pretty damn good record with Billy Harper, Cecil Bridgewater and George Mraz. Klaus Weiss made some great records! Can’t say I really dig the artwork but that’s a matter of taste probably.

That’s an offer you can’t refuse. Great record, great pressing

Yeah I agree on that. That LP side long blues is the best part of the record. I’ve got the IPI vinyl version which is also excellent. You’ll probably like it

with Cecil Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Cecil McBee and Joe Chambers and Mtume.

Oh yes that’s a great recording. One of the more underexposed recordings by Shaw.

funky stuff!

with Roland Alexander, Charles Tolliver, Stanley Cowell and Andrew Cyrille.

Very, very cool! Congrats on bringing this out.

Looking forward to all of them. Ali is really one my favorite drummers. The last two records where I was pleasantly surprised by his company were Marion Browns Why Not and Jackie McLeans ‘Bout Soul. He always bring a certain energy to the music en even when he’s all over the place the structure and rhythm remains there.

this one is so incredibly good. You could easily picked it up from a used bin for 10 euros. I did anyway.

Such a great record. Hope it could be of help on your Waldron quest! I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy that Blood and Guts recording. It has the same energy as Number Nineteen.

Oh yes my mistake. I always mix those two up. They are both excellent bass players by the way.

another excellent one from these series. With Junior Cook on tenor sax, Woody Shaw on piano, Ronnie Matthews on piano, Stafford James on bass and of course Louis on drums.

More McLean from ‘the shelf’.

This one's getting a repress.

I now see that they did not include the second session on the Connaiseur cd... That's a very weird choice. It's very, very good.

Well with all European groups he recorded: Mal Waldron Trio (1966) Ursula (1969) Blood and Guts (1970) A Little Bit of Miles (1972). Of these Blood and Guts is the most essential. Thats such a great one. There are also a lot of albums with great European players on them. The ones I'd reccomend best are: Free at Last, 1969, with Isla Eckinger from Switzerland. The Call, 1971 with Eberhard Weber from Germany Black Glory, 1971 with Pierre Favre from France Hard Talk, 1974 with Manfred Schoof from Germany and again Isla Eckinger One Upmanship, 1977 with again Schoof No More Tears for Lady Day, 1988 with Paolo Carduso who is Brazilian born but lived in Germany From Dark into Light, 1994 with the excellent tenor saxophonist Nicolas Simion from Romania Misterioso from 1998 with again Nicolas Simion One More Time from 2002 with Jean Francois Jenny Clarke from France You might like to check out my blog on Mal Waldron: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2020/12/all-reviews-in-chronological-order.html

Ive been in a real Marion Brown mood last weeks so looking forward to this one.
