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

Looks healthy and nutritious.

Well I like Berlin a lot but not for it’s record stores

I was in Berlin last week and spent a full afternoon visiting record stores. I attended 11 shops and walked 21 kilometers. Ended up with only one record: Nathan Davis’ Rules of Freedom which appeared to be a bootleg after all (why the hell would a record store sell illegal stuff?) glad I have a cd version too Pretty big disappointment. I had pretty high expectations with the enourmius amount of stores. Biggest disappointment was the much praised ‘Space Hall’ which wasn’t big at all, dark, silent and a lousy and small section of jazz records.

Oh yes I am so in! Exciting news guys
