Since itβs Fusion Friday I decided to listen to a few of my Japanese presses this afternoon. When I looked at the cover I remembered I deployed to the Philippines because a typhoon was hitting Okinawa and my bedroom window cracked and rain soaked a few of my albums including this.
Thatβs Roy Haynes on the drums.
I have a Japanese copy of Chick Coreaβs βNow He Sings, Now He Sobsβ, but it doesnβt come close in overall sound quality as this Tone Poet reissue does. Just the intricate sounds Roy Hayes is making on his drums.
Growing up and through high although I lived right across the bridge from Philly I was a HUGE Dodgers fan mainly because my little league team was the Dodgers. Iβm talking Reggie Smith, Dusty Baker and βThe Toy Cannonβ Jim Wynn outfield Dodgers.
This was like one of the first Tone Poets released after Wayneβs βEtceteraβ and Chickβs βNow He Sings, Now He Sobsβ. Playing a few of my Tone Poets tonight and celebrating the great Sam Rivers birthday tonight too.
I once saw this documentary on this model from Detroit who changed her name to Donyelle Luna or something like that and in the documentary they showed her on several Blue Note album covers including this.
Celebrating the great Sam Rivers birthday with this Tone Poet Series reissue of his βA New Conceptionβ. This is one of my favorites of his.
I hadnβt listened to my Blue Note Tone Poets in awhile, for the rest of the night thatβs all Iβm listening to. βBreaking Pointβ by Freddie Hubbard is up first.
Getting ready for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning listening to Hank Mobley Quartet a Music Matters Jazz reissue. I love the sound quality of the 45 RPM albums.
I didnβt know this recording existed until I saw an advertisement on Facebook talking about its release. It came in the mail yesterday and I usually donβt play anything that hasnβt been cleaned, but I had to make an exception for this one.
I pulled this out this morning just to listen to my homie Buster Williams. My aunt went to the High with Buster, so Iβm always listening to this from time to time. The Jazz Crusaders live at the Lighthouse in 1968.
Itβs Traneβs birthday today and Iβve been listening to all his work. One of my favorite Trane pieces is βGiant Stepsβ which is an Analogue Productions Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary Series reissue.
Itβs Traneβs birthday today and Iβll be diving into his work throughout the day. βBags & Traneβ is part of the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary Series.

Lee Morgan βTom Catβ Music Matters Jazz reissue.
One mind in the essentials, big-hearted compassion in the pressures, and humble tenderness in the tensionsβthis is how Christ forms a people who shine together.
1 Peter 3:8 NKJV
Elvin Jones π
THE drummer on Coltrane's 'Love Supreme' and 'My Favorite Things' but his credits read like a who's who of jazz: Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, Art Farmer, and Gil Evans.
Here he is talking about how he attracts the best musicians.
