Haha the language barrier! Love that. Sometimes it’s hard for us non-native Englishmen to understand what people are talking about 😉 Now if @HutchFan actually wrote a book about his favorite albums I’d buy it in a heartbeat. For now his blogs will do

It’s really a shame that Chad leaves the full Impulse! catalogue untouched for the fact that he’s not into the more adventurous kind of jazz. The new list struck me with absolute boredom.

Yeah that definitely works out great. I thought he was his younger. Never liked his playing. Sounds like a Eric Dolphy copycat to me. Anyway, what I like about the extra stuff on Africa/Brass is that every extra song and take is so much worth it. It should have been released all in once, at least with The Damned Don’t Cry and The Song of the Underground Railroad.

For me they have always belonged to my favorite Coltrane records. But there’s a lot of records by Trane that I count among my favorites. I fell in love with both of these the first time that I heard them. I remember the title song of Ole made a huge and lasting impression on me with that eastern influenced modal feel.

I never thought about the common name. Thanks for making me aware of it

The Mal is a definite buy for me. The Cannonballs maybe. That was a great period with great bands. The 1972 contains some of the Black Messiah material without the annoying singer/guitar player. Definitely interested. Also in doubt about the Art Tatum box. Like Chuck also mentioned: I do have a lot Tatum and not sure these will anything really new. Sampling first.

Yeah that’s an excellent record. Mal toured with Andrew Cyrille (and Workman) quite a few times but the only official record with both is the Soul Eyes album from 1997. Plus the one you mentioned of course. Check out minute 8:38, always makes me smile: This whole documentary by Tom Overberghe is lovely by the way but has been mentioned quiet a few times here of course.

I agree on that. Part from that I am so in! But I don't think that surprises anybody. The band with Lacy, Workman and Cyrille was magic.

with Baikida Carroll, Roberto Miranda and Pharoeen AkLaff

Yeah that one is awesome as well.

With Reggie Workman and Ed Blackwell

Charles Brackeen with Charlie Haden, Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell.

For some reason the Village Vanguard stuff never really spoke to me. Hard to tell why as I love Newk, like this period and most other people are so damn enthustiac about it. So I decided to stream them once again but still no 'click' here. Won't give up on them yet though. 🤔

I have all the patience in the world but it might be good for the guys at Nimbus to remain silent until they could actually ship them 😁

Great line up, great compositional choices. Looking forward to it. Hope the sonics will be better than on the bootlegged one.

It is. Love the compositions they picked.

Marion Brown playing with Stanley Cowell, Sirone and Rashied Ali…

Nice. Definitely interested and glad I did not go for the bootleg. I never but bootlegs and hardly own an unauthorized release but must admit I fell for the Alice Coltrane Berkeley Community Theatre release and ordere a copy from fnac.fr. I have a feeling they are not going to deliver as planned shipping time is somewhere in april... and it's not in print. Its an amazing record that deserves an official release.
