If ever an album deserved a good reissue, there you have it. One day, hopefully

I actually dreamt it had been reissued last night and that is why I listened to it.

Maybe Abdul Wadud's By Myself first though.

How about on the same day. Possibly my top two.

Do your dreams ever come true?

Just listened to the first disc so far. Woody Shaw is on fire. Slow start on first track, but both Understanding and Billie's Bounce are terrific. Good sound too.

Steve Turre - Viewpoints and Vibrations (Stash)

Seeing it in yesterday's Jazz Gazette as one of the top 60s albums made me see how long I hadn't played it. And I corrected. Now.

Paul Brusger - Go To Plan B (Consolidated Artists Productions). This was listed in this thread a while back and the lineup intrigued me, Cuber & Hicks in particular. Very well done date. I ordered another of his titles (on Steeplechase) that was listed here as well and I'm waiting for that one to come in. If it's as good as this one, I'll be a very happy camper.

It caught my attention too for the exact.same reason. They're two musicians who you never turn down. The two of them together...

I'd have liked Hicks a bit higher in the mix, is my only comment. It feels like a sax/drums duo at times.
