Got a very generous family in law and a less generous but very sweet own family. December the 25th was my birthday and that means money for me to spend in any way I want. Without the interference of my bossy wife.... who I love very much but has no musical taste. I think I have spend the money quite well. Quite a lot of trouble with the postal companies so most of them arrive pretty late. These week I received these, all on vinyl:

Most of it is new and sealed. The two Nimbus' releases are on Outernational, that do a pretty great job releasing Tapscott's work. The Rivers is of course a Tone Poet and Tolliver is on Pure Pleasure, the British label that does a really great job remastering and releasing the Strata East legacy.

Well I managed to find me a copy after all! Contacted a Discogs seller I order a lot from. He did not had it in his marketplace but I asked him anyway. And surprise, surprise: he did had one last copy! I am a very lucky man

Looking back now, my wife and I seriously doubt if we did not have Covid already. Last year we were skiing in Austria at the end of February. On that moment little was known about the virus and the first case in The Netherlands had yet to come up. But it was already in Italy those days. There were no rules yet, no masks and no lockdown.
A few days after our return we both got sick: sore throat, lots of coughing and a fever. The coughs were pretty heavy and I was really gasping for air sometimes. The only people we visited directly after our return were my parents. They also got sick a few days after with the same symptoms. It took them a week or so to recover.
it might as well been the flu but who knows.... I’ll take the vaccine anyway. Time to kill this virus for once and for all.

Wishing all you guys strength to defeat this awful disease!

Looks interesting! Great pianist, great band

I would expect that that 32 Jazz CD reissue in 1997 was legit. Unless that had something to do with Muse having released it under Chick Corea's name as "Bliss" without proper clearance (thought I read that somewhere), and 32 Jazz put it out as part of their Muse rights purchase. Really interesting album, regardless. And a chance to hear John Gilmore (and Corea, for that matter) in a very different setting.
I think I heard Pete LaRoca sued Muse for releasing that under Coreas name and with success. I assumed that 32 jazz indeed reissued it from their rights on the Muse catalog.

Pete La Roca’s ‘Turkish Woman at a Bath’
I know this has been released on cd but as far as I know never in a proper (or legit) way or did it? Anyway it’s up for release in March:

not a lot of details yet but Tokuma mostly does a fine job in remastering. It has my interest.

My wife and I now work for the same couple and they want to get together for dinner and the problem is we are not interested in going out anywhere and lingering for 60 or 90 minutes. We might consider hosting them for dinner and maybe sharing the table (as opposed to TV trays and social distancing in the living room.
I am not sure if he gets our concern. He did get it last month maybe he figured he's got absolute immunity. But I don't think she had it. Maybe if they both did we'd share a table with them, just not in a public setting.
Since we live 3 + hours apart its all theoretical unless they commit to driving up here from south Florida.
Is it really unacceptable to them if you’d just say: we rather do not take any risk and are not interested in having a dinner?

What a loss. One of the greatest on Tuba. He’s on so many classic albums.RIP

Another weekly update from me
Were still pretty much stuck in 1971... The early '70's were really very productive years for Mal, recording around 25 leader dates in only 3 years time. And though not every album was equally good, there are some real masterpieces among them both known as more obscure.
In this week's batch we've got a couple of those more known classics (Black Glory, Mal Waldron Plays the Blues), much in demand but hard to get classics (The Call), obscure masterpieces (Number Nineteen), his first vocal encounter since his breakdown as a co-leader (One For Lady) and one of his best solo outings: The Opening. And of course his first and last encounter with the great Gary Peacock who passed away only last year
With a few exceptions, the quality of his work in this period was very high. He really was at one of his creative peaks. Hope you guys and do not hesitate to reply, discuss or correct my writings!

I am afraid she’s not. Look at the nose guys, it’s definitely not her.

Fair enough, different strokes for different folks then .... it`s not about missing intensity - but obviously my expectations were "sky high" .... btw to experience Clifford Jordan`s capabilities don`t hesitate to grab any recording with + Cedar Walton Trio ....
Love the Night of the Mark VII albums but I am less fond of the On Stage albums.

Mal Waldron mostly succeeded to bring out the best in his "co-workers" .... not here, I`m afraid ....
You’re probably not surprised but I do not agree with that at all. For me it contains some of Clifford Jordan’s most intense and best playing on record. The title track is a killer. One of my favorite Waldron records. Funny how two people could experience a record so differently.

this is the one I immediately thought of. I bought it blindly, excited by the personnel. Some of my favorite artists all together playing Trane repertoire. But when I gave it a spin I could not be more disappointed. This really is a very average bop date, nothing more than that. None of the musicians sound truly inspired. -
That is sad news. Great piano player. Love his playing with Noah Howard and Frank Wright. And of course with Lacy. Rest In Peace mr Few.

I hope you find a copy Pim
I have a bit of a feeling it has something to do with the Brexit, ambiguity around new shipping rules but perhaps I am too suspicious. I would understand though.
-
Another email helped. Item is unfortunately not avaible
that was probably my last chance for now... but if somebody knows any options, I would love to know of course!
amazon Australia does not ship to the Netherlands unfortunately. And Clifford’s option is a bit too expansive as almost everything from the US is taxed by import customs. But thanks anyway guys! -

You got the last one, apparently.
Honest Jon's is a trustworthy seller aren't they? Because ever since my payment they do not give any response nor a shipping confirmation....
-
Yeah I am not going to replace or buy duplicates. I was tempted for a moment by Passing Ships as it’s one of my favorite jazz records, but it’s too expensive. But the big advantage of being a relatively young jazz lover is that their are still lots of records to buy as my collection is only just beginning to take shape
Not sure if I will buy any of the planned releases of this year. Only one I initially doubted about was Katanga by Curtis Amy. But I think I will get me the Mosaic Select which will probably cost the same.
-
Dexter Gordon’s ‘One Flight Up’ and Andrew Hill’s Passing Ships are up for February. The Hill a double LP.

Even those other records he did in the 70s on BN: Waiting Game, Knucklebean, The View From the Inside - none of them got a second domestic pressing until that Mosaic Select...and that didn't come until '07.
Yup, still looking for that Mosaic for a reasonable price...

Yes, I agree. It's hard (for me!) to justify buying Oblique a second time when there are so many other new things out there to discover. ... OTOH, I think it's one of Hutcherson's best records.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Today was my first spin and it’s very, very good indeed. I like it even better than ‘Happenings’ which is also great. Great interplay between Hutcherson and Hancock, and I was also amazed by the excellent bass playing by Albert Stinson. Did not know him very well.

Very tempting!!!
You as our one and only Hutchfan should buy it without hesitation
have to say I bought my TP also because I did not own the music yet. They say ‘Passing Ships’ by Andrew Hill will be among the 2021 releases but I dont think I am going to get it because I already have the Conaisseur edition. And for a replacement of something I already have they really are too expensive. Plus there’s so much music out there that I want to explore.

There does not seam to be a Byard Lancaster topic yet. At least not one that is just dedicated to the guy. I think he is one of the most fascinating reed players of his time.
Up til now I know 'It's Not Up To Us' and his concert at Macalester college. I also recently bought the Sounds of Liberation LP and Doug Hammond's Spaces. My question to you guys is:
Where should I go next? Both as a leader or a sideman.
