Louis Armstrong and the All-Stars, "Satchmo 1950" Universal Japan UHQCD, 2021.

Same music as the April 1950 material on the very first Armstrong Mosaic set. Sure sounds good on this disc.

Teagarden, Bigard, Hines. . . this is one heavy-hitting group of All-Stars.

Kenny Burrell "Asphalt Canyon Suite" Verve/Universal Japan SHM-CD

This album keeps climbing high in my esteem. And the engineering is just right, as is the mastering on this new cd from Japan.
 

Now listening to this one again, the US cd this time.

This fascinates me. This is truly spiritual music. The organ and organ pedal sounds she produces are wonderful.

Alice Coltrane "Kirtan--Turiya Sings" Impulse cd.

John Law Quartet - Exploded On Impact (Slam, 1992)

R-2540165-1289547485.jpeg.jpg

Just finished this one: 

Together Alone by Joseph Jarman and Anthony Braxton (Delmark, 1972)

R-370964-1396706256-5820.jpeg.jpg

There are a lot of fun ideas on this one. It seems surprisingly ahead of itself for 1972 - closer in ideas terms at times to latter day AACM and adjacent artists likes Nicole Mitchell and Matana Roberts.

Thanks to @mjazzg, who I think first mentioned it (probably about a year ago!).

Glad to be of service (maybe). Sounds good! I should listen to it...

Ravi Coltrane and Sonny Fortune on the horns. The 32+ minute version of Doll of the Bride is fantastic. 

In my one live experience with the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine many years ago (around 1984), they played Doll of the Bride to close a set. It was utterly fantastic.

Together Alone by Joseph Jarman and Anthony Braxton (Delmark, 1972)

As a young guy shopping inside the Jazz Record Mart, a woman and a man walked into the store
with a large envelope kind of package. I was standing at the counter as the artwork was trying to be
released from the envelope and the woman kinda lost her grip on it and it almost went to the floor.
I was there to catch it and they both thanked me. I don't know who the woman was, but the man
was Braxton and the artwork was for that Together Alone album. It was my first time talking to him.

Shame they didn't keep the same art for the cd release.
