Very nice sounding album and it’s on both Qobuz and Tidal

@Jazzfan_NJ - Sorry, it seems the search is bad for this album. The only way I could find this album through search was by searching the albums name and scrolling down through the albums, it’s the 4th row down. Oddly enough, if you search for Mike Nock you get nothing, even though they have 12 albums by him. Btw, it sounds like jazz to me but I’m not an expert, I just enjoy the music
But is it jazz?
Does not appear to be available on Tidal or Qobuz but Roon’s new and improved search function who knows?

Woody Shaw on his game. The sound quality is far from optimum.
Spinning this one as I write. Repeated listenings pay rich dividends. One of many fine recordings on the Arista Freedom label.
One more example of terrific Arista Freedom offerings. This one is available on Qobuz. Cecil Taylor was always engaging in the best sense.
I’m so hucking fappy! To finally run across a few kindred souls with respect to jazz, especially the freer side of jazz. The Arista Freedom records of the mid to late 1970s where were I first discovered some of the great South African jazz musicians like Dudu Pukwana and Mongezi Feza, that were discussed earlier in this thread.
Here’s the recording I was referring to (both Tidal and Qobuz list it as available but when I added it to my library most of the track show as unavailable. Digging out my vinyl copy to give it a listen):

Good afternoon Ralph. Thanks for the Pukwana recommendation! Love his efforts, this is one I do not know and will be tracking down. Keeping on the Arista idea a bit longer which seems to be what I am listening to today. This was my first Anthony Braxton album which I’m sure you know but may be unfamiliar to our jazz colleagues here.
This is a lovely solo piano album that was my exposure to Randy Weston. No such thing as too much Randy.
PS: Another Arista recording.
This is the album that got me hooked on jazz 50 years ago and it is still one of my favorites… My father owned this album and I borrowed it and never gave it back. I had been listening to blues oriented rock (Allman Brothers/Early Fleetwood Mac) at the time and Coltrane’s sax and McCoy Tyner’s percussive piano just resonated with me. My father, who was a big jazz fan, was thrilled that I became interested in Jazz.
Was just listening to this the other day, always a great listen!
This was a new find for me, I enjoyed it and figured I would share
The 2021 Jazz Critics Poll is an excellent place for music you may have missed that was released this year:
Sometimes you just don’t find out about a great album until years after its release. How I missed this one I don’t know since I tend to follow European and Italian jazz but better late than never. Does not show up on Tidal or Qobuz but worth seeking out plus it’s on Blue Note which should make finding it a little easier. A good mixture of great playing that’s a both respectful of jazz tradition (aka inside playing) and the freer aspects of jazz (aka outside playing). A very pleasant surprise.
All killer with no filler. Great lineup and even better playing. Available on Qobuz but not Tidal and in spite of what the review says the best track is the title track.

George Coleman is SO underrated. Thanks Ralph, I’m on it.

Ken Vandermark - reeds
Nate McBride - bass
Hamid Drake - drums
Available on Tidal/Qobuz which means you need give it a listen, that is if you are unfamiliar with this amazing recording. So far we have been tiptoeing around the edges of the “out there” and now it’s time to dive in. Hope that you brought your scuba equipment we are jumping into the deep end.
Drake is just unreal on this recording. Pure powerhouse drumming, rivaled only by Ronald Shannon Jackson in his prime.
It’s on Tidal…at least for the moment!
I’m with you Ralph, know it and love it! Here’s two on Qobuz that are worthy of a listen:
Ask The Ages is, quite simply, a masterpiece. This thread just keeps getting better and better and still no KoB to be seen.
