Stumbled onto this while searching new releases on Tidal. This set keeps popping up, just have too many box sets! But then again, what’s one more as a friend has offered me his copy for a reasonable price.
I have worked with these two fine music afficionados promoting their BlueStem Jazz productions in Madison, Wisconsin. If you are in the Madison area, or seek a road trip check out some of the upcoming performances. It covers a wide span of music, Roscoe Mitchel to Julian Lage, with a little Dave King thrown in for the hell of it!

Pat Thomas and the Locals cover of Anthony Braxton works of the 1970’s, typically featured on the Arista label. An interesting take on the music with Pat Thomas’ piano work as a standout on Composition 6c.
A fine Pure Pleasure vinyl reissue. The first LP features Clifford with Stanley Cowell, Bill Lee, and Billy Harper. Strong effort by Clifford on the first LP, with a great bass lead in by Bill Lee on the piece John Coltrane.
As I was listening to it that was my thought as well. Regardless an enjoyable listen all around.
