This has long been a favorite record of mine. Had it on LP originally.  Ted O'Reilly made a CD-R for me. Model liner notes by Don Brown who used to post here occasionally.

Inspired by a post on another forum, and remembering when I met Ravi Shankar, I ordered a used copy of this cd and am listening to it now. 

If authentic, my cd itself appears to be autographed by Ravi and Anoushka!

Interesting music. Nicely recorded.

Jaimie Branch – Fly Or Die (International Anthem, 2017)

Some bad rumours on social media tonight. Really hoping they're not true. This for me is the best record IA has released. Giving it a spin now.

Listened to this yesterday to hear some relatively early Horace Tapscott.

This is one of the very best Blue Note covers, IMO.  So many things to love about it.

In fact -- aside from the unremarkable Andrew!!! -- the design of Hill's BN album covers is consistently inspired. 

Just like Hill's music.

 

I love it too, but the most interesting Andrew Hill I ever heard was on Bobby Hutchersons album I don´t remember the title, maybe "Dialoque".... ? 
I would have liked to hear one thing that was on one Sam Rivers double LP from that paperbag-cover albums , it was Sam Rivers´ album and had the session by Rivers , which I later bought as something called "Extensions" or "Dimensions" without piano, with Julian Priester on it, very very fine, but what really impressed me then was the second LP where Andrew Hill was the leader. I had borrowed that double album from a friend and taped it on cassette, but I don´t have those cassettes anymore, which is natural. 
But I don´t know what Album it was, it must have been from about the same time, 60´s, and I think it had Bud Powell´s former drummer J.C. Moses on drums, a very fine drummer.

Next up:

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - In My Prime, Vol. 2 (Timeless, rec. 1977)
Solid/Ultra-Vybe reissue -- with two bonus cuts

 

This was my times, and this band was Blakey´s ticket back to top listing after some "lean years" that happened after the  1971/72  "Giants of Jazz" world tours . 
This two albums were advertised in the German Jazz Magazine "Jazz Podium" and then there was "In This Korner" and we all heard that great edition with Ponomarev, Watkins, Schnitter, Williams, Irving....., the messengers where back, like many other acoustic jazz greats. Wonderful memories.

Continuing my second time through this very interesting box set. Disc 5.

Nucleus & Ian Carr "Torrid Zone, The Vertigo Recordings 1970-1975"

Each disc in this set is an experience!

Oh yeah!  Dialogue is magnificent. 

And it's "almost" an Andrew Hill album -- as much as it's Hutcherson's -- since Hill contributed four of the album's six cuts.  (Joe Chambers composed the other two.)

Miles Davis "Bootleg Series Vol. 4" Sony Blu-Spec CD2 edition, disc 4

This is the full four nights of material that became the "Miles Davis at the Fillmore" 2 LP set. I've had the two LP set and cd editions since '72 or so and LOVE it. I like these four discs as well, but still love to listen to the original Miles/Teo creation.

...and this one, too.  Just in one of those moods.
