According to the NPR article, Ward is making a guest appearance. I don’t think he’s on all of the tracks. Here’s a first sample It sounds very good

It really is new unreleased stuff….. oh boy I really need to get this https://johncoltrane.lnk.to/LiveInSeattlePR https://www.npr.org/2021/08/26/1031013271/john-coltranes-masterpiece-breathes-new-life-with-a-love-supreme-live-in-seattle?t=1629969077178

That mosaic is amazing!

I’ve pre-ordered that one. From the samples I could say: it’s outstanding!

So do I!

That record is early ‘50’s. This ones end of the 80’s. I am guessing Joe Pass on guitar, NHØP on bass and Martin Drew on drums something like that?

Mmm okay. I suppose those are the titles that already have been released, both officially as unofficially?

Well can’t say I like everything he did in the ‘70’s but he is easily forgiven. But I could easily recommend every single record he made in the 60’s. And Patterns is among his best. Cowell is kicking ass on that album and the Workman Chambers duo is very, very solid.

I’ve got a feeling it is. Doesn’t ‘The John Coltrane Reference’ mention any other recorded Seattle concerts? Someone around here with that book?

Well I know that one bootleg but I doubt it’s that. Audio quality is so immensely bad I don’t think even the best engineer could make something out of it. And I don’t see Impulse! releasing such a product.

Oh yes you do! You won’t regret it.

Nah cd as well. I don’t see Dusty Groove as a shop that lists a recording that does not exist.

Oh boy what’s this? https://www.dustygroove.com/item/992329?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date completely new record or was this released as a bootleg before?

Patterns is an amazing record and yes the whole album is as good as the title track. It took me quite a while to obtain a copy. It’s pretty rare both in vinyl and cd. Still don’t understand why they did not select it for the Tone Poet series.

My favorite Stitt album besides ‘Tune Up’ and ‘Constellation’ is the session with Bud Powell and JJ Johnson. Also: Personal Appereance on Verve.

Well it’s always a wild guess with things like this isn’t it? Maybe the copycat issue has something to do with it. Maybe the fact that Dexter signed up with Blue Note?

No issues here with the Tone Poets as well. Got 5 of them and they all sound great. Same goes for the classic series: nice pressings without any issues.

Great to see Billy playing again. Haven’t heard anything about his situation since last incident.

That’s Art Pepper for suede. Such a distinctive sound. And Garland for sure at the piano. It’s with the Rhythm Section. Wow, trombone isn’t really my favorite instrument but this guy plays lovely. Is this JJ Johnson? I do like Johnson. Tune is It Never Entered My Mind. But the one At The Opera House with Getz is one where JJ does not play. Sounds ECMish. Don’t know the trumpeter. Definitely not Stanko nor Enrico Rava. Is it John Abercrombie on guitar? Not necessarily my kind of thing but definitely not bad. Tune is Angel Eyes. Lovely piano playing. Something in the Wynton Kelly/Red Garland tradition. It’s not them but don’t know who it is. Guitar has an America airy feel. Is that Bill Frisell? Don’t recognize any of the others. That’s Gil Evans. Cant say which album from the top of my head. Not a clue. It’s someone who could do a pretty good Monk impression and with excellent technique. No idea and don’t dare do make any guesses. I do know I like it. I’ve got this on CD for sure. That’s Kenny Garrett on alto sax. Got it: it’s from Geri Allen’s The Nurturer. Nice but I really don’t have a clue. Maybe some later work by Walt Dickerson? Don’t know but sounds like a typical Prestige/New Jazz/Jazzland/Riverside jam. Lovely playing but it has been done so many times. Oh boy I love this. Dolphy isn’t very hard to miss. Sounds like John Lewis on piano. Don’t know the album but I know these guys worked together muldtiple times. Need to get this ASAP! Could be Bill Frissel in musical style not but not in playing style. Don’t know. Lovely selections again. Thanks for another lovely BFT!

Miles should have had more vegetables.

Great selections Tom, much to my taste! I feel the same about Vandermark. Thanks!

Got my second Pfizer today 💪whole family is now vaccinated except my pregnant wife. For the reason she is pregnant but also because she already had Covid.

Japanese Mercury pressing. Love what Jimmy Heath is doing here. Same goes for Don. And Herbie… and Tootie. I just like this record a lot.

Thanks Tom! I will hold myself back and just wait for your reveal tomorrow
