Bought it at much the same time as this, which is also excellent.

Same here ! And ‘New Life’, bought around the same time, both still in my collection.

Those A&M Horizons got good distribution in the UK.

Two great sessions: 

On side one you have Roy Eldridge with Flip Phillips, really great, and I Always said that Roy Eldridge was so much ahead of his time, his Generation. He went as far as playing the strictly boppish "Ornithology" Theme on the Outing of "How High the Moon". And "Flip and Jazz" is really hot stuff.

The second side is famous mostly for the participation of the great Fats Navarro, but all the others , Allen Eager, Charlie Ventura, Ralph Burns, Bill Harris, Chubby Jackson and Buddy Rich with his great solo on "Sweet Georgia Brown" are also great. 

I purchased this "America" LP in 1978 and still like it very much.

Roy, Fats Eager - outstanding!!!

Terumasa Hino--------Journey to air---------(Love/Ultra Vybe)

 

Pretty wild workout. I'll need to give this a few more listens to establish if the star studded band actually make it airborne. I know nothing about this reissue program other than it being part of RSD2020. For anyone interested pressing seems very good but then again I've got nothing to compare it to. Printing quality of the sleeve is adequate , about the same standard of the Blue Note 80 LP series.

Interesting - I saw it advertised in the forthcoming RSD batch, along with another Hino reissue. Not my thing but good to see this stuff is at least being reissued.

Good one -- have the original silkscreen private press that Hino did for his "Love" imprint.

Listening to this LP again:

Such moving music, shimmering with Life.

Plus there was the ‘Live In Munich’. Picked that one up much later.

Thanks again Dan!

Hope you enjoy it ... I did keep a burn for myself just didn't feel like I had to hang on to the vinyl so I passed it on ...

Greatly enjoying it!  

May many good vibes -- both figurative and literal -- flow your way as karmic payback/playback !

We can only hope ...

The CvsD reissue is very good with a slightly different personnel. Also has some steel drum action.

I bought the CD version. 360 Degree Experience is the title

[mjazzg]

All of the Beaver Harris leader dates are really good.  A good number have steel drums.

Meanwhile, I decided it was time to plug some Gato sized  holes in the collection. Today's arrival

Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America [Impulse]

I knew some of this from a CD compilation. It's good to have it in its entirety.

Chapter Two's in the post. So until that arrives it's this

Oliver Nelson - Swiss Suite [Flying Dutchman], featuring Gato Barbieri & Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

Such a great record!

Gato had an astounding run in the first half of the 70s with Flying Dutchman and Impulse.  I love all of them!

Sadly with added reverb - but Mosaic sorted it out in their stellar box. I have a copy of that Sonny Lester LP too.

’Live In Munich’ was also on A&M Horizon but I’m not sure it had a UK release.

I am finally spinning this Tone Poet LP and I think I get a feeling for why this was shelved. The first track, "Mirrors", has a very odd-sounding stereo sound. Basically it's two extremely separated mono channels, with vibes, piano, bass and drums in the right channel and Joe Henderson's tenor isolated in the left channel. The sound is wonderful but it sounds weird. The second track, "For Duke P.", in contrast, sounds much more "normal".

It's unfortunate that 'If Ever I Would Leave You' from the CD version had to be left out (LP playing time constrictions...?) since it was a very fitting opening track for that album.

I'm not jlhoots but that is the one that had the recent CD reissue.  I have the LP,  a very good album indeed, up there with the best of Beaver's in my book.  Great steel drums!

It is.  I don't know why I'd slept on him.  I'd been knocked out by the CD comp from '97 (wow!) and haven't listened to it for probably 10 years.  This weekend he came into my head and I listened to Chapters 1 & 4 on Spotify and decided I needed the LPs for all Chapters.

Interestingly, just looking at the CD comp booklet for the date I've read that a number of the tracks are unreleased as they are the full versions of tracks shortened for the LPs.  Now I have to listen to the CDs too...

Yes the CD comp has the complete tracks and has also an fair remastering.
