He's on that, too? You're right - it's a KILLER! Actually, looking at Jim R's list, I see that he's on those great Jimmy Heath albums and also Blue Mitchell's "Cup Bearers" - great stuff. Somehow I didn't realize that he was on all of those.

Yeah. That's a great album. I just recently discovered it myself. Some really nice Joe Farrell there, as well.

How 'bout Tony Williams' "Spring"?

I forgot to mention that he just played at Yoshi's last week in a show entitled "Tribute to Art Blakey". Here's the lineup and blurb from the website: Cedar Walton - piano Eddie Henderson - trumpet Bobby Watson - alto saxophone Curtis Fuller - trombone Kenny Washington - drums David Williams - bass Now this is a supergroup! Assembled exclusively for Yoshi's by Artistic Director Peter Williams. The group is paying tribute to the great drummer Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers groups. Blakey was one of the most influential and legendary drummers in jazz history. Blakey created one of the most exciting and distinctive bands in the history of jazz. Walton is best known for his work with Art Blakey and his numerous compositions for the Jazz Messengers, including "Bolivia," "Mosaic, and "Fantasy in D." Walton is considered one of the most influential jazz pianists and composers in jazz history. Walton and Fuller played with Blakey from 1961 - 1965 and Watson played with Blakey from 1977 -1981. Looking back over this, I'm not sure what I was thinking by NOT going.

Hey, Graypencil......you get around! B)

There's a group that he played with for a period of time that consistently put out great albums - "The Magic Triangle". They consisted of Clifford Jordan, Cedar, Sam Jones & Billy Higgins. So it's basically the same as the "Eastern Rebellion" albums, but with Jordan on tenor. Keep an eye out for: Night of the Mark 7 Firm Roots Highest Mountain On Stage, Vol. 1-3 I would also recommend Sam Jones' "Something In Common" which has been mentioned earlier, too.

Don't remember if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but the "Yo Miles!" sets are pretty great. Also, because there are only a few tunes and they are REALLY long, it won't eat into your allotment much.

I had to go with Adams. I'm a big fan. The way that Adams, Pullen and Richmond took up the "cause" with their quartet after Charles passed away had a lot to do with it, too. Some of my favorite music, and I was fortunate to have seen them a handful of times (not lucky enough to have seen Mingus himself, though).

Up, because I'm still LOVING this album. Definitely my favorite release of the year. The group is incredibly tight and grooving on all four disks........and the recording quality is fantastic! Especially for the early 60's. B)

I believe Carter was known to say "nukular" frequently. I'm sure we could find out for sure if we axed the right people. My latest peeve (though not exactly an abuse of the language) is the term, "at the end of the day". EVERYONE'S using it, all the time, and it's so tired.....already! Example: "We're pushing this legislation, because 'at the end of the day' it will create more jobs."

It's just been added to EMusic, too.

Seems like I just got #50 recently. I must be WAY down on the list.

They also seem to have acquired the Artemis label, which includes Warren Zevon, Graham Nash and Steve Earle among others. Still........none of this stuff is actually available to d/l yet.

Just listening to Disk 4 tonight. It's really whacked out. Very entertaining. Interesting textures and sounds from both the acoustic and electric instruments. Quite a bit different from the rest of the set, yet it fits.

I have to admit that I've had Hermeto's "Slaves Mass" on vinyl since it came out, and probably can count the times I've listened to it on one hand. I'll have to remedy that situation soon.

I was trying to download the entire internet last night and it seemed to take FOREVER!

"Live at Leeds" - DEFINITELY a l-o-u-d album.

Geeeeeeez. I almost forgot about THIS one!

Not exactly jazz, but what about the late, great band Morphine??

Excellent, FREE! I'll give it a shot: McCoy Bow-Tyner Oliver Land-of-10,000 Lake Oliver Half-Nelson Woody Rick-Shaw Max Roach Motel
