Carlos Garnett's first Lp Black Love is really the one to get. It's a stunning, stunning LP. Killer all the way through.

Thanks for taking the time to do this! Labels like Muse and Milestone etc don’t get enough attention online, so this is nice. On the slightly funkier side of things, if you don’t already buy any of his albums, Dave Pike is definitely worth checking out - he released 3 or 4 on the label. Mark Murphy’s releases are also worth anyone’s time.

drummer Barry Altschul's two records on Muse--'You Can't Name Your Own Tune' and 'Another Time/Another Place' are fantastic. Also a big fan of Woody Shaw's 'The Iron Men'

Please, don't forget great recordings from Detroit master pianist Hank Jones during second half of the 70's. " 'Bop Redux" and "Groovin' High" are two remarkable sessions of his carrier.

This was great. Really enjoyed hearing about the history of Muse and the titles -- some much needed information. 'Cubicle' from Walter Bishop Jr. is a Muse title worth checking out. It features Pepper Adams, Rene McClean, Billy Hart, Curtis Fuller, Bob Cranshaw, and a few others. -- Mike

Great video! Nice that you can shed light on a label that a lot of fans may not be aware of. I find it amazing that some of these wonderful jazz titles are under the radar. Elektra Musician is another one of those labels that I recently discovered. I have a few titles from Dexter Gordon, Woody Shaw, and Steps Ahead. The label is a subsidiary of Elektra/Asylum, which launched in 1982. It's well worth exploring.

On Muse I would strongly encourage folks to check out Dom Salvador - My Family (Minha Família), especially the first track “Passagem.” Dom Salvador is a legendary Brazilian piano player and I think this record will really surprise people whose only exposure to Brazilian jazz is bossa nova.

Excellent video on the Muse label! Green Blues- Grant Green, the reissue of the expensive Dave Bailey title is great, along with Clifford Jordan’s Night of the Mark VII. Really great label that, as you mentioned, are mostly very affordable and some excellent 70s jazz! I’m jealous of the Carlos Garnett titles you have, I’m still on the lookout for them!

Thanks again for the valuable background -- and all the tempting tips. (My rule of thumb: If a record has a Kenny, a Billy, a Bobby or a Jimmy, it's surely worth checking out.) Totally coincidentally, I just came across an Cobblestone/Musie LP that I like very much: Jimmy Heath's "The Gap Sealer" (1972). No, I don''t know what that title signifies, but it's a good record! How could it not be, with: Kenny Barron (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Al "Tootie" Heath (drums), Mtume (percussion) and Jimmy (tenor, alto, flute)? The 1979 Muse reissue was just called "Jimmy" with amateurish typography slapped onto a cheap-looking photo, typical of the era, but it's the same music. I couldn't confirm it had ever released on CD. Note: My "mint" Cobblestone copy looks flawless but has intermittent crackles and distortion, which is evidently a pressing defect. I've been hearing that a LOT recently, even on high-end "audiophile" reissues. Have you? I don't know what the proper term for the noise might be (it sounds like an adjacent groove bumping into the stylus), but I don't recall it on records from '60s and '70s. (They had other problems: impurities in the vinyl, warpage...) Do you know what/why this is? I've tested the disc on different turntables and cartridges/styluses, and that doesn't make the bursts of grating sound go away -- like somebody intermittently switching on a blender for just a fraction of a second, usually in advance of a loud/high note. It's aggravating. You'd think somebody would have figured out how to press records by now! It's enough to send me back into CDs and hi-res downloads (at least a good DAC can make them sound every bit as good as vinyl -- without the surface noise and distortion -- but also without the pleasure of having the disc and jacket).

Enjoyed the recommendations - even with the growing hype on some of those choice Muse titles, there’s still so much under-radar pockes to undercover for cheap. A fun one I have is Dave Matthews Big Band - Night Flight from ‘77. Opens with Milton Nasciemento tune (Vera Cruz) into a Miles two-fer (All Blues, Seven Steps).

From what I’ve been able to learn, Muse is now owned by Concord/Craft but don’t look for any reissues. In trying to find out why there had not been any Muse reissues in any form since Mosaic’s 2013 Woody Shaw box, I learned that the tapes were not in good shape so we won’t be seeing any reissues of this great label. Instead we will have to rely on original issues.

Come on now. You look like you've been buying records long enough to know that value doesn't accord with quality, especially post-pandemic. Barr's East Winds is a terrible album except for "Free Spirits" which is super classique. Don't pretend it's not a one-tracker whatever it's worth. You're sleeping on so many good titles. No Dom Um Romao? No Harold Ousley? Dave Pike? Neal Creque? Mark Murphy? Eddie Jefferson? This topic was exhaustively covered on message boards of yore like soulstrut, and there was even a pretty solid BBE comp 25 years ago of Muse tracks.
