What Jazz are you listening to now?

Ah ok. Thanks for this.

Now I've started listening to the collection 'Sonny Rollins - The Prestige Years', the first two cuts of which, on the first disk, are from 'Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins' - I'd like to have this whole album!

… the remaining 8 tunes of the first disk of the Sonny Rollins...

John Coltrane with Alice Coltrane, Jimmy Garrison & Rashied Ali playing 'Number One' recorded on March 7, 1967 from 'Expression'(Impulse! GRP 11312):

Jazzrook, on the previous page you mentioned listening to a tune called Number One from Expression - I hadn't heard of it, but just discovered it was a bonus on the CD, though because of my crappy edition of CD, I don't have it. It is a very fine piece indeed - if it were up to me, I would remove the over long piece where Trane and Pharaoh play flute in a less than engaging way if I recall correctly, and replace it with Number One.

Ogunde is a fine tune - like much of the album it is quite melancholy.

Agreed. It's fascinating to hear Trane on flute but the duet track 'To Be' is overlong at 16 minutes.
I was glad to discover the 1993 CD issue of 'Expression'(IMPULSE! GRP 11312) which has the 12-minute bonus track 'Number One'. This was originally issued on 'Jupiter Variations'(IMPULSE! A-9360).

Time goes by so fast! I can't believe that it's ten years now since trumpeter Harry Beckett passed away (July 22 2010).

Harry had a fine band which included Alastair Gavin on piano, (we don't seem to hear anything of him these days), Chris Biscoe, the wonderfully-named Fred 'Thelonious' Baker on bass guitar, and the also very sadly-departed Tony Marsh on drums, with Henry Lowther deputising, if that's the right expression, for for Harry. Here they were, back then, commemorating Harry at Café Oto:
