Right, Xanadu. Steeplechases are fine IIRC.

Here's a fun write-up on Ronnie's Steeplechase dates (written in 2018 so it's missing a few of the last ones): https://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/2018/09/cuberquest-ronnie-cuber-on-steeplechase.html

I have had these records for 40 years but never listened closely.  Probably dismissed them as "jam sessions".  Wow - they are fantastic!!

I wish I was into getting stuff signed back in the days when I saw Mulgrew on a semi-regular basis.

Same here. Never listened to it closley. 

I have other KB recordings I prefer. All other BN studio recordings and the live recording "On View at Five Spot".

Forgot how good this one is. . . both musically and engineering wise. Dynamic and clear live recording.

John Coltrane “My Favorite Things” Atlantic 60th Anniversary reissue Stereo LP

 

 

Both the stereo and mono LP in this reissue package sound great. Stereo is spinning today and I think my new/used phono preamp is finally “broken (back) in” and this playback is sounding great.

A very different Coltrane recording! I find this 2 LP or 1 cd set to be fascinating, and calming.

Alice Coltrane “Kirtan: Turiya Sings” Impulse! 2 LP set, record 2
