And now

I really like that record.  Reunions often don't work nearly as well as the original bands.  I think this one works great!

Yes, it's a very fine album, successfully looking backwards and forwards at the same time. Such great players

Now on my first listen to this new arrival, disc.1

Excellent afro Cuban post bop record from the mid-70s, with everyone from Ronnie Cuber to Jerry Gonzalez on it.

I've been wondering with that one for a while, is it any good? Thomas and Musson seem an interesting combination

I enjoyed it. Pat Thomas really sounds like he does in person. Musson is strong. Its really nicely recorded too, so it feels very “live”. It’s available to stream if you want a taster.

I’m now on:

Takeo Moriyama Quartet, with Shigeharu Mukai - Hush-A-Bye (1978)
 

Coltrane worship, mostly, but strongly done. Itabashi Fumio’s very good on this. Not sure why Mukai Shigeharu gets top billing.

Diddy Galippy The Sesjun Radio Shows vol. 1

Gifted, from a friend.

Totally good-great band. Mickey Roker had this gig for a good long while, IIRCm and he is on it from jump.

It's a club band, really, and a really good one. But Dizzy...I won't say he coasts, but his "routine" is pretty predictable. But still, very tight presentation, very much worth a set or two with in a club, no reason to not spend the whole night, actually, a few drinks, some laughs with friends, and good music to accompany it. Have a meal before the club, though, something to soak up the alcohol.

BFT 210. Thanks to @tkeith for the ID and @Pim for putting it on the BFT in the first place. Great to be reminded that I had it!
