I think GBG is terrific -- but my favorite Clifford Jordan album is Night of the Mark VII, which also includes a tremendous version of "John Coltrane."

 

I don't know that one but I'm playing it now, thanks

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

UK CBS 2LP

Big fan of Glass Bead Games here. Not only is it a very good Clifford Jordan album - but also an excellent feature for Cedar Walton and Billy Higgins. I have the Strata-East double and also have it on the Clifford Jordan Mosaic set so will pass on the PP, fantastic as that no doubt is.

Yeah that’s another great record by mr. Jordan. What a band.

That a great ‘70’s jazz session as well!

Those nice shelves are looking fuller 

I've never quite got why 'Glass Bead Games' has the reputation it has.  I have tried to re-evaluate it so many times but to no avail. Maybe I need this edition rather than the Charly CD

I much prefer 'Clifford Jordan In The World'

Same here ! 

My favourite Cliff Jordan of the 70´s are those with Cedar Walton´s Magic Triangle, mostly the live recordings. That fantastic version of "St. Thomas" "I Should Care" etc... 

I have the GBG in the Mosaic Box of the Strata East material. Somehow, the late 60´s tracks with different musicians like Cecil Payne, Wynton Kelly, Kenny Dorham, Wilbur Ware let me think about some difficult periods for former bop and hardbop musicians who sure had seen better times in their lives. 

I mostly bought it for the "Rhythm X " since I heard this at a friends place when I was a teenager and it took me time until the Mosaic Release to get it for myself. So I bought it mostly for that album and the percussion stuff with Ed Blackwell.

Great selections! I haven't heard the Ammons LP you posted last but I'm sure it's a good one.

The Acoustic Sounds series version. I already had the Impulse digipack cd but Coltrane is my absolute here, even more than Mal. So I had to pick this one up. Unfortunately these releases are (to) expensive.

But the sound…. It’s indescribable! I ain’t no audiophile nor am I a religious/spiritual person but to hear Wise One like this almost is like a spiritual experience. It’s like Trane is playing right here in my room. Fantastic reissue.

I am with you on these two's respective merits, although GBG has been growing on me recently.

same. 

I think Night of the Mark 7 is "better" but GBG is a pretty fine set. It's also not "rare" by any stretch, though demand is pretty high I guess.

Around 1961 I purchased this reissue for $.79.

I don’t believe my parents had met yet, or at least not yet started dating. (They got married in ‘64, iirc.)

I paid $3.98 for the original LP, but the cover was worth it.

I have the German version as well, and it sounds very good. This is my favorite among Elvin's Blue Notes. 

Now playing:

A bit of a curiosity, which I am not pulling out that often.

Must spin it again, have not listened to it for long time.

There are also great live versions of Dex with Woody Shaw and Slide Hampton on the mega proiect "CBS All Stars live at Montreux". Especially Woody´s "Moontrane" and Dexters "Fried Bananas"....

We clearly have a range of generations on this board!

In 1961 I gained a degree, had four different girlfriends and went to a concert that starred the Jazz Messengers and the Thelonious Monk Quartet!
