No Selmers, then. good. Keep those out of the public's consciousness, keep them for players.

Prompted by the LP reissue appearing in listings recently?  Thought long and hard and stuck with the CD not least as I don't how legit the The Roundtable issue is

Konkan Dance is really super. I have the old Qbico boot LP. Sounds good enough for me.

Yeah - saw that one. It is by the Australian Votary people I think - they say it is from the master tapes. You know what though - the Vocalion sonics are so damn good, I’m not going to bother. 3 great tracks but the last track to my mind is a bit of a jam and not to the same level. Still - worth having if you don’t already have it.

Is that the one that came out at the same time as the Vocalion CD? Didn’t realise it was a boot.

I wonder if Vocalion had access to Adrian Kerridge’s tape set - in which case they used the bone fine masters and not the copies from Universal. Same source was used for that great and short lived Mike Taylor ‘Pendulum’ CD.

Correct - you mean HJ’s latest offerings page? Wallets need to be hidden when going anywhere near there. 

2CD - More from Vocalion. Jeff Clyne, Pepi Lemer and co. Remember seeing this band at Ronnie’s as a lead-in to one of the US groups.

The Frank Ortega Trio "Swingin' Abroad" Roulette Japan cd

You know how they say "NOT your grandfather's". . . well this IS your grandfather's piano trio. Nice sound on this early Japanese cd.

So sue me, this is a favorite. 

Pharoah Sanders, "Karma" Impulse/Universal Japan SHM-CD, 2021

Really nice sound in my system on this new cd.

I was listening to this the other day. It's surprisingly good: up there with all three players' best. I must say that I hate the cover art though.

The Quest (New Jazz, 1961) by Mal Waldron

You can't argue with Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Mal Waldron and Charli Persip!

Always thought that the cover made Waldron look like some sort of mystic sage.

Now onto: 

Matana Roberts' & local hero Pat Thomas' The Truth. 

The last gig I saw was these two with Peter Brotzmann and John Edwards in December 2019. I assume that this was recorded that week whilst Roberts was in town.
