Steve Lake just posted the following at Jazzcorner:

"The Jewel In The Lotus" is indeed scheduled for release on CD very soon - at the end of August in Europe. Dewey Redman's "The Struggle Continues" will also be reissued at the same time.

Great news!

Was the very first release in the ECM catalogue by Mal Waldron?

I believe so - Free at Last.

Looking forward to teh Maupin & Redman - again, I know them both only by reputation.

Yup -- Free at Last. I think this one is in-print, at least in Europe.

And it's well worth picking up, as is all of the Waldron stuff from that period (all of his stuff from any period, actually).

Jewel in the Lotus is a wonderful recording

... indeed, and I won't sell my LP although I will buy the CD as soon as it hits the bins!

Redman's too (never heard that one before)!

I don't think Free at Last is available in the states anymore. Great album if you can locate one.

I got "The Struggle Continues" when it came out, and during my post-vinyl years I've at times been close to buying a turntable just to be able to listen to it again. A real classic. Dewey, Charles Eubanks on piano (cousin of Robin and Kevin--a real talent, wonder what happened to him), Mark Helias and Ed Blackwell. (In fact I saw the band in concert at the Village Gate, but with John Betsch instead of Blackwell. I don't have anything against Betsch, but I would have loved Blackwell to be there instead!)

I'll be picking up both of these.

Charles Eubanks on piano (cousin of Robin and Kevin--a real talent, wonder what happened to him)

He recorded for CIMP in 2001 ("New Beginnings") and 2003 ("Birds of Bagdad"). I have the first one, a nice record. In the liner notes, Charles explains that his absence from the scene has been fueled by "personal problems". I read somewhere that the CD was nominated by the Jazz Journalists Association as the best Jazz debut of 2002 (Eubanks was born in 1948...).

So he is related to all the other Eubankses. I know that Kevin, Robin and Duane are brothers, and that there was another Eubanks, the late bassist David). The first three are Ray Bryant's nephews.

..... Charles Eubanks on piano (cousin of Robin and Kevin--a real talent, wonder what happened to him)

Here's a review of his solo LP - the link to his website produces "under construction" ... :(

Charles Eubanks on C.I.M.P.

From Artist Outreach Network:

He will be earning his BS in Music from Lehman College in 2005, and plans to teach music in some capacity, as well as continuing to develop his music. He takes private students, presently.

As I recall, David Eubanks was also a cousin of Kevin, Robin and Duane. Drowned while swimming off shore someplace in the late 80's, I think, cutting short a promising career.

I’d be interested in seeing a statement from Chewy, who, on the one hand, is a big Bennie Maupin fan, but, on the other, once told us: “JUST REMEMBER every time u listen to an ECM record, Big John Patton cries.”
