#6 is April in Paris but I don't have this recording or recognize the artists. The Thad Jones version (from The Magnificent...) is the one imprinted on my memory.

Unfortunately, that highly regarded release is oop and difficult to find. -

Thanks for posting this. -
I vaguely remember (from the old CD101.9 radio station in NYC) that Sadao Watanabe used to get played in smooth jazz circles in the '80s. That could be a factor behind the glut of '70s-'80s commercial titles cited.

AFAICT, "Japanese jazz" is really hot these days, right up there with "spiritual jazz". I follow the "Coming Soon" page at The Bastards, and that's often loaded with Japanese releases. As one of the biggest names, Sadao Watanabe may be riding that wave. His 3 albums with Charlie Mariano are the ones I most often listen to.

I'll have to refresh my memory. Drawback of downsizing and shrinking the stacks of books around the house.

The Britten, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Boris Chaikovsky discs therein. -
I got that set a few years ago and concur. This additional box must be outstanding, though I haven't purchased it because I own some of the individual discs (Gesualdo and De Wert, which are great and I definitely recommend). Of course there are many excellent alternatives for Gesualdo. I very much like the Kassiopeia Quintet on Globe.

I read the Parker biography Universal Tonality (by Cisco Bradley) a few years ago and don't recall many (if any) mentions of Parker playing with white "Downtown" artists. But I read it through interlibrary loan, my recollections can't be trusted, and I don't have it on hand to check. Just requested the book again, so by next week I'll be able to research that issue.

Couple of the many recent Futura/Marge reissues:

Yeah. I loved the box set on Confront, so am likely to get this. Only one piece is up on bandcamp at this time. Judging from that sample, sonics might not be audiophile quality (bass seems kind of high in the mix), but I'm almost always OK with tape sourced recordings.

Roger, no intent to be critical. 😊 I meant to say that Neil Ardley is the only name in my "BGO collection" that you hadn't mentioned in the earlier post.
