I never liked those BYG dates by Alan Silva en Dave Burrell. I do dig those Lowe dates which I both have. That stuff with Ali is some raw music. I see what Mark means with hype though I think this one was justified. I like Waduds music thinking off his work with Hemphill and Blythe as well. When I think about I think cello is a lovely instrument in jazz music. Calo Scott and Dierdre Murray come to mind.

Doesn't happen too often we don't like the same records Mark. This is really a favorite of mine. Thanks Clifford I was hoping for an answer by you. I know that record but it's long, very long ago I heard it for the last time. It was on my Ipod when I was in high school but forgot about it since then. I remember I liked it back than so will look it up on Spotify or somewhere else. Tyler is also on my to listen list though I never really connected to the ESP stuff. But theres more by him I saw on Discogs but it's all pretty rare. He worked a lot with Earl Cross, a trumpeter I like.

Now I keep spinning this one again and again. I really like it and glad I got to know it trough the board (would have probably noticed it trough Wadud's name if not but still). For me it's an accurate example of free music still being accesible for it's high emotional energy that's feelable trough all the tracks. I am also impressed by Hasaan al-Hut's drumming skills by the way. My question to all the board folks here that know this recording well: if you had to name one record that has a similar vibe/feeling and sound, what would that be?

And it’s not over yet it’s that one time a year when I am all alone for a full day. My wife’s in Italy for her job. My kids are having a sleepover at my parents. So it’s just me, jazz and Belgian craft beer this whole afternoon. I even bought Westvleteren for this occasion. Don’t get me wrong I love my wife and kids, they’re the very best thing in my life but I love that one afternoon of rest and just my own presence. You’re a young father as well you must know what I’m talking bout It’s now up to Frank and Elmo!

Regardless the cover art it’s an amazing record. I like both the original cover as the Tone Poet version

Ive got a lot of Petrucciani so I am pretty much satisfied but the rhythm section makes this an interesting one.

The Stinson thread made me want to listen to him again. I think his solo on My Joy is a perfect example of what he was capable of.

Preparing for that new Sam release with some of the best Mal trio music avaible

Sounds great Clifford. Love & Hate is such a beautiful piece of music.

Id say every single recording this group has made is essential but this one might be my favorite.

Ah that’s a shame they could have done more with it.

I believe they are all out there yet. Maybe DG is having difficulties obtaining a copy or something like that?

Very, very curious to all those dates! Please let us know what your findings are when you listened to them.

Definitely it’s very good.

Yeah I could see why. Fortunately we’re better fathers for our boys though 👍

Dollar bin Getz record. With Jimmy Raney and Duke Jordan. Beautiful stuff.

Last one for today. Amazing stuff…

last but not least… yeah this is the most essential from the whole bunch. It’s funky, bluesy, soulful very very nice.

Wow the bonus session Love Always is amazing. Unfortunately only one 15 minute track on a single sided LP but I like it a lot. The composition Love Always is credited to Jef Gilson here but I am very sure I know this composition from another record probably by another artist. I hate it when I just can’t think which one. Maybe you guys could help me out?
