Vastly superior remake compared to the original on 'Infinity Is'

1 – Excellent cut, great swing and energy, no guesses. 2 – Another very nice cut, positive funk factor! Julius Hemphill with Abdul Wadud? 3 – I hope they put him out of his pain soon. No thanks. AEC? 4 – Back in the groove. Classic stuff. 5 – Now I like this a lot, where #3 annoyed me. Dewey Redman? 6 – Way better than #3, worse than #5 to me. It’s OK, grows old to me. Three free cuts out of six total so far? Dan Gould will not be amused! 7 - Love this, a cut that gets past my head to my soul. Can’t wait for reveal, and sure hope I have it on the shelves somewhere (or if not, that I can remedy it soon). Master players. 8 – My wife was very fond of Bosco cartoons as a child, but this one is not for me. 9 – Also not for me. World music, I guess. 10 – Get on the good foot! Plays great in the background, smooth as can be. 11 – Cut #4 from this, much better known from the soundtrack of a movie I’ve never seen. I’ve never really connected with this singer. What a varied BFT, thanks! 7 is sublime, 2, 4 and 5 of definite interest. 1 and 10 also winners in my book.

Actually four more (Groovin', Comin' On, Cool Burnin', Boppin'), all five condensed onto three splendid Prestige CD's (Lonely Star, Stairway to the Stars, On A Misty Night) and the whole Roulette thing is a mystery.

Give me Sid Barrett Pink Floyd, and especially give me pre-Lamb Peter Gabriel Genesis. Rush does nothing for me. THIS is the album I keep coming back to 50+ years later:

And he was right, but I would have bought them.

They actually had four albums. Their first, 'Neptune', came out on Cobblestone, then 'In My Youth', 'Rebirth', and 'Motherland' followed on Muse after Cobblestone reverted to Muse. I agree that 'Rebirth' is the pick, but all are good albums, and only 'In My Youth' saw CD issue. These albums would have made a nice Mosaic Select back in the day.

Very good album (Joe Bonner is a big plus) which AFAIK never received CD reissue. I'll go for the download in the absence of a CD reissue.

2026 R&R HoF nominations are posted. Not in: Paul Revere & Raiders. In: Mariah Carey. Talk about unclear on the concept...

I own a lot of these, and have the Red Holloway on order. Nice series.

+1, fascinating album.

I'm a big fan of both her early stuff and her very different 70's recordings. I never put together that she and Roy were siblings!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm in for the Brooklyn Academy and especially the 1985 Montreux (magic happened there on a regular basis) CD's. Hesitant on the CD with Monty Alexander, seems like both pianists would have to compromise their styles to possibly mesh.

Loving this!
