JSngry Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 Don't miss him (as sideman and Co-Producer) on Barney McAll's Widening Circles from 1998 (not released until) 2006. His participation is selective in placement, but always maximally effective. And the rest of the record ain't bad at all! https://www.discogs.com/Barney-McAll-Widening-Circles/release/14841186 https://www.amazon.com/Widening-Circles-Barney-Mcall/dp/B000CIXHT6 https://barneymcall.com/recordings/widening-circles/ Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 You can listen to individual tracks - the entire album if I'm seeing right - here... https://barneymcalljazz.bandcamp.com/album/widening-circles Seems to be sold out (on CD) from this source, but I'm sure liking what all I'm hearing from the first few tracks I listened to most of.

JSngry Posted July 30, 2020 Author Report Posted July 30, 2020 Both Discogs & Amazon have copies for sale. Maybe it's just me, but this is maybe one of the more "stealth" Billydates? Me finding it was completely on accident (as the kids like to say). But it is a really good record. Quote
Pim Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 Thanks for noticing Jim! I love Harpers music so this one is on my wishlist now. Quote
felser Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 On it, thanks! This is another good "stealth" Billydate. I included a cut in a BFT a few years ago: https://www.discogs.com/Mark-Masters-Jazz-Orchestra-With-Billy-Harper-And-Jimmy-Knepper-Priestess/release/9176093 Quote

mjazzg Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 Agree about the Moncur which makes me think I should get 'Priestess' Quote

JSngry Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Posted July 31, 2020 Yep, and BH is on that one as well. Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted July 31, 2020 Report Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) By my count, Harper is on two (2) other Mark Masters albums too - separate tributes to Porgy & Bess, and Steely Dan. That’d then be a total of four (4) Mark Masters dates with Billy... ...unless there’s a 5th one I’m not aware of. (The only one I’m missing of the four, is the Steely Dan tribute project.)
