2026 Tone Poet schedule

[felser]

Reported yesterday in Syd Schwartz's Jazz and Coffee blog.  I'm out for all since I don't do vinyl and they don't do CD's (plus I already own all the titles except the Lawrence Marable and the Petrucciani/Hall/Shorter), but some interesting selections, along with some odd ones.  Note that 'Compulsion' is probably my favorite Andrew Hill album, even though it seems very overlooked:

I’ll definitely get the Hutcherson and Hill. Quite some are unknown to me but sound interesting: the Amy, Marable and Jackson. Some of the others I’ll have to spin again to make a decision and some I already have.
