at the ready.

What do you mean with raw materials Clifford? You mean you are the owner of the master tapes? 😱

One of his finest hours, for sure. 

But we're spoiled for choice.  He made so many extraordinary albums.

You're right .... and off course (again 😇) a matter of personal preferences ....

no, other materials for the project in which I was to be involved.

Tapes are gone, IIRC.

Mistletoe Magic - Holiday Jazz Improvisations - Various Artists (Palo Alto). This is such a good Jazz album it's almost unfortunate that it gets called a "Christmas album". Sure, the melodies are all well-trodden Christmas tunes but these artists take them well away from those melodies. A couple of times they even skew outside a tiny bit. If I had one complaint it would be the excessive use of reverb on some tracks/instruments. On the first track, Hino's trumpet sounds horrible. If reverb had a setting, it would've been set to 11 on this one. It sounded like he was playing in an airplane hanger.

Great bands here:

1) Elvin Jones Quintet - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Terumasa Hino, cornet; Dave Leibman, soprano sax; Kenny Kirkland, piano; George Mraz, bass; Elvin Jones, drums. 2) Free Flight - Silent Night/Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Jim Walker, flute; Milcho Leviev, keys; Jim Lacefield, bass; Ralph Humphrey, drums. 3) Larry Vuckovich Sextet – We Three Kings Of Orient Are Tom Harrell, trumpet; Charles McPherson, alto sax; Jerome Richardson, soprano sax; Larry Vukovich, piano; Ray Drummond, bass; Eddie Moore, drums.  4) Full Faith & Credit Big Band - O Holy Night Soloists - Jim Benham, flugelhorn; Dave Eshelman, trombone 5) Richie Cole Quintet - Sleigh Ride Richie Cole & Art Pepper, alto sax; Roger Kellaway, piano; Bob Magnusson, bass; Billy Higgins, drums. 6) Meredith D'Ambrosio/Hank Jones Duo - The Christmas Waltz Meredith D'Ambrosio, vocal; Hank Jones, piano. 7) Mal Waldron Quartet - The Christmas Song Joe Henderson, tenor sax; Mal Waldrom, piano; David Friesen, bass; Billy Higgins, drums. 😎 Les DeMerle Sextet - Little Bebop Drummer Boy Bobby Shew, flugelhorn; Don Menza, tenor sax & flute; Lanny Morgan, flute; Jack Wilson, piano; Bob Magnusson, bass; Les DeMerle, drums. 9) Full Faith & Credit Big Band - We Three Kings Of Orient Are Soloist - Paul Robertson, alto sax
