Realized that I'm only conversant with this group's Atlantic & Apple work, so...setting aside a little time for remedial history.

This is essentially a book-end type of set for these guys right? Early 50s Prestige to early/mid 80s Pablo. Well, maybe the Savoy sides came before the Prestige? Anyway, I enjoy the Echoes album but don't have any of the Prestige albums.

A bookend set, yes.

I'm finding that I might prefer that late 60s-early 70s Apple/Atlantic run best of all, like when John Lewis just started going full on "abstract" with the textures of him and Connie Kay, but...the Prestige sides have their charm (and irritation) was well. That's as far as I've gotten, but I'm just gonna let it all marinate for a few days.

Still...Space...one of the best jazz records, period.

Is this his solo performance from Montreux ? This was very much discussed over here when it came out. It got radio play also.

 

I saw Ray Bryant shortly after this, but with a quintet if I remember right. Very nice, very articulate....

Yes it is the performance that was issued on a Pablo CD. I never saw him live, so this is a very welome DVD.

Anthony Braxton - For Four Orchestras (Arista, 1978)

First time I've sat down to listen to it. I'm actually quite enjoying it, but my main thought is that it doesn't really seem to need all four orchestras. Perhaps it's different in quadrophonic mix, but there doesn't seem to be anything here that you couldn't do with one.

I'll have to check that out. I have only passing familiarity with their Atlantic albums and haven't heard any on Apple.

Both the Apples are well worth a listen. I was turned on to them by JSngrey's enthusiasm a while back

I received a promo copy of the box when issued. Enclosed was a hand written note from Cuscuna explaining the discs were pressed in "changer order" and the labels were all wrong.

"Record One is 1 / 4 not 1 / 2

Record Two is 2 / 5 not 3 / 4

Record Three is 3 / 6 not 5 / 6"

They were going to call them all back and repress but Braxton said he liked the new sequence and they let it go.

I haven't compared it with the Mosaic to see which order they used.
