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.

The Marble record is a cult classic because of James Clay.

This might interest me as the CD copy I have (Japanese ) has pretty harsh sound, I'm not that picky but it was poor. I'll need to relisten. Elsewhere on this list Compulsion and Components are musts- amongst the very best of the 60's freer BN dates.

Oops, Marable, not Marble.

I had the Fresh Sound LP of the Marable and thought the sound was poor. If there is an improvement I might be interested.

Good stuff as always, but as always I already have the CDs.

On the one hand, Was is just taking all of Cuscuna's work and restamping it. On the other hand he's smart enough to know that he should just take all of Cuscuna's work and restamp it.
