Thanks for those stats! Interesting to see. A 3.7 seem like a reasonable outcome.

Well done on this Pim! I've learned a lot and discovered things I would not have otherwise. 

Looking forward to the next instalment, whatever it is going to be.

Thanks Rabshakeh it was a pleasure doing this!

Gret undertaking, Pim. Prompted me to review my Waldron collection. The effect was probably not the one you expected your blog would have on its readers - I significantly pruned my Waldron collection, leaving just a few items (TUTUs, discs with Lacy, duo with Marion Brown). But that's not your fault - it's that Waldron fella. 

Regarding obtaining TUTU CDs - one can contact the label owner, Peter Weissmüller, directly at tutu@jazzrecords.com - his prices are actually very reasonable, and most of the CDs are in print.

Have you covered these Time Warp duos (four volumes!) with Christian Burchard: https://open.spotify.com/album/1sG6Oljx9LSGxyomKmkhe7   ?

Pim, I really love this body of work.  You got me interested in a bunch of Waldron I’d never heard of 👏👏👏

Thanks Guy hope you'll enjoy them just as much as I do!

Nice trio outing with George Mraz and Al Foster. But I would go for the recent 2cd Progressive release that also includes the other session: Mal ‘81. I believe it’s still in print.

I reviewed it here:

Will definitely pick this one up at some point. The band is very interesting; Mal had an affinity for playing with rock-adjacent musicians at the time, given his work with Christan Burchard of Embryo, Jimmy Jackson (Embryo, Haboob, Amon Düül II), the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, and probably more I am forgetting.

Well it’s been a while since I posted something but of course I had to review the new Sam release. Five stars from me: it’s very very Mal and very very good!

Thanks for the review Pim - will probably get this before it sells out - picked up a few SAM items in the past, most recently the wonderful Billy Harper LP

BTW I was very into Magma in the 70s - still have some of their vinyl
