Some great music across those albums. Abdul Wadud on 'Raw Materials...' a highlight

Yes, all in one sitting, AKA "how my ears spent much of my work day".  I was fairly stunned at how much I liked the saxophone only albums, as I was never big on the World Saxophone Quarter, but Hemphill calling all the shots brings a great grace to the proceedings.

CDs 4 & 5 of 5.

Nicely done Sir.  I think the sax only releases were some of my first Hemphill working backwards in my early Jazz days from Marty Ehrlich. With you on WSQ too.

I also enjoy that [Hemphill Black Saint / Soul Note] box, generally listen all in one shot. Never heard much of the WSQ, got the impression it wouldn't be to my taste.

I haven't had a haircut in 12 weeks. I could use some of whatever Jack has on his hair.

Luke Carlos O'Reilly - Living in the Now: I saw O'Reilly on organ with Red Holloway about 6 months before Holloway passed (with Teodross Avery on board as well).  O'Reilly and company remind me that I need to spend more time checking out the current Philly cats.

It's a finer, fun record that has a bounce befitting the time and place of it's participants and their contributions therein.

I got this one toward completing my collection of the great Mr. Five by Five, and he's wonderful, but I wonder if there was ever a more underrated player than Budd Johnson. His soprano on this record is wonderful.
