Listening to THE HILL w/Richard Davis and Joe Chambers.  Really good, one of my fave of Murray’s later Black Saints.  Davis en fuego.

Agreed ....

I was listening to PLUMB, Murray’s new collab w/Questlove and Ray Angry - it’s excellent.

I had no idea. 4LP set!

I was at the London gig mentioned in the description I think.

I've listened to it all now. There's a lot of it but it's pretty uniformly good to my ears. Nice to hear Murray playing in this setting

Glad it is good. 4LPs are a bit of a pass from me. Just thinking about it makes me exhausted.

Yes, it soundtracked a lot of the work day. Murray has a special place in my Jazz heart, the first artist I got into in a big way and there was a lot to get into back then.

Seemed like he put out a record every week!

And that was the quiet months!

Plumb has some interesting sonics. My problem is, you've heard David Murray once, well, you've pretty much heard what he can do. And Questlove sounds like a drum machine.

I like Questlove.on the Philadelphia Experiment. Otherwise I've never been impressed. I think it's a halo from his time in Roots.in effect.

I liked Murray back in the day but mostly I agree with Allen. One mode with no grit.

I guess I'm on the opposite side.  Not a completist, but his presence on a recording (especially a more recent one) makes me more likely to check it out.  I like his sound and his playing, and am glad he's still making music.

Just discovered Shakill’s Warrior.  Great stuff!

There is also a sequel, Shakill's II.

Both Shakill's are worth having

Really liked Flowers for Albert, but just lost sight of his music after that, especially the Grateful Dead stuff. Great talent, though.
