The one comment on that review is something that I often think about when listening to Lee Morgan's music. Wondering where he would have taken his music had he lived. He was only 33 when he died and already starting to explore new avenues (regardless of how adventurous they were). Would he have gone down the fusion route? Avant-garde? Electric?

Have there been any updates on when Somethin' Else will start shipping? I ordered from Acoustic Sounds back in February and there has been nary a peep about it.

The Classics reissue?
I received mine months ago, but I snagged mine from Amazon (I know, I know, sorry).


Also, I went back to Out To Lunch today since I’ve got a preorder in for it, and man it’s not as weird as I remember it…
Two years ago I couldn’t even make it through the first track and now I’ve streamed the whole album and found it quite enjoyable.
Freddie seems to ground this album the most for the listener, so thanks Freddie!
I also see why it’s so well regarded now.

I’m sure the appreciation will only continue to grow.

I got mine back in February so for some reason they did not ship yours. I would check with them and find out why. The bad news is it looks sold out everywhere currently I just checked, the good news AS is showing availability August 9th again but I would ask them if the repress date is solid. BN Is quietly repressing some things, some of us got the second run of Sidewinder for ie recently.

So perhaps they ran out and were waiting on a repress to ship him…?
Seems likely but awful that they dropped the ball on the whole necessary communication aspect of a company.

Yeah, they keep updating the ship date. Was June, then July, now August. AS is usually pretty reliable and thought it was in stock when I ordered so assumed something had just gone amiss, especially since it isn't available anywhere. But maybe I was just late on my order. :(

It does look like some of the older represses are trickling out (also nabbed Sidewinder and Real McCoy) so fingers-crossed that the August date holds. It's a top 5 jazz album for me and all of these represses are just soooooo gooooood.

I love this album for many reasons. I find myself entranced by Tony Williams, and, inevitably, focused on his playing. The album is a drumming a tour de force, albeit definitely not “grounded” in any traditional sense.
