So any recommendations by fellow board members on his ‘70’s and ‘80’s output? I already own ‘Hannibal’, Children of the Fire. But there is also some more obscure stuff on labels like Denon and Baystate. Is it worth buying?

I found this one for some yet-revealed divinely mysterious reason in a used shop in Roanoke, VA cica 1985. Excellent. And it plays at 45 RPM!

Yes, I paid $25-30 each for those, and have no regrets at all.  Anything from "Children of the Fire" through "Angels of Atlanta", I highly recommend.  Before and after that, not so much.

Pim,

I think his self-titled MPS LP, which you already have, is his strongest overall. 

Others from around that time that I enjoy are Hannibal in Berlin (MPS) and Hannibal in Antibes (Enja).

As far as sideman work, someone already mentioned Richard Davis' Epistrophy/Now's the Time (Muse).  I second that motion.  I would also suggest Eric Kloss' Essence (Muse).

Thanks guys, added all those albums on my ‘to listen’ list and gonna make a selection of what to buy soon

Looks great, can't think of two better horn solists!  I'll pick it up if I ever see one at a reasonable price.  Sorry I missed the release pre-order from CDJapan.

[JSngry]

Yeah, that's a damn good record.

You just made me find another empty spot in my Harper collection. Sounds great
