I love the Chet/Freeman stuff.

More Elmo!

this mornings playlist.

Yeah I know he is but I am talking about leader dates. Let Em Roll is a fine date but not worth the Tone Poet price to me.

Okay different strokes for different or what’s that saying? anyway this is the one that is getting reissued: https://www.discogs.com/master/292892-Chet-Baker-Sings-And-Plays-With-Bud-Shank-Russ-Freeman-And-Strings

Sorry Jim I don’t understand what you mean, probably the language barrier. That’s a different record isn’t it?

Nah and no Hutch as well. They said Spiral, Medina and Total Eclipse were selected….. I still miss my favorite Morgan’s as well in both series: Tom Cat, The Gigolo, The Procastrinator and the Last Album.

They asked them all individually?

New list is out there: https://www.bluenote.com/tone-poet-vinyl-reissue-series-2023-line-up/ Will definitely get: Andrew Hill - Dance with Death Freddie Hubbard - Blue Spirits Sonny Clark Trio Jackie McLean - Demon's Dance I might get: The Tyners, the Mobley and the Carmell Jones I really don't understand why they selected this record by Chet Baker. I love this period by Chet but this ain't a very interesting date. Plus there was more interesting music released on that Pacific Jazz label, by Chet himself and also by others. I wish they did Bud Shanks On Tenor....

original pressing in mint condition…. Haha not of course. Lovely playing by Shihab but Palle Mikkelborg also really shines on this one. Remains a very interesting document from the Danish jazz scene.

Oh my, bop doesn’t get much better than this

You're only well integrated as a Dutchman when you complain about the weather Niko, so please do so. The weather is really shitty here for weeks now and the forecasts ain't looking good.... Rain, wind, 9 degrees celsius.... typical Dutch winter. That's a great album I only recently discovered!

more Don Byas

Oh boy poor him….. Now spinning: another great Sam Rivers live record.

Why didn’t Don Byas sign up with Verve or a label like that? I am not familiar with his life. Was it personal problems?

How’s that Jimmy Woode? Never heard him as a leader but I love his bass playing with Mal Waldron.

Yeah me too. Remember Fontella Bass vocals on theme de yo-yo

I think you will like it

Sam Rivers’ Impulse! output is amazing. Especially the group with Cecil McBee and Barry Altschul.
