Listened to a reissue of this and more (2-LP set) last weekend. Nice, and apparently a key document of Russell's career (his first recorded document after his recovery).

I don´t have it, but it must be interesting, since the usual set list was almost always the same: Blue´n Boogie, Round Midnight, Night in Tunisia etc. 

Here there is more Monk compositions and "I Waited for You" was seldom played after the bop era. It´s a beautiful ballad. I think this record is hard to find....

Thanks for your comments.

Monks name isnt correct spelled ---> only 'u'.... and this on an official record.😬

The song on the record is "I'll Wait For You". Different song.

It’s weird to not have someone on your radar who is so much right up your alley. Glad I got to know this guy. This must be the most beautiful version of The Shadow Of Your Smile by miles 😍

I had a similar revelation when I discovered Ortega, courtesy of posts here. The Hat CD adds a fair bit to that LP if I remember correctly

Yeah I might pick that one up as well. The vinyl sounds amazing though. The sax is very intimate.

Ditto. Never had that particular Anthony Davis album.

It adds most of the tracks from the second Revelation LP. They removed two solo bass tracks, so if you're a fan of Chuck Domanico's playing on there it's worth tracking the original vinyl down. 

[clifford_thornton]

yes, have both of the Revelation albums filed and they are truly excellent.

Domanico's birthday was yesterday, as a matter of fact. He would have turned 81.

Horo had great albums. 
Especially Sun Ra.

Is this album the "Loadstar" by Max Roach ? 

I didn´t buy it but I think it must have been done when I first heard Max Roach live, it was the quartet that had Billy Harper, wasn´t it ? 
Roach, Bridgewater, Harper, Workman.

I think that was the best quartet. Later I heard it with Harper and Workman replaced by Odeon Pope and Calvin Hill. 
Also very good, but Calvin Hill had somehow such a "plastic sound" on the bass, sometimes that sounded a bit ugly. 
And Odeon Pope, ok, he is interesting, but his sound is a bit strange to me, more like a bassoon than the tenor sound I like most....

Yup it’s that one. All of their albums are great. I like the first with Billy and Reggie best as well.
