Well can’t say I like everything he did in the ‘70’s but he is easily forgiven. But I could easily recommend every single record he made in the 60’s. And Patterns is among his best. Cowell is kicking ass on that album and the Workman Chambers duo is very, very solid.

I’ve got a feeling it is. Doesn’t ‘The John Coltrane Reference’ mention any other recorded Seattle concerts? Someone around here with that book?

Well I know that one bootleg but I doubt it’s that. Audio quality is so immensely bad I don’t think even the best engineer could make something out of it. And I don’t see Impulse! releasing such a product.

Oh yes you do! You won’t regret it.

Nah cd as well. I don’t see Dusty Groove as a shop that lists a recording that does not exist.

Oh boy what’s this? https://www.dustygroove.com/item/992329?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date completely new record or was this released as a bootleg before?

Patterns is an amazing record and yes the whole album is as good as the title track. It took me quite a while to obtain a copy. It’s pretty rare both in vinyl and cd. Still don’t understand why they did not select it for the Tone Poet series.

My favorite Stitt album besides ‘Tune Up’ and ‘Constellation’ is the session with Bud Powell and JJ Johnson. Also: Personal Appereance on Verve.

Well it’s always a wild guess with things like this isn’t it? Maybe the copycat issue has something to do with it. Maybe the fact that Dexter signed up with Blue Note?

No issues here with the Tone Poets as well. Got 5 of them and they all sound great. Same goes for the classic series: nice pressings without any issues.

Great to see Billy playing again. Haven’t heard anything about his situation since last incident.

That’s Art Pepper for suede. Such a distinctive sound. And Garland for sure at the piano. It’s with the Rhythm Section. Wow, trombone isn’t really my favorite instrument but this guy plays lovely. Is this JJ Johnson? I do like Johnson. Tune is It Never Entered My Mind. But the one At The Opera House with Getz is one where JJ does not play. Sounds ECMish. Don’t know the trumpeter. Definitely not Stanko nor Enrico Rava. Is it John Abercrombie on guitar? Not necessarily my kind of thing but definitely not bad. Tune is Angel Eyes. Lovely piano playing. Something in the Wynton Kelly/Red Garland tradition. It’s not them but don’t know who it is. Guitar has an America airy feel. Is that Bill Frisell? Don’t recognize any of the others. That’s Gil Evans. Cant say which album from the top of my head. Not a clue. It’s someone who could do a pretty good Monk impression and with excellent technique. No idea and don’t dare do make any guesses. I do know I like it. I’ve got this on CD for sure. That’s Kenny Garrett on alto sax. Got it: it’s from Geri Allen’s The Nurturer. Nice but I really don’t have a clue. Maybe some later work by Walt Dickerson? Don’t know but sounds like a typical Prestige/New Jazz/Jazzland/Riverside jam. Lovely playing but it has been done so many times. Oh boy I love this. Dolphy isn’t very hard to miss. Sounds like John Lewis on piano. Don’t know the album but I know these guys worked together muldtiple times. Need to get this ASAP! Could be Bill Frissel in musical style not but not in playing style. Don’t know. Lovely selections again. Thanks for another lovely BFT!

Miles should have had more vegetables.

Great selections Tom, much to my taste! I feel the same about Vandermark. Thanks!

Got my second Pfizer today 💪whole family is now vaccinated except my pregnant wife. For the reason she is pregnant but also because she already had Covid.

Japanese Mercury pressing. Love what Jimmy Heath is doing here. Same goes for Don. And Herbie… and Tootie. I just like this record a lot.

Thanks Tom! I will hold myself back and just wait for your reveal tomorrow

Late but better late then never. I go in blind like I should and read as little as possible in the topic. So forgive me for saying the obvious or making horrible mistakes. 1. I. am no vocal jazz lover but this guy could sing. He sounds pleasant. Nice band. Can't say I recognize any of the players. Tenor sax player sounds like he was influenced by Joe Henderson but it's definitely not him. Great pick. 2. That sounds like a contrabass clarinet or something like that. Only guy I know who plays it is Anthony Braxton but this is not Braxton for sure. Maybe Hammiett Bluiett? But I don't think it is. Nice bluesy feel. 3. Bop in a new jacket? Or is it an old jacket? This is from Eddie Henderson's last record. Nice but he has made more exciting stuff. 4. No idea. Shirley Scott? I am not really into organs. Sax player sounds like one out of a dozen. This is track is a bit too smooth for me. 5. This is James Newton. I've heard it before but can't remember what track from what album it is. I love me some Newton. 6. Nice composition. Can't recognize any of the players. 7. No idea. 8. Sounds like a European band to me. Or perhaps Roswell Rudd on trombone? 9. Newk! Is this the band with Stanley Cowell on piano? It must be from the '70's. 10. I do not know a lot of flute players. Same goes for vibe players. Is the vibes player Steve Nelson? Nice track. 11. This is Tapscott for sure. One of his last released records. Recently ordered it. Fantastic music. I found this one pretty difficult. Great selections though thanks Tom

Thanks Clifford looking forward to it. Both the release as the pictures

Really? That would be so great. The sound of my bootleg version suck. Who make me really curious. Who is going the reissue it? Is it Pure Pleasure? Forgive me my voyeurism but I would really want to see some pictures of that collection!

That looks great HutchFan. I like the thing you’ve done with the shelfs. Only artist unknown to me is Claudio Roditi. I put on Interstellar Space, Albert Ayler and then the JCO and my wife immediately insisted I got my man cave You don’t have to expose them all on the wall

I do treasure them very much but that’s why I want to play them you could easily open up these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Listen-Record-Frame-White-Vinyl/dp/B0721496RM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=show+listen&qid=1627484865&sr=8-2 No the vinyl is also inside. Well at the back to prevent from ringwear.

Yeah I think it is but must admit that I have a soft spot for both Howard as Ali. It sounds exactly as what you may expect of those guys. Not a desert island disc but very nice music!

Yeah but it's a boot still waiting for Pure Pleasure to reissue it properly. The other stuff is legit or even original of course The record you mention is Noah Howards 'Live at the Village Vanguard' on Freedom records

This is now the wall in my ‘man-cave’ where I can listen to my records without being disturbed by anything or anyone… Are there more people who have framed some of their records. Some of the artwork really is art-work.
