Indeed. I saw the George Coleman Quartet live shortly after they had recorded this. Only that instead of Sam Jones, Ray Drummond was on bass.

Same here - but with Herbie Lewis on bass. As discussed in previous threads.

Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke (Muse, 1978)
Recorded in 1975 with Barry Harris, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins

Yeah.

Here a lesser known Mingus album: 

Recorded after the European tour of spring 1964. Byard had left the group temporarly, replaced by female pianist Jane Getz. Some backgroud info about her playing for a short period with Mingus see Gene Santoro´s Mingus bio "Myself when I´m real". 

Here this is really a very far out playing. Even more into "free" than with Dolphy in Europe. Fanscinating those tempo changes. 

Interesting also the changed names of the tunes: Faubles of Faubus is here "New Fables" (with the great John Handy sittin in), and Meditations on Integration is here "Meditations for a Pair of Wire Cutters". Here we have also Jane Getz soloing, very fine.

Always appreciate your memories  ....

Seeing you mentioned Dunlop, I should add that his drumming was really noticeable - it had a real bounce to it and was different. And you could hear it in the Free Trade Hall with its terrible acoustics, which means that it wasn't particularly loud. The first set at that concert had been by the Jazz Messengers with Morgan, Shorter and Timmons. Poor guys - they just couldn't be heard. Blakey's thunderous drumming in that hall drowned them out.

Now listening to today's entry on PLAYING FAVORITES:

Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet - Never Let It End (MPS, 1970)

 

[duaneiac]

Disc 1 of 2.  Includes a lot of false starts and incomplete takes, but it's all music by the usual Condon crowd.

Eddie Higgins Trio "Soulero" Collectables CD/Atlantic Records

Tubby Hayes "Return Visit" cd 4 from the complete Fontana recordings box set. Roland Kirk on board!

Sounds very good. But so does the Classic Records cd of the US Smash version ("Tubby's Back in Town")

Yes!  The whole band is terrific.  ... Over the last couple days, I've been knocked out by Heinz Sauer's tenor playing.

Ah, I need to buy that recent reissue.  As much as I hate rebuying music, Solo Piano Record is such a fine album that I need to have the expanded version.

Now playing: 

Charles Earland - The Almighty Burner: Although I usually stay away from compilations, I only have an organ summit with Earland and thought this would be a good pick at $3.  I was right.  It has tracks from 4 different albums, with 2 not seeing CD reissue and the other two out of print.  I see more Earland in my future.
