That makes three of us! Especially the ‘big-band’ version on the self titled Music Inc.

I was talking about the new live in Paris release Felser

Ah didnt knew that. Let’s just hope for the best

What bothers me more is the ridiculous price. 30 dollars on amazon and 38 euros in a Dutch music store. I’ll pass for now.

Oh boy, new Tolliver.... I am definitely in!

I saw that one too. But what is this: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/944626?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date

Thanks Jim!

Thanks guys, added all those albums on my ‘to listen’ list and gonna make a selection of what to buy soon

anyome familiar with this one? Killer group with Carter Jefferson, Charles Sullivan, Buster Williams and Tony Williams. But is it any good?

So any recommendations by fellow board members on his ‘70’s and ‘80’s output? I already own ‘Hannibal’, Children of the Fire. But there is also some more obscure stuff on labels like Denon and Baystate. Is it worth buying?

Both great ‘80’s Pharoah indeed!

He did make some more commercial sounding stuff. A bit too smooth to my taste too. But this record is from before that period.

Thanks! Sometimes seemingly golden groups don’t work in reality. Anymore opinions by others?

Anyone familiar with this one? Titled: Fantasia - Dedicated to Rashaan Roland Kirk. Looks promising with Pharoah Sanders on tenor sax, Slide Hampton on trombone, Reggie Workman on bass and Idris Muhammad on drums.... Now that is one nice line up but does the music actually make up for what this promises?

I think I am going to buy this. I do love the India Navigation album from this period. And Calvin Hill is a great bassist.

So what about the music? It definitely looks interesting and this was a nice period in Sanders' catalog. It was also much of a transitional phase. From the more loud free jazz influenced spiritual jazz to the calmer sometimes a bit too smooth for my taste kind of jazz. What's on this one?

Albert Heaths Kawaida on Mercury Japanese vinyl. with Jimmy Heath, Don Cherry, Herbie Hancock, Ed Blackwell....

Definitely a public domain label. Artwork looks nice in the sense that they use beautiful pictures. But I really prefer the original artwork. Sound is everything you expect from such a label: not extremely bad but also not great. And than there are the moral objections of course. I would definitely not buy this stuff anyway.

Nothing to add. All great recordings. Never thought it would happen but going to see them in March in Rotterdam!

It was a good day

First some: Then some: And finally:

Happy Birthday mr Golson! Saw him last year in the Bimhuis. What a wonderful person!

They are pretty good. Especially for that price. Nice artwork, good sound. But hey, I am no audiophile....

I always did months with a reed. If the fungus comes up, change it
