I pre-ordered this album from Dusty Groove a few weeks ago, and it just arrived:

Irakere - Grupo Irakere (Areito-EGREM, 1976)
2024 Mr. Bongo (UK) CD reissue

Superb Latin Jazz/Afro-Cuban music, and -- since I'd previously only heard it as low-bitrate MP3s -- a GLORIOUS and MASSIVE improvement in AQ for this listener.  ¡Sí! ¡Sí! ¡Sí!

The former.  

Merriam-Webster sez:

 

What does noice mean?

Noice is a dialectal variant of nice.

Where did noice come from?

One of the many ways in which dialects of English differ around the world is in the pronunciation of vowels. In standard American and British English, the long i vowel in words like shine, tide, or size is a diphthong—linguistics jargon for two vowel sounds joined in one syllable to form one speech sound—that is pronounced with the lips unrounded. However, in some varieties of Australian English and New York English and in some dialects—such as Cockney English—the long i vowel begins with the lips rounded, in a position more similar to the vowel in words like short or lawn. Thus, the long i diphthong in these dialects sounds much like the diphthong in words like coin or joy.

The slangy noice originated out of such dialectal pronunciation for nice.

Thelonious Monk “Genius of Modern Music Vol. 1” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

 

I sometimes wonder: what if Ike hadn't brought Monk forward to Alfred and Frank?

[rostasi]

Sarah Davachi's "Feedback Studies for Percussion,"
a slow, intense interplay of piano and percussion,
Kelley Sheehan's "Acoustic Sourings" with its custom devices
creating static noise against piano strings, and
Victoria Cheah's "Ocean Into Wire," a blend of electronic and
acoustic sounds in a tumultuous yet harmonious dance.

I think I have that with another cover art. Mine has a colour photo of an extremly bloated Bud. 
I remember one track from it "There will Never be another You". The way he plays the chords on the theme is what impressed me most. There are so many cats who play that tune on jams, but in a very superficial manner as if they don´t know the essence of that song. If I have to play it, I try to get some inspiration from that very very emotional version how Bud plays it.

Ike Quebec ? I also have heard that he brought many artists to that wonderful label, though his own recordings are not so well known. 

I have all that Monk on BN on my old double LP with the paper bag coloured cover. 
Never heard something as great from Monk as that version of "Round Midnight" where he plays the theme and the horns have that mourning sound in the background. That´s a MASTERPIECE !!!! 
And the sides with Milt Jackson !!! 

I don´t play ALL of Monk´s composition , but "Round Midnight", "Thelonious" "Monk´s Mood", "Epistrophy" "Off Minor", "I Mean You" come to my mind, since we include at least one of them in many set lists.....

Yes this one. I had only seen the profil photo of Bud on "Amazing Bud Powell Vol I and II" with that slim young man and was  s h o c k e d   when I saw this one, it seems that he doesnt have a neck. That´s what the enormous input of alcool seems to do to people who drink.......

This cover photography likely also distorted by perspective ....

This one again before it goes back into the shelves. Disc 1 again too because I didn’t get enough of it before. A very nice live recording of intriguing music.

Jonathan Blake “Trion” disc 1

 

 

On to this one. . . after playing the Blake material makes me realize both how evolved and how consistent the form and the spirit of jazz is between these.
