Excellent 1979 live date with superior repertoire. Highly recommended if you're into this sort of thing.

You have my full support for the coup.

And some prefer smart phone calculators to slide rules....

YMMV. I much prefer the Roques CD-era covers.

We are blessed to have lived through the 1980's-2000's golden era of Blue Note reissues, to have 95% of everything meaningful from the label made available to us, which, along with Fantasy doing the same for Prestige and Riverside, was a dream come true. Glad for any extra goodies David Weiss and the current BN regime can send our way, but it's a cherry on top of the sundae compared to what we already have.

I'd love to hear it some day.

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.

I also have been buying the Mack Avenue CD's, even though I own the Tolliver Mosaic Selects. If enough comes out on Mack Avenue, I would also look to sell the Selects. But I don't want to move on from the Selects with just downloads to replace them.

I saw Alex Foster with the Mingus Dynasty Group (Jack Walrath leading) back in, I think, the early 90's, and he was pretty great. He's never reached me on record the way he did live that night.

Same here. 'One Step Beyond' is the other one I know would be on my list of 2-3 favorites by him.
