Funnily enough I saw a blue label copy of that pressing in the racks here for not much £ and passed. Real curio. The MPS releases are quite common over here, either German, UK or French pressed.

clifford_thornton Posted March 21, 2021 Report Posted March 21, 2021 It was first released on SABA, which changed its name to MPS in 1968. I just checked and my copy is in fact the SABA issue. Quote

JSngry Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 No, a too-short double-breasted has never been hip. Now that red and green shit, that's hip. Hangs well. Donald Harrison knows sharp, though. Pretty , too. Quote

Terence Blanchard looks like a baby, I always had the impression he has a baby face. As much as I remember from their time with Blakey (I think I saw them with Art somewhere in the mid 80´s , Terence Blanchard played some very very fine, pretty trumpet, and Donald Harrison played very "abstract", sometimes quite atonal, a bit unusual for a band like the Messengers. Don´t misunderstand me, I am hip to free jazz and don´t need it only "smooth", but I remember Donald Harrison´s alto sounded strange in those surroundings. Quote
HutchFan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 James Newton - Water Mystery (Gramavision) Exquisite. and Elvin Jones featuring David Liebman - Earth Jones (Palo Alto Jazz) Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Chet Baker - "Chet Baker In New York" (Riverside/Craft Recordings). Recently released reissue from Craft Recordings, Concord's specialty label akin to Rhino in the 90's but a little more upscale. Nice cut done by Kevin Gray. Nice jacket too. Craft recently reissued 4 Baker titles. I picked up the 3 instrumentals. Not a huge fan of Chet's vocals. Quote
HutchFan Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 Chet Baker - Peace (Enja, 1982) with David Friedman (vib, mar), Buster Williams (b), and Joe Chambers (d) Outstanding. Quote
HutchFan Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 John Handy - Excursions in Blue (Quartet, 1988) with Jim McNeely or Buddy Montgomery (p), Rufus Reid (b), and Billy Hart or Eddie Marshall (d) Quote
