Oh I didn't even have a glimmer of a thought of a slight. The jazz field is so vast and it's hard for everyone to be mentioned here but yeah, there are Woody fans here. So sad we lost him when we did. . . what an elder statesman of the trumpet he would make now were he here!
I'd DEFINITELY picked up on the fact that there are Woody fans here, I just hadn't seen that particular one mentioned in my 4 months here.
Art Davis, Elvin Jones and... Father Tom Vaughn. Father Tom Vaughn, Art Davis, Elvin Jones – Jazz In Concert At The Village Gate
Yes, and I glossed over the "this" in the post so I was misunderstanding your post. Apologies. We have mentioned that one but it may have been a while. I never had the LP but have had several cd versions and now have that in the Mosaic set of Muse recordings--love that set and need to break it out again soon.
Louis Hayes/Junior Cook Quintet "At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall, Hamburg 1976" disc one Surprisingly vivid sound and Woody Shaw is really "on." LONG performances.
I ignored the existence of this pianist who even played with two great musicians such as Art Davis and Elvin Jones. Very interesting!

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Impulse! UCCU-40003) The best digital version of the best album I know. To me, A Love Supreme is the pinnacle.
Ha, this is not your grandfather's Chet Baker! Chet Baker "You Can't Go Home Again" 2 cd set, Verve. Disc 1
Hoping this photo links with no problem. Except for the Sun Ra box which I've had for a few years now, these were all purchased in the last month or two and all are in rotation--a pretty big rotation, admittedly. A subgenre I steered clear of when I discovered jazz back in the 80s. Now a newly-discovered country.
WOW! aren't these all out of print? I've been looking for a number of these, and they're over priced on the second hand market. very jealous!
mulligan meets monk - Gerry Mulligan and Thelonious Monk (Riverside) CD Baritone Saxophone – Gerry Mulligan / Bass – Wilbur Ware / Drums – Shadow Wilson / Piano – Thelonious Monk Recorded in New York; August 12 and 13, 1957. Digitally remastered 1987 by Phil De Lancie The 9 track edition, re-issued in Japan with Obi in 2007 by Universal Classics & Jazz in their JAZZ THE BEST series. What a meeting!
They are getting scarce, which is what prompted my spree. In a few cases I'm sure I paid more than what they fetched on release, but I didn't pay anything super extravagant. When looking back at the Amazon product page after receiving them, a couple did say 'No longer available' so I feel pretty lucky there. There are a few other titles I'd like to get yet but which *are* beyond my willing-to-spend threshold.
Some of the greatest jazz of the era, and of all time. I'm particularly fond of the era defining Murray Octet albums, the WSQ albums esp. Live at BAM, the rarely mentioned but wonderful Clavont Fitzhubert from Oliver Lake, and all the Hemphill records. I'm not terribly familiar with all the Blake, Dixon and Lyons material on these sets. I oughta correct that.
I'd guess that there are folks on the list who could tell us more, even some who might have met him. John Gensel was another 'jazz boosting minister' who 'ran in the highest circles,' though he apparently didn't play an instrument. He could even be better known than Vaughn. "''He has been our spiritual guru, our psychiatrist and the greatest booster of American music,'' the drummer Max Roach has said." John G. Gensel, 80, the Pastor to New York's Jazz Community (Published 1998)
My quandary is 'well, I have 3 out of 5 titles in this one, and 2 of 4 on that one...' I do have the Bill Dixon and all of the WSQs individually.
The first Muhal Richard Abrams is pricey, but not prohibitively so. The second volume is reasonable. But if I get one I have to get both... And then there's the international shipping... I've been in this feedback loop for a couple weeks now.
