Joe Lovano - Tenor Time (Something Else Japan). Joe blowing on standards with a nice rhythm section.

Jim Anderson captured this session beautifully at Avatar Studios. I have no idea why Blue Note doesn't put this out in their Tone Poet LP series, as it would make an excellent choice

Didn't Blue Note merely license the Somethin' Else items?

Along with more material from the same sessions:

Hindsight is 20/20, but these "leftovers" are at least as tasty as the originals!

Pretty obscure. Never seen it, yet listen to it. Love who's on it.

Wish more Joe Pass and Jim Hall Pacific Jazz's, leader or sideman dates, were made available in the US. Only have one of each:

A bit cool and soggy. Going to a “protest” at noon in town, so interesting that this little town is hosting one.

Starting off with dsic 2 of Art Pepper “Geneva 1980” Omnivore cd. . . I really like the pianist on this date and other recent live Pepper releases, Milcho Leviev. Sound is okay here–he could be better heard but it’s not terrible.

I've been told that Somethin' Else is a subsidiary of Blue Note in Japan. The Tone Poet series has been used to release stuff from labels other than Blue Note like Capitol, Pacific Jazz, United Artists & Transition. I'm sure if they chose to release this as a Tone Poet LP, they could work something out with Somethn' Else.

I’ve been holding this in reserve for the right time and this morning seems right.

Charles Mingus “In Argentina: The Buenos Aires Concerts” Resonance Records 2 cd set, disc 1

I’m a Mingus nut so this was one of the most exciting release of the year for me.
