[Clunky]

with Junior Mance (p, el p), Sam Jones (b), Ajaramu (d, side 1), Mickey Roker (d, side 2), and Warren Smith (perc, 2 cuts on side 1)

Nope - never collected Moers vinyl, haven't had a turntable in 20+ years. 😥

Both this and the Mitchell are superb. Not sure if they ever ended up on CD (too lazy to look). 

Isolation is great. Tenor, bass clarinet, and corn-pipe I believe. The passage with him overblowing on that instrument is nuts!

Too lazy to confirm myself but I think the only Moers LPs that made it to CD are the two John Carters, Odean Pope - Almost Like Me, Sunny Murray Trio, MRE - No Wave, RSJ - Street Priest, and the Phalanx album. By the time they transitioned new releases to CD they weren't putting much out that was very interesting but there is a great Gunter Christmann album on there from 1995 that is the first true example of his mature conception (a la Explico).

[clifford_thornton]

got it. Yeah, the Murray has quite a bit of extra material, I think -- have the full concert somewhere in addition to the LP release. I don't have the Christmann, but should get it.

Coleman Hawkins - Reevaluation:  The impulse! Years.  

This is an absolutely flawless pressing from the 1980s.  The vinyl is dead quiet, the highs are smooth and rounded, and there is no distortion.

God... I remember when that was a new record... and I love how they made it LOOK like a new record.

I got the same thing on an 80s pressing of Hawk's impulse! bossa record. Green label?

It was so quiet that it scared me out of playing it again. Transferred it to cassette right then and there!

This is the black label where impulse! is written in orange.  Do you know the one I mean?

[JSngry]

Certainly!

Mine is from the mid 70s when this series came out in the US but it sounds very good.

I think I saw Cedar Walton in trio in the earlier 2000´s in Viena, but I´m sure it was not Billy Higgins on drums. I don´t remember who were on bass and drums. It was great, really great, though I would have liked to hear it with a great tenor player too, like all those records with Cliff Jordan or later tenorists who followed....

Roy Ayers Ubiquity - He's Coming (Polydor, 1972)
Elemental reissue

and

Carter Jefferson - The Rise of Atlantis (Timeless, 1979)
Music on Vinyl reissue

Two recent additions to my collection.

Last time I saw Cedar, in 1999, he still had Higgins on drums plus David Williams on bass. Sadly, I think Higgins was already not in the best of health so likely would be unfit for foreign tour in the 2000s. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, it was almost as if his second home was Ronnie Scott’s, with Cedar Walton and George Coleman.

I wondered who would be the first to post this, still not bought it yet as I have the single CD and the Mosaic but...

 

Have now capitulated with an order (‘Dance With Death’) so hopefully will post some thoughts and compare with the King edition over the next few days.

Some great Tone Poet issues coming up. ‘Slow Drag’, ‘Blue Spirits’. ‘Slow Drag’ will be an automatic buy.

First impressions - outstanding.

[JSngry]

Ok.

On the one hand, no thanks. 

On the other hand. Patti Austin is a REALLY good singer. REALLY good.
