Nice. Glad to hear it was well received. Been diving into some Tyner lately and didn't realize that Asante was held for 4 years before being released, and released right around the time of Trident and his other Milestones. No idea if Asante was well received either but listening to it from the perspective of it being from 1970 is kind of a shock, at least to me, and a good one at that.

Two minutes' hate. It's got to work bc so many orgs make use of it.

Tyner's Trident Listening to this among other Tyner albums tonight and wondering how this album was received at the time of release? It doesn't sound like it would be run of the mill but I don't recall hearing other music from around the same time that sounds like this.

Winnipeg 70

Glad to finally get to this. Hate I missed last month's all together. 1. Sounds Hancock-ish with that Headhunters style break beat. No doubt this has been sampled. Vocals start and I'm convinced I've heard this before. God made me funky! It is the Headhunters. I love this tune and the album it's from. Sweet stuff. 2. Hey Jude...mixed with some electronic wizardry. Interesting. No guesses. 3. Lovely congas in the intro. Familiar melody too. The horns sound great together. 4. Sun Ra-ish intro for a few seconds. Good flow from the MC. Sounds like 90s hip hop for sure but no guesses. I don't recognize this voice. 5. More great congas. Restrained production as well. Rhythm comes in and makes me think this is from this century even though the vocal cadence is old school. No guesses but intrigued. 6. B3 player who goes for the bass lines, always welcomed. Nice song. 7. This sounds like 80s Miles at least when it starts. But it's not and I don't recognize the horn player at the moment. Those synths though.... 8. Left field opening. No idea who this is... 9. The Godfather himself. Good God!!! Thanks for the BFT. Good stuff and some intriguing sounds.

Awesome set man. I need to go back and finish it up, as well as track these down via Bandcamp. Thanks for doing this and I hope you'll do another although I understand it can be time consuming.

Coming back around for the reveal. All songs I'm not familiar with, but enjoyed listening to. Thanks again.

Finally got some time: 1. Bass is roaring and this is a good groove. Sounds like something Tenderlonious was influenced by actually. Trumpet sounds like Freddie a little bit. I like this song quite a bit. No idea who to guess though. 2. Love that intro. Feel like I know this drummer but can't name them. Pianist is familiar too, Bobby Timmons? 3. Fucking lovely. Would love to see a band like this live. Reminds me of Le Rex but I don't think it's them. 4. Another winner. No idea who but the sax player is going wild. Drummer is killing it too, and the vibes solo is right nasty. 5. Thought this was going to be all solo but those drums came in and set it off. Bass solo is tight. Whole song is nice. 6. Loving this one too. Intro groove is ridiculous and the whole song is excellent. Billy Bang? 7. Sounds like a 70s tune. There's some cheese but the bass line saves it. Drummer does some carrying too. No guesses. 8. Interesting intro. Notice the poor recording quality but that's not keeping me from hearing some good stuff. 9. A favorite so far. Whole thing is glorious. Sounds almost like it's live in places. 10. This is familiar and I wonder if I have it or where I've heard it. Of course, I have no idea who to guess. The pianist's facility is impressive. Is it Melford? 11. Helluva rhythmic build up and quite a ride on the way there. This is wild as hell. Will love to see who this is. Ok, that bass line has been sampled... 12. Sounds like Sanders. If it's not him, someone has drawn near complete inspiration from him. Im not sure of the song though. I love it. Unfortunately I can't finish the rest. I'll have to come back and revisit. Stunningly good BFT. Thanks for putting this together!

Well, I'm excited for the season. Glad it's finally here.

Love to see so many recs coming in this thread. Lots to explore for sure.

Butthole surfing of jazz lol. A buddy of mine calls Chet Baker this.

There's a lot to like there. Especially dug that bass solo. Ventured out and found another live show by this quintet:

Thanks. Will check this out

Agreed. And the Columbia Legacy 2CD set is essential. The alternate take of (Fight) Apartheid is crucial.

Speaking of Komeda, that Okraglak vendor also spoke glowingly of this album, saying that it's a masterpiece I haven't been able to listen and verify but he piqued my interest. The songs here are all Komeda's, played in solo piano with some electronics. That's a familiar name, but as I scrolled through I didn't see anything I've heard before.
