 Probably the best way to hear that music - outside of original 78s.

I listened a couple times through Bandcamp on my iMac, then bought a CD on eBay.

The cover of Hemphill's Dogon A.D. was least interesting to me, but then the original album is a masterpiece. The poem set to music was very effective. On the whole it sounded like something I will return to often, hence the CD.

Desert island music. I've been listening for over 40 years and it just keeps getting deeper.

Discs 2 & 3 of 4. (First listen to these discs and I guarantee I am not going to try to force them back into the stiff, unyielding, top-loading hardboard pages that were designed to imprison/deface them.  I hate product design which looks nice on paper but actually makes the product more frustrating to use by the consumer.)  A lot of great music which I have not heard before.

Nice relaxing music. I lived in Spain and this reminds me of music I used to hear there.

Makes me happy that someone else here has heard it.

Actually, I had not heard it but I was intrigued by it and listened to it on YouTube and enjoyed it very much. Thank you. I grew up in Latin America and Spain and listening to the album made me wistful for those times.

I spent a lot of time driving in the car this afternoon and evening, listening to jazz all along the way. 

Style-wise, I covered quite a bit of territory.

A couple fusion classics:

   

In 1974 Crosswinds peaked at the 23rd position the Billboard charts.  Not on the jazz charts; the pop music charts!  Can you imagine a jazz record doing that today?!??!

 

Live Ellington from the stockpile:

Lots of terrific Shorty Baker on this disc.

 

Some SERIOUS soul-jazz from Fathead:

 

And, last but not least, some great tenor from Illinois Jacquet:
