Charles McPherson - Live in Tokyo (Xanadu, 1976)
Elemental's "Xanadu Master Edition" reissue

Hell yeah.  This sounds GOOD.

Elemental reissued McPherson's Live in Tokyo and Beautiful! -- but not New Horizons.  Wish they hadn't skipped that one, since it's one of my favorite McPherson albums.   Oh well, I am very grateful for what they did reissue. 

Besides, I've still got New Horizons on LP.   

 

A bunch of Xanadu masters were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Ah, I see.  Perhaps that's why we didn't see a New Horizons reissue.

Is there any sort of listing of the ones that were destroyed? It's such a shame too, as some of my favorite LP titles never made it to CD, like Billy Mitchell's "Colossus of Detroit", Sam Noto's "Notes To You", Ronnie Cuber's "The Eleventh Day of Aquarius", several Al Cohn dates or the "Live At Montreux" sessions, not to mention a bunch of titles that I was only to find on Japanese CDs. I've done needle-drops of most them by now but it would've been nice to get clean digital music from the master.

Yes indeed.  It's a doozy.   

I never would've thought to put Farlow together with Mike Nock.  But it works really well -- with all sorts of interesting harmonic things happening throughout.

Teo Macero produced album.  I wonder if it was his idea to get Nock?

I think I have that early Art Blakey. Is it possible that there is a strange  version of "Tin Tin Deo" on it, with vocal and it sounds similar to the "Tin Tin Deo" we musicians play, but is more "traditional". 

The Ammons/Stitt combined with what I´d name an ultimate "dream band" (Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, Billy Higgins). I think they also recorded as an own unit and named themself "Magic Triangle" . Fantastic Rhythm section, I have the live sessions with Cliff Jordan, and I think "Eastern Rebellion" was the same, but with another Hornplayer. And they recorded on Jackie McLeans last studio album "Nature Boy", but with another bass player, I think Sam Jones had died....
