Rounding up a few absent Tone Poet Blue Note vinyl reissues, mostly in a Soul Jazz or Bluesy vibe, good to see Tone Poet offering such nice alternatives to so much of the Bop/Hard Bop stuff which can get a bit samey after a while. Again ordered but streaming whilst awaiting return of my gramophone player…

The “other” album by the same lineup…
AllMusic Review by Paul Kohler
This killer group consists of Michael Brecker (ts), Steve Gadd (d), Eddie Gomez (b) Don Grolnick §, and Mike Mainieri (vibes). One of three releases available from Japan only, this excellent recording was recorded in the studio under the name Steps.
Recording Date
December 8, 1980 - December 10, 1980
Streaming on Qobuz.

There is still enough for me to discover and enjoy in my period 1935/1965. ‘Twas the greatest of tymes.Imho.
I might go back but hardly any desire to go forward in jazz musical time.
I love my ‘rut’ and learning and listening.

First time I’ve played this album since I changed my system.
And since I saw ‘Time Remembered’…
Those guys are really on form.

At the end of the day we all plough our own furrow. Some of the stuff that gets featured on this thread I haven’t got a clue about. Occasionally I’ve dipped my toe in the water but pulled it out pretty quickly.

Christian Scott Axiom Live
“What you’re going to experience is the re-evaluation,” Scott informed the audience. “We have just crossed into the second century of creative improvised music, or othersowise if you prefer belittling and pejorative terms, jazz. We’re re-evaluating what we’re playing and why. We want everybody to know that they are free, that they are safe if they want to express themselves; as long as they don’t sneeze while doing it, then everyone will be on the same page. We’re not runnin,’ but wash your damn hands.”

Any thoughts on Graham Collier and this compilation on BGO in particular? Usually their mastering is reasonably well done.

Maybe, hopefully, they will re issue some complete albums AAA similar to Tone Poet or Acoustic Sounds
@Dreadatthecontrols – they are doing quite a few reissues of classic LPs by Mingus, Trane, Archie Shepp, Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders in conjunction with Acoustic Sounds, as far as I know - releases on Verve, EmArcy, Decca and Philips as well as Impulse! too.
