Never seen that sleeve, much better than the Storyville issue.  Great album, I love Shepp shouting the time change on Trio during his solo. (Five Five!). Moses dominates on drums. Great drummer who doesn’t have a big discography to his name.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, Trio is worth the price of admission alone. 

the Storyville reissue uses the International Polydor cover. This is the original sleeve art, which first appeared on a heavy folkways-style sleeve and then was issued in a thin flipback by Sonet.

Sorry for the confusion -- my wording was garbled. What Chuck posted -- the "this" I was referring to -- is the original sleeve art; the Polydor/Storyville art was used starting in the late 1960s.

Got it when I reread, thanks, so I deleted my message. I know I am on the vinyl thread ( and have vol 2 on vinyl) but the Storyville 2CD reissue is recommended, excellent quality.

Great to read that someone gives some love to Moses. Indeed a great drummer who had an unhappy live since I had heard that he had been stabbed which affected his kidneys and he was on dialysis and died very young of kidney failure. 

I love all stuff he played, I think the first stuff I heard was some Dolphy with Woody Shaw from the early 60´s, and some Blue Note recordings, maybe with Andrew Hill. And he was Bud Powell´s last drummer ! His drumming on the sets that survived recorded from Birdland is a highlight, he together with John Ore where a perfect rhtythm section. And I like drummers who really play and stretch out, not just doin´ brushes in a trio context. Play it LOUD !!!! YEAH !

Moses was great indeed. As Al Fielder said to me, "man, there must be something in the water up there in Pittsburgh!"

I have another record on that label. They seem to have a bit of a catalog, all of it being local/ Midwestern trad bands.

If one had the means and the inclination, one could probably get a really good picture of that particular sub-subset.

That might be fun?

I agree.    IIRC, Blackbird Records was based out of Chicago, and the catalog was later acquired by Delmark, Bob Koester.

Jazz in the Afternoon always makes me smile.  It's evidence that early-jazz revivalism doesn't have to be amateurish or necrophilic.  Because they sound great!

. . . And Waldo literally wrote a (if not "the") book on ragtime.

Now this:

Baden Powell Quartet - Vol. 3 (Barclay, France, 1971)

Dayum!  This music swings so hard!!!  . . .  IMO, this particular band might've been BP's best -- in no small part due to bassist Ernesto Ribeiro Gonçalves and drummer Helio Schiavo.
