Very sorry to hear this! I know from own experience (a mother with serious mental health issues) how hard it is trying to help someone who’s struggling that way. i also know from experience that everybody will give ‘good advice’ from best intentions but that most of that advice is or not realistic or just not very helpful. And now I am going to do the same to you. So maybe it’s a little helpful and if not: just forget what I say. To me it really sounds you already know what the big problem is. Menopauze is one thing but that’s not something you can control. But your wifes job IS something within your circle of control. It really sounds like the job is killing your wife mentally. And than youre going to reach a point that you have to ask yourself: should I really continue with this job that is making me so unhappy or should I quit and find something that will give me energy and strength again. Now this comes from a guy who hasnt the slightest knowledge of your financial situation so forgive me if this just aint an opportunity. But if it is: i really think she should find another job, maybe something completely different. Those pills are just symptom suppression but the cause remains the same. Hope you will be careful with that kind of medication as I know from own experience (my mom again) that stuff is really unhealthy and risky. Forgive me if I didnt read well but youre wife is not seeing a psychiatrist yet? That might be of help as well, though it of course depends on the person she will be seeing. Some of them are good, some are of no use. Last but not least: you’re wife really needs time for herself. She has to find herself again in the better things of life. Picking up an old hobby is an idea, going for long walks in nature another and finally working out and eating healthy is essential. All these kind of things will not help instantly but do help a lot on the longer term and the absence of these things makes one unhappy and hard to relax. Part from this, I just want to wish you and youre wife the best. I sincerely hope she will get the right self insight to change the factors in her life that make her unhappy.

Any more people attending or shall I publish the reveal? I am going on holidays coming monday so might publish a few days earlier unless someone will give it a try.

Yeah I was kind of refering to his statement

I know one thing: the pianists mentioned are among my very favorite ones. Monk, Mal, Tapscott, Nichols and Andrew Hill: I love those guys. I personally do think Elmo Hope belongs in the list as well.

Already own all of it and unfortunately no vinyl release. Definitely a pass for me. Pity the guys at Mosaic don’t do unreleased or hard to obtain music anymore.

Thanks for your enthusiasm and kind response. Makes it really worth participating in this thing

Thanks! In that case I’ll pass.

https://www.dustygroove.com/item/120858?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date reissue is upcoming. But I am not aware of any Muse reissue program so wonder who’s going to bring this out.

No other guesses? 😊

Not Workman. Also not Beirach and Crispell…. The trio is not in that link.

Already owned the Mulligan but sent that one back cause it was heavily damaged. Found a good copy. This is some of my favorite West Coast stuff on record.

Fully agree! Simmons remains such a underrated figure. I’ve always loved the way he connected bop and free jazz and his warm voice. A very creative and original artist. I always wonder why for instance the Japanese reissue companies never issued such a record as Rumasuma. Glad I secured a vinyl copy last year.

None of their albums is bad. It’s just that with these names, you expect a little more. And you start listening with those high expectations and feel disappointed when it sounds like a solid but average bop date. The Cookers are a group that do make up high expectations though I don’t see a connection either.

Schwaller is on two dates by German drummer Klaus Weiss: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1979-klaus-weiss-quintet-on-tour.html? https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1978-klaus-weiss-quintet-childs-prayer.html? I agree he is an excellent saxophonist with a very strong and original sound.

Oh yes that's a full ID!

It's not....

Not Jay Hoggard either. No Hutch and nog Hoggard.... The remaining possible vibists in this style get smaller and smaller.... It's not him but there are defintely similarities.

Ladies and gentlemen. The new BFT is up and running: http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/ its summer for most of us so that’s the season I listen a little less jazz and be a little more outside. Anyway I made it a little shorter than usual for me (11 tracks this time) a wide variety in styles and mostly names not mentioned a lot here I am curious if people here like the choices…. Looking forward to your reactions.

I think it’s a great series that tend to get overlooked a little. They are going to reissue the Waldron/Wilen date as well

If I had to mention the best post 1970 straight ahead jazz session it would probably be this one…. On hideous silver vinyl ik the new Timeless reissue series. Sounds great btw

Same for me

pure pleasure reissues

alrrqdy had these on cd. But still wanted these vinyl reissues
