Howard Riley CBS reissues

[RogerF]

For those who missed the original Sony reissues of these two classic Columbia releases, Hux Records have now got them both on a two-fer with new liner notes. Howard Riley's 'Angle' and 'The Day Will Come' are exceptionally good albums and received four star awards in the Penguin Guide to Jazz. These were two of pianist Riley's earliest trio recordings from the 1960s and whilst hardly "mainstream" are arguably more (instantly) accessible, before he moved into more solo work. Riley's a great pianist and innovator and these are two of his very best. Release imminent - end November or beginning December.

Edit: Angle was 1969 and the Day Will Come was 1970, also Barbara Thompson guests on one track on Angle.

I've never heard of him. At first glance, I thought this thread was about Terry Riley.

Great news! Thanks for posting.

[romualdo]

and Ichnos!!

yes please!!

love his work

Picked up both of those late 90's releases at the time when we had shops here in Brisbane that had a good jazz repertoire

His recent Lithuanian "No Business" releases "Solo In Vilnius" (2CD) & "The Complete Short Stories 1998-2010" (6CD) are highly recommended IMHO

Oh my excellent news! Fortunately I was able to get both of those marvellous albums when they were released but anyone who missed is able to buy them now!

Recently saw a good vinyl copy of the 'Angle' in a store in Melbourne. Should have gone for it..
