Blue Note Records has announced a November 18 release for Revival: Live at Pookie’s Pub, a thrilling previously unissued live recording of Elvin Jones’ quartet that captures the legendary drummer’s emergence as a bandleader at a little-known club in New York City where he had a weekly residency after leaving John Coltrane’s band in 1966. Featuring Joe Farrell on tenor saxophone, Billy Greene on piano, and Wilbur Little on bass, Revival was recorded between July 28-30, 1967, just two weeks after Coltrane died on July 17. The album finds the band stretching out on expansive versions of standards and bandmember originals like Jones’ present to his wife “Keiko’s Birthday March” which is available to stream or download today.
Revival: Live at Pookie’s Pub will be released in deluxe 180g 3-LP and 2-CD sets which include an extensive booklet with stunning photos by Francis Wolff, Ozier Muhammad, Christian Rose, and others; essays by GRAMMY-winning author and co-producer Ashley Kahn, co-producer Zev Feldman, executive producer Don Was, and the original recording engineer Bob Falesch; interviews and statements by drummers Alvin Queen and Michael Shrieve, pianist Richie Beirach, and Elvin Jones band alumni Pat LaBarbera, Gene Perla, and Dave Liebman."

There is even more Coltrane being released for the first time inckuding the 1961 Newport Concert albeit the audio is supposed to be very poor. It amazes me what there is that is available for release these days which had previously remained undiscovered. I saw a review for a Mosaic box set of records from a label called Black & white which I never heard of before. The music in question covers the early to late forties and captures the time when swing was making a transition to Bop. I love this period of jazz. It seems tempting but so does the Savory boxset which captures the jazz scene of about 4 years beforehand with loads of Basie / Lester Young. I believe that the Black & White set largely consists of music not available for 80 years and much of that was realitvely obscure due to the low number of pressings made during WWII. I would imagine that it is somethig that Elmo would appreciate.

Enjoying those timeless 1957 Monk sessions with Trane, Bean, Gigi Gryce, Wilbur Ware, Blakey and the forgotten Ray Copeland. I'd forgotten how good these sessions were, everyone at the top of their game. Wilbur Ware was such a distinctive bassist and with Monk and Blakey it was a dream team. Ray Copeland was an underrated trumpeter who never had an album under his own name, here is 'Well you needn't'.
