Good .... for me "Jumpin' In" was the finest hour of Steve Coleman (and most likely the strongest Dave Holland group release on ECM) ....

Jumpin' In was my long-time favorite Dave Holland from the 80s -- until I heard Seeds of Time for the first time (only just earlier this year).  

Both are really good.    But -- push comes to shove -- I'd put Seeds at the top of the heap today.

Now listening to this LP:

Dave Holland Quintet - Seeds of Time (ECM, 1985)
Badass.  The whole contrapuntal thing is so cool.  New Orleans, Mingus, Braxton. It's all in there.

 

Looking at discogs, I see that there are two different versions of this album sleeve.  I wonder why.

A question of permissions to use the art in different countries, maybe?  Who knows.

Not relevant to the (terrific) music, of course.  But us music nerds, we notice these things.     

 

I played my copy for the first time in ages recently and noticed the cover variation too. I prefer the European cover which is a shame as my copy is the US one. Off hand I can't think of other such ECM variants but I've not looked...yet 😀

Wanted to wait first to see if this one would be selected for the Acoustic Sounds Series but don’t have that much patience. All those releases get postponed endlessly. This 1972 Japanese release sounds amazing.

I got that Verve album Wynton with Wes in the late 70´s and since I loved Wes´s guitar I tried to buy what I could find. This one and the one with Miles´ "Rhythm Section + Johnny Griffin" (Full House or so ?) were my favourites and still are. 
The Bud Powell on Verve I had as a double LP with a brown cover and painting on it I think.

Oh yes the album with Johnny Griffin (Full House) is just as great as this one. Wes and Wynton is a killer combination. About the Powell: I never got why Powells Verve stuff are generally hold in lower regard than the stuff on Blue Note. Especially this album (Jazz Giant) is among the best Bud I know.

Well, the question if Powell´s Verve stuff ist hold in lower regard thant the stuff on BlueNote........
I think it´s from the listener´s point of view or a question of taste. 
I really think there are many who like the Verve more and maybe would say if I could keep only one Bud Powell Album it might be "Jazz Giant". 
The difference is that the Verve albums is more focused on the piano. There is no solo space for the drums and the bass and having Ray Brown and Max Roach one could have done more with it, not only a supporting role. 
That´s a question of taste or a question what you prefer. Many music lovers and also students who want to learn or transcribe Bud´s solos are interested only in HIM, and don´t even remark that it is or should be a trio record. 
In my case, or from my point of view or my aproach to listening, it´s a loss if you have THE Max Roach and don´t really HEAR him, or have a Ray Brown who was the greatest soloist on bass (having "One Bass Hit" in mind, Brown with Gillespie´s Big Band !!!!) and you don´t hear him better, and I will miss something. 
In my case the first Bud I heard was with Bird and Fats and Art Blakey and you hear the whole thing, you hear when Bud starts a solo he might pick up some phrase or idea from the fellow soloists and build up on that. 
That´s why I like the BN albums more, it´s more the guys playing together. 

About Sonny Stitt´s album: Yes his MUSE albums are very nice. He is one of my favourites from the first minute on, my first album was that blue Prestige album from 1949 with those strange angry birds on the cover, and by the way it also had Bud and Max Roach, so this is an album I enjoy more than the Verve trio albums. 
Sad story with Stitt, with Dexter, same thing. In the 70´s or early 80´s when I saw them live, you still could hear their greatness and they were living legends, but both destroyed and dumb in their heads due to alcool....just a tragedy....
