I suppose this is an archival release, technically, rather than a reissue.  But close enough.

Great news, thx!

Yeah these series get both a vinyl and a cd release. This was a great quartet.

This features Reggie Johnson on bass, not Curtis Lundy .... different show?

Lousy bass sound on this one... although typical of that era. Direct bass pickup I assume?

Further listening to that web link and I hear that this was recorded when Pharoah was still doing that random screeching stuff, which I find weird. In my experience, this was better live than it is on this recording. It's like he's playing a regular solo and then just loses his shit for second.

This is the same label that's been putting out those Onkel Pös Carnegie Hall recordings.

His tenor sounds beautiful when it's isolated to a degree. It's hard to deny the facility and power Pharoah had. But despite the fact that I enjoy the other three players in general, this music doesn't do anything for me. The linked recording from '86 (not '80) is one I will probably not go back to.
