Many years ago, but I well remember seeing them: Rendell, Ross, Le Sage. Bassist I don't recall.

Good sound on this one, and some fine Prez:

Snap! I was just listening to this one. It’s got some of my favourite of his flute playing on. Lots of rock influence in the rhythm section's playing too, which I guess makes it a little different.

Looks good.

I saw J.C. Heard with Dizzy Gillespie Quartet in summer 1983. The personnel was Diz, Ed Cherry, Mike Howell and veteran drummer J.C. Heard. Dizzy had played and recorded with Heard as early as 1946 I think, so this was kind of a reunion. I remember the first tune was Manteca, really hot....

New Horizens by Sounds of Liberation (Dogtown, 1972). 

Inspired by the Byard Lancaster chat a few weeks back.

One of his and Khan Jamal's best. 

Sadly, not on the original vinyl (I'd recommend a stiff drink before checking that one on Discogs).

Certainly my favorite of the Murray albums done with a standard p/b/d quartet that I've heard (plenty I haven't heard).  I also really like "Shakill's Warrior" and some of the octet recordings.

I'd never heard of this one until this weekend. I've played it a couple of times since - this and the Live in New York duet with Mr. Wadud. It's really fantastic stuff.

Yep!

Hemphill did not make it out of the 20th Century. Most of his contemporaries did/have. Name recognition and marketplace visibility/viability being what it is, I hope/pray that his body of work is not slowly being forgotten, It's too substantial to let that happen.
