So many lost treasures...

BOOKER ERVIN "The Blues Book" (Prestige) texan tenor sax blows four different blues with passion and fire seldom heard.Impressive Carmell Jones on trumpet

OLIVER NELSON "Screamin'The Blues" (Prestige) Nelson was another underrated tenor saxophonist and capable composer. Here, with Eric Dolphy on alto is at his best.Reccommended music

I hate to compare,and discuss (i prefer like than think) but i regret the general absence of Bud Powell, particularly the first albums in 1947-1953.
For the rest, I let you write, your tastes have my inconditional agree.

BILLY COBHAM, not Spectrum, which everyone talks about but is
unlistenable, Crosswinds and Total Eclipse (early 70's) with
Brecker brothers and John Abercrombie are truelly wonderfull CDs
and have just been released on wounded bird records

listen to 'the moon aint made of green cheese' on Total Eclipse and
tell me these aren't lost treasures

I'd like to put in my two-cents worth.
MAYNARD FERGUSON "M.F. HORN 4 & 5, LIVE AT JIMMY'S"
This album is incredible! Maynard at it's best. Ferd-
inand Povel is an absolute monster and as good a sideman as
Maynard ever had.

PETE CHRISTLIEB/WARNE MARSH QUINTET "APOGEE"
People who know this album wonder why it's not available.
I found it on cassette about ten years ago for $1.49 and it's worth to me is invaluable. Warne Marsh is a very much
underrated figure in jazz history. Great music and well
worth the search.

SAM RIVERS "FUSCHIA SWING SONG"
Blue Note has really dropped the ball in not re-releasing
this one. With Jaki Byard, Ron Carter and a young Anthony
Williams (Tony!) Rivers blows the shit out of the tenor!
I've got a real crappy copy on cassette which has since made
it's way onto MiniDisc. Please Blue Note, put this one out!

TUBBY HAYES "THE NEW YORK SESSIONS"
I'm so glad I saw this one posted earlier. This is up-
tempo bop at it's finest and the best Tubby album I've heard
yet. I had this one stolen (a thief with good taste!) and
have been searching since. Keep your eyes peeled! I AM!!!

JOE FARRELL "SKATEBOARD PARK"
This is a great tenor-quartet blowing date with Chick Corea. "Speak Low" is especially great. Once again, this
is another example of a label being irresponsible in not
keeping it's catalogue up to proper levels. (Xanadu)

DMITRI'S SILVERWARE
If anyone has a copy of this PLEASE POST HOW I MIGHT REACH
YOU!!!!!!!!! This is a big band made up of all the heavy
studio players of the early-80's with all the arrangements
written by tenor-man Tom Kubis (who has also released some
great albums under his own name.)
Just a typical kick-ass L.A. big band album. Please help!

Joël Dilley—River of Hope

I love this album! Dilley is bassist/composer/producer.
This album is incredibly personal...so personal it is universal. Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and standard jazz influences. I think you can get it a www.amazon.com or www.iuma.com

This is pretty hard, since there are many good records. Well, here's some of the best, in my opinion :

John Stevens & Evan Parker : The Longest Night vol 2. (OGUN)

Exellent interplay, very energetic and natural sounding. Stevens does miracles even with a snare and couple of cymbals.

Kenny Wheeler : A Widow In the Window (ECM)

One of the true masterpieces of modern european jazz. Exellent compositions, improvisations and playing from the beginning to the end.

Edward Vesala : Satu (ECM)

One of Edward's best albums. Great compositions and a suberb band.

Don Cherry : Complete Communion (BLUE NOTE)

Incredible swing and most intelligent playing. What a combination!

Jan Garbarek/Arild Andersen/Edwad Vesala : Triptykon (ECM)

One of the very few listenable Garbarek recordings. While being that, it's also one of the best records ever made! Exellent free jazz with great interplay. Edward indeed displays his suberb control of slow free material.
