    • Nice!  Thanks for the heads-up, @mjzee.     
    • Just noticed this new release at Dusty Groove: Trumpeter Jack Walrath is something of a secret hero in jazz – a player who's created amazing sounds for decades, both in his own groups and in lineups led by giants like Charles Mingus or Bobby Watson – but also an artist who's sometimes a bit under the radar, then pops up with an amazing record like this! Walrath is often at his best in a more open, freewheeling live setting – definitely the case in the way the Smalls Live series allows a key player to open up – often producing the kind of material that doesn't always get captured this well in the studio. And as with most Smalls sessions, the rest of the group is superb too – Abraham Burton on tenor, George Burton on piano, Boris Kozlov on bass, and Donald Edwards on drums – all stretching out on tracks that all hover nicely around the ten minute mark. Titles include "A Bite In Tunisia", "Roadkill", "Sacrifice", "Mood For Muhal", and "Left Turn On 86th Street"
    • I pulled the trigger and ordered.  The audio clips convinced me: very lively and involving music. At the time, I detailed why I would not be buying the JATP box - I found the concept and execution of the music to be boring and predictable.  As I mentioned at the time: I'm on the fence about this one.  The format (long blowing jams on uninteresting standards) bores me - I barely made it through the JATP '40's box.  All the usual suspects are here: Lady Be Good (2x), Indiana (2x), Idaho, Honeysuckle Rose, Tea For Two, Stomping' At The Savoy (3x).  Nat Hentoff famously said that jazz is the sound of surprise, and, boy, this ain't it. I was concerned that this Vanguard box would be a similar experience, but the audio clips convinced me otherwise.  We shall see!
    • Thanks for sharing that list, @ghost of miles.  It's always big fun to see what others put together.     Here are 25 more -- all released in 1974 -- that I would want to include on my list: Marion Brown – Sweet Earth Flying (Impulse) John Lee & Gerry Brown – Infinite Jones (Keytone); reissued as Bamboo Madness (Limetree) Maynard Ferguson – M.F. Horn 4 & 5: Live at Jimmy's (Columbia) Dudu Pukwana & Spear – In the Townships (Caroline) Don Patterson – These Are Soulful Days (Muse) Dave Liebman – Lookout Farm (ECM)  Duke Jordan – Flight to Denmark (SteepleChase) Charles Earland – Leaving This Planet (Prestige) Eric Kloss – Essence (Muse) The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe – A Spirit Speaks (Strata-East) Jackie Cain & Roy Kral – A Wilder Alias (CTI) Pat Martino – Consciousness (Muse) Teddy Wilson – Striding After Fats (Black Lion); reissued as Blues for Thomas Waller Hubert Laws – In the Beginning (CTI) Idris Muhammad – Power of Soul (Kudu) Dee Dee Bridgewater – Afro Blue (Trio) Willis Jackson – Headed and Gutted (Muse) The Ensemble Al-Salaam – The Sojourner (Strata-East) Kenny Drew Trio – Dark Beauty (SteepleChase) Astor Piazzolla – Libertango (Carosello) Oregon – Winter Light (Vanguard) Budd Johnson & Earl Hines – The Dirty Old Men (Black & Blue); reissued as Mr. Bechet Makaya Ntshoko – Makaya & the Tsotsis (Enja) Bobby Jones – Hill Country Suite (Enja) Harold Vick – Don't Look Back (Strata-East)
    • Same here.  Using iTunes, I also have the following recorded in 1974 that I like: Chet Baker - She Was Too Good To Me Dexter Gordon - The Apartment Don Sebesky - Giant Box Gary Burton & Steve Swallow - Hotel Hello Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - Carnegie Hall Concert Joe Pass - Live At Donte's Miles Davis - Dark Magus Pat Martino - Consciousness Paul Desmond - Pure Desmond Ralph Towner & Gary Burton - Matchbook Randy Weston - Carnival Sonny Rollins - The Cutting Edge (I track albums in iTunes by recording date; the Burning Ambulance list probably uses release date.)
