That's a good one. Purchased my LP from another board member a few years ago now.

Wish I had a copy!  For now, it's YT for me.    But at least there's that.  Years ago, I would've been breaking the bank -- or, more likely, not even hearing the music in the first place.

Totally agree. 

Also, I'm starting to realize that any album featuring both Togashi & Satoh will almost certainly be extraordinary.  The pairing of the two of them is bound to produce something special.

The only Tone Poem LP I have, from a trade with Kevin. Probably the only one I'll own.

“The College Concert Of Pee Wee Russell And Henry Red Allen” Impulse stereo LP

Second to last Pee Wee release, Red’s last.

with Steve Kuhn, Charlie Haden and Marty Morell. Great music!

[HutchFan]

Disc 2

[jazzbo]

Haven’t played this on LP or cd in a long time. Burned out on it a long time ago but enough time has passed that I enjoy it again.

Weather Report “Heavy Weather” Columbia LP

This one was bought when the LP was new and is still in good shape.

I didn't know Kuhn and Haden were on it!

Yes. It's short but I really dig it.

The original cover is more arresting, but also more illegible.

The English countertenor, James Bowman, died yesterday,
so I thought I'd bring this out for a listen:

Reminding myself that Sam Rivers recorded with Tadd Dameron.

I didn´t purchase that and was reluctant to buy some "remainders" from the BN vaults, since I´m not really a completist. Besides that I don´t know who is Fred Jackson and since I have not heard from other guys or mentors here that I´d have to listen to him, I may not have been aware of him. 

Tadd Dameron would be interesting, but I have read too many bad reviews, that the arrangements were a mess and so on. But it would have been the last time Tadd Dameron played himself on a record. I have a special liking for his comping and learned something from it, and his solos are nice miniatures. The only studio album from his last years (where he does not play) doesn´t really kill me. Somehow his tunes didn´t have that flair they had in his most creative period, the somehow had smoothed out. To hear Dameron compositions without himself playing I prefer to listen to the sides that Philly J.J. made with his "Dameronia" band....

That Fred Jackson Blue Note album Hootin' N Tootin' is a personal favorite, esp the CD/SACD that combines it with 7 unreleased bonus tracks. He's a great player and hearing Earl Van Dyke in this setting is nice.

Miles Davis “Four & More” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

I wanted to hear Paula Morelenbaum's lovely voice. But there are many reasons to pull this one from the shelf! Lovely!
