    Haven't received any copy of the Bird yet. Have an UHQCD from importcds.com not yet received and I ordered an RSD US copy from another vendor (half the price) and haven't yet received that either. I'm not worried yet. . . ;)

    NP: Cecil Taylor Ensemble - Always a Pleasure (CD, FMP, 1996)

    Cecil Taylor (p), Longineu Parsons (t), Harri Sjöström (ss), Charles Gayle (ts), Tristan Honsinger (vlc), Sirone (b), Rashid Bakr (d)

    I often love duo or trio recordings because as a listener you can hear the musicians listening to each other and hear how this listening guides their playing. Somehow, I experience this Cecil Taylor septet date in a similar way - which can only suggests that this is a pretty excellent group of musicians ...

    It's also the only recording in my collection that features Gayle as a sideman. He playing only a little bit more restrained than his usual passionate, loud, and skronky sound and that works really well in this context.

    Bill Evans has been for years my favorite jazz pianist. Nowadays I still like much.
    In particular, though I find absolutely fundamental the trio with La Faro and Motian, I appreciate the trio with Gomez and Morell.
    There are delicious things outside the usual trio combination like the live album with the flutist Jeremy Steig, a bit underrated work that I own or the third stream work with Claus Ogerman that I am planning of getting.
    Other gem that I love is the live album on quartet featuring a fabolous Stan Getz, But Beautiful, the title, I believe to memory.

    Yes a very nice cd. Had it at one time but lost it somewhere along the way.

    What Lon said. We are all different and his ability to play expertly in several idioms never ceases to amaze me. When I listen to Bill he fills me with contentment. @Mark J have you ever listened to Everyone Digs Bill Evans. It might change your mind, especially Peace Piece.

    Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Plus (1961)

    Wynton Kelly joins the group for 4 of the 6 tracks, moving Victor Feldman off the piano bench to the vibes--which gives the group's sound an unusual wrinkle in Cannonball's catalogue. On this one, Nat Adderley even plays with a mute, so it's easy to imagine it as an outtake from a lost Miles session.

    I've been on a Lee Morgan kick for weeks now. Especially this one. Recently watched I Called Him Morgan again. This time it didn't depress me quite as much as the initial viewing. I couldn't listen for a few months after that. Still haven't bought the Lighthouse box. Need to. Maybe in the new year.

    And the cover is much more provocative than the tan BN two-fer from the 1970s.

    I sure wish that there had been a local source for FMP recordings back when they were very active; I've never even seen the vast majority of them.
