Thought I'd bump this twelve-year-old thread because I've been wondering about one of Bobby Watson's early recordings on Roulette. Is anyone familiar with All Because of You (1978)? I really enjoy Bobby work with Blakey from around this time, so I was looking for some input as to whether I should investigate this LP too.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, crisp. I just ordered Michael Garrick's Mr. Smith's Apocalypse.

Yes indeed. Superb music from an overlooked Ducal period.

KD to Golden State?!?!?! Jeez, talk about the rich getting richer. ALL of the other free agent moves this off-season are -- as of this moment -- completely IRRELEVANT. I understand why KD did it. I understand that he wants a championship. But I still think it's a WEAK move. KD is supposed to be THE MAN! Does he really want to win it on the coattails of the team that just came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat him?!?!? Apparently, he does... Me too. That said, there was no way that the Hawks were going to be able to compete with the Cavs in the East -- regardless of which FAs they signed. Now, NO ONE is going to get by the Warriors -- including the Cavaliers.

LOL So true.

Milestones, just like you, I overlooked the Columbia recs for a long time. Now, I think they're WONDERFUL -- especially the LPs "Monk's Dream" and "Criss Cross." At some point several years ago, I went on Charlie Rouse bender. So I listened to the Columbia Monk recs with Rouse very carefully and came away loving them. Don't sleep on the Black Lions either. They're great too.

I have a duplicate CD of the MJQ's Lonely Woman. It's the "Atlantic Jazzlore" reissue with the cover that looks like this: PM me if interested. EDIT: No longer available.

Ugh. R.I.P.

I've gotten so much enjoyment from that set. I love those Bruckner & Brahms recordings. But I L-O-V-E Jochum's Beethoven! The LvB9 in that set is incredible.

Antonín Dvořák: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9 "From the New World" / John Barbirolli, Hallé Orchestra (EMI Phoenixa) Barbirolli brings something special to these warhorses. The dark, Wagnerian brass chorale that immediately precedes the "Goin' Home" section made my hair stand on end.

You're right!!!

Such beautiful music! Quintessential Brahms. I love that particular recording too.

Dayum! I'm jealous.

Well at least they picked a good record!

How about a Mosaic set that collects all of Harper's recordings for Denon -- including the two live Max Roach Quartet albums from Tokyo (also on Denon)??? THAT would be something I'd pay for.

paul -- If I remember correctly, the reason that record was made for Roulette was that Roulette had "loaned" Count Basie to Columbia, so Columbia could make First Time! The Count Meets the Duke. In return, Columbia "loaned" Ellington to Roulette, where he recorded two LP's worth of material with Armstrong's band: Together For The First Time and The Great Reunion. (Or something to that effect.) I wish they would have recorded Louis with Ellington's band -- instead of the other way around!

The tribute to Nat Cole, Night Lights, is tremendous.

I love ABM's way with Brahm's Ballades. Inspired by your post, I'm giving them a spin right now too.

Bon voyage, Chuck!

I just did a bit of poking around on the web, and it looks like Harper made six records with Roach's quartet: - Nommo (Japanese Victor) - Live in Japan, Vol. 1: Calvary (Denon) - Live in Japan, Vol. 2: Scott Free (Denon) - The Loadstar (Horo) - Live in Amsterdam (Baystate) - Confirmation (Fluid) I don't think ANY of these are available on CD -- which is too bad. At least they can be heard on YouTube. Far from ideal. But better than nothing.

FWIW, both of these are available now on emusic.com -- at least here in the U.S. -- along with Fledg'ling's Brotherhood of Breath reissues. I already own Morning Glory on vinyl. But I just might purchase the download for mobility's sake. Such a magnificent record! Like Roger, I'm not nearly as keen on Westering Home.

Cool photograph.
