I think you'd like it, he has a couple of reissues through Soul Jazz records over the last few years, they are all very good. Steve Reid (2)
Here's a taste.

Video shows as unavailable for me - but I'm gonna track something down once my final side for the night stops spinning and I make the switch to digital for the remainder of the evening. I feel like I see his name far too frequently to not check him out, so I'm gonna set out to remedy that before I dig into this week's new releases!

Yeah, this and Nova are the ones I've seen quite frequently. I'm really digging Odyssey of the Oblong Square so far!

New Life Trio - Visions of the Third Eye (Early Future Records, EFR003, UK, 2022 reissue)
Happy to join in the Steve Reid love with the first spin on this recently reissued one. Nice treatment with a 20 page booklet featuring interviews, an essay, photos and sheet music reprints.

One of my BN favorites. Such a shame he didn't record more around that time. I think there was something like a 20 year gap between this and his next one as lead.

Thad Jones, Frank Wess, Teddy Charles, Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins & Elvin Jones - Olio (Prestige/Esquire, 1957 First UK Mono Pressing)
The Oscar Peterson Trio - Eloquence: Live At The Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen (Mercury, 1965 First UK Pressing)
BBC Transcription Disc - The William Russo Orchestra (BBC Transcription Disc, 1965 First Pressing)
A non-connected mix to start the day. The Olio is just killer, so so good and such a fantastic line-up of musicians. The Peterson is one that has a bit of a connection as I recently visited Copenhagen for the first time and went to the Tivoli Gardens. Finally, a fantastic BBC Transcription disc that was meant to have been destroyed in 1968 but survived. Russo introduces each track and the soloists, with the British Baritone saxophonist Ronnie Ross being a stand-out.

Michael Garrick Quartet - Kronos (HEP Records, 1983 First Pressing)
Michael Garrick And Shake Keane - Rising Stars (Trunk Records, 2011 First Pressing)
Both of these are actually sessions that occurred significantly before the albums were actually released, with Kronos being recorded in 1959/1960 and Rising Stars being recorded in 1964. The tracks are hit and miss in my opinions, with some fantastic numbers being followed up by some that sound dated. Still, a great couple of affordable records!
