Ornette! - programmed as originally issued from the Atlantic box set.

Bill Evans - The Paris Concert, Edition One (BN). I admire this, but I'm not loving it tonight.

Listened to this for the first time today. It's a very good one and I hope that others will check it out.

Thank you, Paul. I generally don't promote my own music here, but I'm proud of this one - it's the best thing I've ever done. Four duets each with percussionist Stuart Gerber (Stockhausen collaborator), Atlanta pianist Chris Case, and San Diego-based trombonist Peter Sloan. Cover design by Grammy winner Susan Archie. Some ballads, but in the avant-garde camp for sure. Available on Bandcamp and CDBaby now, all over the place soon. PM me if interested.

Oh, and the first issued recording of Steve Lacy's saxophone / trombone duet "Dues."

After listening to Jeff's new CD, I felt the urge to listen to another Atlanta native.

I've always liked the cover photos on this one - taken by our own brownie (the member, not the camera) - though this CD issue only includes one of them. I had to take the LP off the shelf to see the other, and I did that.

Two great bassplayers on offer ....

I've been intending to play this masterpiece for ages.

I heard a track on the radio bcck in the day  -  bought the album the very next day.

Desert island material ....

I have not listened to those (VOL 1-5) for many years. I enjoy it now, especially  like others here I like much of Bud´s later playing. The very early stuff, especially the early Verves tend to be too much high register runs.

The latterday performances have astute quotes from other songs, the playing is a bit more laid back, and it´s not such a speed race like earlier achievements.

The drummer is okay, the bass is a bit reluctant. When Bud stops for him to do a bass solo, he just keeps walking on, not soloing.

On my CD, it starts with 2 before unussued tracks , a very fast "Swedish Pastry" and a nice "There will Never be another You". But no reference to it in the liner notes.

IMHO this is Bud in very good form and a very pleasant listening experience.

The Bill Evans session was recently discussed in an article by Gene Lees that Jazz Profiles recently reprinted. Bill Evans in Paris

Trying to decide whether to order the Detroit '73 reissue (doesn't seem compelling apart from Pullen's playing).

Wow.  Just wow.  40 years down the road, this is still an incredible performance.
