What year was that and why were they trying to make it look like it was on Atlantic?

1962.  Some reissues have a different cover.

Well, not only that, but Laswell insists on milking his live recordings no matter what the quality - which, as you might've guessed - is not all that good.
Like usual, just click and listen for yourself.

I checked the track Meet Your Maker this morning. I dig Bill's sound and this one wasn't so bad...kind of sounds like Jane's Addiction playing 70's Miles. I'll have to listen to the rest at some point. 

WP/NP:

I absolutely love both of the Mars Williams albums on Corbett vs Dempsey. Excellent playing and fun to listen to. 

After this, quite a change in pace and style: 

Vol. 1...Going to George Coleman from Mars Williams was actually a little jarring. This sounded like easy listening jazz at first, but it gets better as it settles in. Walton, Sam Jones and Higgins actually make a great trio 🤔

Vol 2 with Bob Berg on tenor who I'm enjoying more than Coleman at the moment.

Robert Parker/Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo “Duke Ellington – Swing 1930 To 1938” cd

I found where I had placed about 18 of these “Digital Stereo” re-workings of classic earlier jazz and chose this one to listen to today. They are fun, some better to listen to than others, but the track choices are interesting.

It's an important document but it's also a great record-- despite it's very low-fi sound.

though I definitly am NOT an OP fan, this one I have spinned sometimes, because it is not so overwhelming, like let´s say "Night Train". OI think "We Get Requests" and "Nighttrain" I had heard on some of those houses of upper class who heared classical but had "hidden" one Peterson or Garner LP. 

But let´s say, there is a few occasion where I have "bock" to hear some pieces like this, maybe if I am tired and lazy and don´t want to thing primarly about music. 

The third one I like most, and got from Serena is "In Tune" with the Singers Unlimited. That´s also cool because it does not have this Peterson banging the whole 88 keys.....

I think this was it. Friends of my parents had a son who was more interested in Hi-Fi than in music, but he had this LP.

Cover nice.....well typical Peterson grin

There was no need for the AC unit nor fans last night–and two humans and one dog were very happy about that! A bit muggy this morning but nice!

Starting the day off with two albums from this two cd set, “Conception: the Gift of Love” and “Un Poco Loco,” both Columbia releases.

Duke Ellington “Newport 1958” Mosaic Records cd

This Mosaic Single release combines live material with mono studio material. Some wonderful music!

Some great Gonsalves!

The only Bob Berg I have in my collection actually. Any suggestions on other albums?

Believe the three volumes of Cedar Walton Quartet on SteepleChase recorded @ Montmartre Copenhagen in October 1977 are a worthy option....

[Dub Modal]

@rostasi I'm actually digging some of these tracks. I didn't read the write up about it but it appears to be a comp of (mostly?) previously issued live dates. The 2015 Stone Residency tracks with Ulmer are fantastic. Not a fan of the Buckethead track, and haven't gotten to the Frith yet either but overall those others were persuasive.

NP:

The addition of Curtis Fuller to the lineup brings some variation. Not my favorite trombonist but he does well enough here, and his presence on these tracks is substantial. If you're a Fuller fan, you'll dig this.

Seven Minds is the standout track IMO. Nice playing from Jones is a highlight.

Moved to Eastern Rebellion 4 which is interesting for the addition of Alfredo Armenteros on trumpet and David Williams on bass. 

NP:

This is a nice pairing with the first volume since it's that same quartet here, live in Bremen '76. I dig these guys live a little more than in a studio. Looks like it has only this Japanese CD as the official release, but I bet it's online somewhere.
