Hesitated on this one when issued as at times I think I have too much Metheny, this morning not so much. Just ordered a copy of the Tone Poet release:
The cover image for some reason makes me think of ERCOT, wishing all Texans a good week.

The Tone Poet is phenomenal, youâll not listen to the CD again.
Interesting. I found another edition for a lower price, but thereâs not enough info to differentiate.

At this time I am happy with the original release and will not be picking up the RSD version, at least for now.

I agree with Lonson the Charlie Haden Montreal Tapes are all excellent performances. It is wonderful to hear Charlie in different contexts. Mention of a missing CD prompted me to check in on my copies, fortunately all safe and sound. A fan of Charlie Haden for quite some time learning of his capabilities outside of his work with Ornette Coleman on Keith Jarrettâs Survivorâs Suite and then digging backwards via Keith Jarrettâs previous releases and Charlieâs Liberation Orchestra. Moving forward to his work with the Ornette Coleman Tribute band, Old and New Dreams. Basically all in from there on. I understand there are other unreleased Montreal Tapes and hoping they see the light of day as proper releases.

Strong lead in by Joe Henderson on Round Midnight to kick off The Montreal Tapes. Thanks to Lonson for the nudge and wishing he locates his copy. A worthy addition to any jazz collection, IMO.

Huge climatic difference. I would choose warm weather too 
I found another copy to order. . . wonât hurt to have two, I can always find a home for one.
Right now
Re-listened to this as it was in the player and itâs so good.

This is one I do not have and picking up a copy is rather pricey, fortunately I found it on Tidal. Reminiscent of Alice Coltraneâs early 70âs spiritual jazz.

Broke down and just ordered the Custodianâs Mix as my curiosity got the best of me. I look forward to the comparison and will share my thoughts.

The sound of the CD is awfull, the pressing of the LP is very poor, the music is very far from Monk at itâs best, no even good

A special treat for Art Ensemble of Chicago and AACM fans as the Roscoe Mitchell Quartet will be featured at Madisonâs Cafe Coda Sunday June 20 7 PM. The quartet includes Douglas Ewart (reeds), Junius Paul (bass), Vincent Davis (drums), and Roscoe Mitchell (reeds, percussion, tiny instruments). What a treat to hear Roscoe yet again. I understand tickets are selling fast. Anyone interested may PM me and I can share a direct link for tickets. Co-sponsored by:
