Off to spend the day with my Dad. This is a good send off! "Lonely Woman" will remain a timeless classic.

Ornette Coleman "Shape of Jazz To Come" Warner Japan cd.

It´s really a conincidence, I´m also listening to Ornette Coleman right now.

This is a very fine compilation of Ford's 1980s recordings for Muse. I dig Ford's Rollins-derived (but not slavish) sound. ... Since first hearing this CD years ago, I've tracked down most of Ford's LPs that the compilation draws from. Sadly, I don't think those records have ever been reissued in any digital format.

Some mighty fine Ricky Ford work on the early Kip Hanrahan releases (f.i " Desire Develops An Edge") ........

Thanks for the heads-up, sp.  Will investigate.

The above discussion of Ricky Ford reminded me to pull out this one.  It'd been a few years since I'd listened to it last.

Yeah man!  I have that on a Gatemouth LP.  I didn't know that Landmark had reissued it on CD.

One of Joe Farrell's finest hours. ... And, IMO, one of the best CTI releases.

This CD deserves a thousand s!  A definite desert island disc for me.

WTF is that illustration supposed to be? It looks like Miles perched on the tusks of an enormous elephant.

That's how we lost him.

Elephantiasis aside, that Miles figure was actually a "logo" for a quick minute, like "Directions In Music by Miles Davis" would be a "slogan" few years later.

So we lost him via logo. First a logo, then a brand. then a monster to feed. That makes some sense.

Charles Tolliver Big Band Mosaic Select, Disc 1: It is pretty incredible that the only time I've seen Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell perform was together, nearly 46 years after this was recorded.  They were joined by Billy Harper(!!!), Jay Anderson and Carl Allen. Allen's presence surprised me, but he fit in well.  I was incredibly lucky to be there.
