Is Mark Elf still active? I remember running into him at IAJE yearly and I knew he had a health scare awhile back.

He was off the scene for 3 years recovering from a bout with prostate cancer: https://jazztimes.com/archives/mark-elf-glad-to-be-back/

I haven't seen him playing in the Boston area for a long while but he did an interview in 2020: https://jazzguitartoday.com/2020/12/reflections-from-jazz-guitar-maestro-mark-elf/

Donald Byrd “Byrd in Flight” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

 

252bbbff3dbb0fef4a5b44778e4345c5efa5ccc0

There is a special tune on it, in minor, and I heard it also on a live CD and some club, with his then quinted with Pepper Adams, where it is the first tune of the first set.....
I love that tune, it´s the best Donald Byrd composition I ever heard...... and the best Donald Byrd I ever heard play....

The rain stopped! Fiona is happy. She is so low to the ground. . . that wet grass is a tickling wet disadvantage.

Man the system sounds GREAT!

Horace Silver “Further Explorations by the Horace Silver Quintet” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

Horace with Teddy Kotick, Louis Hayes, Art Farmer and Cliff Jordan.

I think it is even my favourite Horace Silver. 
Interesting is the choice of Teddy Kotick, who I think became quite obscure after his long stint with Bird. 
Kotick, Tommy Potter, Curley Russell, who all had played much with Bird, rarely recorded again after that. 
Well, Curley Russel re-appears on "Blowin In from Chicago" (also with Cliff Jordan, and John Gilmore)....

Great record. All-Detroit band too, save Jabali on drums.
