There was a lot of Max Roach from the late 70´s that was not released on CD, never understood why.

Got a fanstastic Live at Amsterdam also from 77/78 the great quartet with Cecil Bridgewater, Billy Harper, Reggie Workman (I liked that version more than the second quartet with Pope and Calvin Hill instead of those two, though they also exceptional musicians).

Those days with Roach touring with that quartet were heaven on earth for me. I think the label of a lot of rare live stuff was Denon. They also did the best Archie Shepp Quartet recordings from that time.

Such a fantastic album. And it has a very very special meaning for me, since it was the first Art Farmer album I purchased, and the rhythm section is fantastic.

I purchased the LP shortly after it came out, Art Farmer was married in Vienna, he lived there when he was not touring. Needless to say I got the album signed from him with a really nice dedication. That´s a treasure for me. Needless to say for just listening I bought it on CD also a few years ago.

Probably the best of the 70's Max Roach 4tet "live" recordings - but they are uniformly excellent as is the studio date for Horo titled "The Loadstar" ....

Yes, I´ve heard so much about it, but missed it when it was available then, the only Horo´s I had and have are the two Sun Ra´s

Another one that gets overlooked: This superb early-80s release, which has never been issued in any digital format (to my knowledge):

Chattahoochee Red (Columbia, 1981)

On most days, I suppose I slightly prefer the latter incarnation of the quartet (with Pope & Hill) -- but they were both amazing bands and tremendously under-recognized.

Groovy.

The Lodestar was reissued (recently, I think) as seen on eBay here.  But only on vinyl.  No idea whether it's totally legit.

Confession: I scrounged my download from a blog some years ago. Easier to justify, I guess, back when it was practically IMPOSSIBLE to find.
