Are you getting into shape for part 5?

I am. Preorder up on BC. Strong line up

Always a good thing to have a new chapter of this, can't wait

Greg Osby is terrific on this album.  My used LP has seen better days.  Can anyone comment on the 2013 Japanese remastered CD?

I've always thought there was something scary about it, but I can't quite say why.

Anderson .Paak - Malibu

I didn't really like this one when it came out but it has grown on me. I flagged it during my recent jazztronica plunge, and this does sort of fall into that category. Robert Glasper is on it.

Trying this as posted on this label's forum thread. Nice work.

Not familiar with Joel Harrison either but found this. Interesting...

Not only the cover but  also the complete music inside

Bit of a snooze fest even with Cedar Walton, David Williams & Michael Carvin.

Much better. Kenny Drew with Frank Butler & Leroy Vinnegar.

I’m revisiting this one. It has so many elements that I love about Ellington records. And the sound is great.

Ray Nance!

I had a few dollars in Amazon credits set to expire and thus paid a couple of bucks for my first Mosca-led date.

I didn't know about Williams having cancer.  I saw him a few years ago in a duo with Vandermark and he was fantastic.  He has a huge sound.  I just Googled, discovered the GoFundMe and donated.

Thelonious Monk “The Classic Quartet” Candid cd 2023

After waffling I decided to order this new cd even though I do have a budget early cd of this in storage. This new remaster certainly would sound better than that cd in a side by side comparison. And it’s a great performance.

On the same day in Tokyo the Monk Quartet did this tv show performance, and a concert released by Columbia/Sony as a 2 disc set. The latter is stereo, this TV performance was recorded in mono.

I always enjoy any of the iterations of this cooperative and the Mingus Dynasty.  Saw the Mingus Dynasty live once at the Painted Bride Art Center when they had Jack Walrath, Joshua Redman, John Hicks, Michael Formanek, Alex Foster (forget the others) and it was an outstanding show.
