I saw that Khan Jamal passed and started looking into his music.

I need some Sounds of Liberation, and of course the vinyl LPs are scarce, even though they were reissued a few years ago.

Back in April last year I bought a copy of the Billy Harper Quintet from Sam Records and it had a strange mark on the record that continued into the deadwax, something within the vinyl itself (hard to actually see so I'm not surprised it wasn't picked up). It caused a ticking/noise on the last track so I messaged Fred. He got back to me really quickly with a replacement and said that it was the first release where he had reoccurring complaints about the same issue and was switching from Pallas with immediate effect.
The latest release, Donald Byrd & Bobby Jaspar, highlights the switch. I ordered the Wax Buyers version (which im pretty certain has the same pressing info) which arrived this week so I will listen to it at the weekend. Lastest info below:
Cut by kevin Gray at Cohearent Mastering.
Plated at Quality Record Pressing (QRP).
180 gr vinyl pressed by Optimal in Germany.

Not sure if anyone is a Steve Grossman fan, but I recently got a few of his albums, and they're AMAZEBALLZ! I've been a fan of Grossman for many years as a member of the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine, but only recently did I look for albums with him as leader. I chose these two albums because one of them has McCoy Tyner, and the other one has Elvin Jones. These albums are not available on vinyl, and probably never will be, but I would check them out if you like "straight-ahead" jazz. Finally, the cover art is ATROCIOUS; however that's not a bad thing, because I've found that the quality of jazz albums is generally inversely proportional to how good the cover art is.

Here is a great 68' African Jazz album I see @Russ I mentioned in the past from the archives. Seems to be getting very good comments, is 1/2 speed remastered at Abbey Road, affordable, and available at shops.

Yakhal’ Inkomo – Vinyl LP/CD
The Mankunku Quartet's 1968 album 'Yakhal' Inkomo’ clocks in at just over 30 minutes of jazz perfection. This compact, and to-the-point, album would sit comfortably in amongst some of the best works in the catalogues of any of the quintessential jazz labels such as Blue Note, Prestige and...

That’s a very good list based on the titles I know (there are a bunch I don’t know). Of his recorded work, I’m most familiar w O’Neal’s Porch and Piercing the Veil. I was lucky enough to see the Drake/Parker duo, Drake/Parker/Brotzmann, and the O’Neal’s quartet, which I think is the last time I saw him, now a long time ago.A Guide to William Parker

Yea I remember sort of now that there was a VMP Bethlehem reissue series and I never picked any up because they were pretty lacking of details (i think GZ and no mastering name attached).
