Lately listening to some ECM Kenny Wheeler's Gnu High.
I've been into the late 70s Manfred Schoof albums compiled on the ECM Resonance set.
Also a 3-fer of Graham Collier including the Darius album reissued on BGO.
Still grokking on the riches in the Paul Motian ECM box.Le Voyage(trio session with Motian,Charles Brackeen-sax and J.F.Jenny-Clark-double bass) is top shelf music and a revelation to me, i hadn't heard it until i bought this ECM box.Jenny-Clark is amazing,so strong,such a big sound.

I'm on an Odean Pope kick lately...saxophone choir.
Cool beans.
Odean Pope was great in Max Roach's quartet. If you can find Chatahoochee Red, seek it out.
Odean Pope was outstanding in Catalyst.

Love me some Catalyst, Walt...absolutely. A few great bass players rolled through that band, too....
Just enjoying Larry Young: Unity, with Elvin Jones...
Hammond !
That Elephant9 clip is analogue bliss !
Jimmy Giuffre 3,with Paul Bley-piano, and Steve Swallow-double bass,from the ECM record '1961'.Everything by these guys is worth checking out.

I first heard British pianist Michael Garrick(RIP) on a Don Rendell-Ian Car Quintet cd a couple of years ago.I just bought a Michael Garrick Trio session cd from 1972 and i'm digging it big time.Here's track from the cd, Cold Mountain.The tune is "First Born".Dave Green on double bass(not very well recorded) and Trevor Tomkins on drums.

Max Roach & Anthony Braxton. Ohh yess. (unfortunately, I could only find the one track on the tubeyou)
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.

Darius is Collier's best album evah!, Imho!!
I chose to buy that one out of thse 3 on 2 BGO deal... it deserves its own disc
I found the two antholgies at my library system yjis w-e... I'll be exploring this week.
Absofuckinglutely
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Having a bop morning this A.M. -- Sonny Stitt best of set. Sometimes bop just hits it right. It's like the baroque period for jazz.
I hope you're including Soul People, a killer set with Booker Ervin, Don Patterson, and the criminally-neglected Billy James. Hard to go wrong with Stitt. I caught him a couple of times, the last about a month before he died, and he was still playing his ass off.....
I've been on a Liberty Ellman kick, probably best known as the guitarist with both Henry Threadgill and Greg Osby.
Hip group here with Steve Lehman and Gerald Cleaver:

Liberty Ellman is way cool.
You guys should check out Odean Pope's saxophone choir recordings if you haven't....very cool massed horns. Two bass players. Sick solos. Great stuff!
Caught on tape, recently. Julian Lage-Fred Hersch duet.

Just received the new Pat Metheny Unity Band - Kin. Only one listen to it so far - it is dense (in the same way "The Way Up" was dense) and will take a bit of time to fully appreciate.

A gentleman is defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion, and doesn't.
