The album has never been reissued on CD, even though these are very marketable names in Japan. I therefore highly doubt that there are tapes available.

We played it during dinner! Linguine with faux white clam sauce, with trumpet mushrooms in the role of the clams!
So I guess Morricone also wrote Linguine Westerns.
I love Morricone's giallo an crime scores from his classic period, which have some stylistic overlap with this album.
Do you know about the 10-album library set that Morricone and Nicolai did? All of the music is generally in this vein.
Yes, they were reissued by Dialogo a couple of years ago (LP and CD). A well-made set and an affordable way to have all the music together.
My favourite single release under Morricone's name might be this compilation from 1979 on the General Music label. It's a double album (8 long tracks) focusing on his experimental soundtrack music from the late 60s, including the stunning "Altri Dopo Di Noi" (“La Tenda Rossa”, 1968).

I have more by Morricone than any other composer/artist.
The opening track ("Lip Service") would be the perfect soundtrack for the next candlelight dinner hosted by you and Ms TTK.

John Tchicai/Archie Shepp - Rufus [Fontana, UK 1966]
This record may be almost 60 years old, but the music sounds as fresh as ever.

Well, this does differ a bit from the music you usually showcase here.

From the (now) late Mark Stewart ...
I only read right now that he passed away last week. That's a blow; he was only 62.
The Pop Group was hugely important for my musical education, but I also loved -and still like- the industrial dub cut-ups of his later albums.

Polish alto player, who is on Andrej Trzaskowski's Seant, oddly alongside Ted Curson.
I am enjoying his playing, which is gutsy in the early FMP vein. Surprised to have never heard of him, particularly because he appears to have released a number of records. Does anyone know anything about him or have anything to recommend?
If you enjoy his playing on "Seant", you will probably also like his trio album "Heart" from the same period. Nothing earth-shattering, but a fine record of Polish "New Thing"-jazz.

Glass loves the relentless.
Me, not so much.
I have far more Feldman in my collection than Glass, but the Glass music I listen to is his early work, precisely because of its austere and unsweetened "relentlessness".

Too rarely seen and too little talked about. I like those records.

Early '80s I believe.
1984.
LondonJazzCollector has a useful label guide.

Indeed, it’s a dilettante who thinks she can sing to the masses without first putting in her musical dues and care about what the audience wants to hear.
If you make that a requirement (replacing "singing" with "playing"), I will have to get rid of 97% of my record collection.

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned here, I think. I will add Alexander von Schlippenbach's "Globe Unity" (Saba) and "We'll remember Komeda" by Michal Urbaniak, Tomasz Stanko & co.

I can tell you that used records bins here are overflowing with at best mediocre releases of glossy MOR-easy listening jazz on both labels. Sadly, these seem to be much easier to find and cheaper than the quality stuff.

"Intervall" deserves to be much better known. It is a truly great album.
Unfortunately Discogs tells me that the reissues of "Intervall" have become very expensive. I've never heard the CD, but the reissue on vinyl is of very high quality. It actually sounds so good that it now sits next to the original on my record shelves.

The Dancing Wayang label released a couple of nice free jazz albums on vinyl (Mats Gustafsson, Peter Evans, Phil Minton...). The first 100 copies of each release came with a bonus 3" cd (or cd-r?) with extra music.

I've been on a huge Bley kick lately, especially his 60s work, and I have also spent the last couple weeks getting headaches over the details of his discography from this time. There are so many overlapping issues, overlapping titles, various pressings, various release dates ... it's all almost impossible to wrap your mind around. Here's a quick little list I put together to help keep some of this organized.
Thank you for this.
One small note: five tracks from the 1962-64 Savoy sessions were first released on the "New Music: Second Wave" sampler (1979).

I'm with you... these are expensive high end reissues so the market isn't necessarily for "new discoveries" but rather audiophile folks. Have and cherish my pre-Fantasy LPs, which sound great and look just fine.
I have more or less pristine originals. I do wonder how much better those newly remastered reissues can sound.

I have had the good fortune and privilege of attending countless concerts of his, both solo and with numerous other musicians. Almost every one of those concerts was an uplifting and invigorating experience. He was indeed a brilliant performer.
I have particularly fond memories of the heydays of the Free Music Festival organised by him. What I heard and learned from Fred and other musicians there, on and off stage, influenced me profoundly musically.
Thank you for the music.

That's pretty ambitious for.this record even for a test pressing. Ironically, I sold one for a lot less money on ebay a month or so ago (but this one is in much better condition).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/234216967242
Ironically, it was purchased by Mats Gustafsson (along with Albert Ayler "Bells")
The most desirable test pressings of this title are the review copies with the screen-printed sleeve.

Incredible band. Superb album.

I don't think the sad news has been reported here yet, but the utterly unique and extremely versatile musician, artist and arts organizer Hartmut Geerken died last week at the age of 82 (21 October 2021).
He will be sorely missed.

The roughest, but VERY exhilarating, band I've ever heard
Los Barbaros del Ritmo - Palo de Mayo - Andino 1971
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-14023687-1566295660-5093.jpeg.jpg)
The band's from Bluefields, Venezuela, the centre of Palo de Mayo music. You can't not get up and dance.
'Scuse, I've gotta get up and dance.
MG
PS Oh well, I suppose Erkey Grant and the Eerwigs, a London pub band of the early sixties, might have been rougher, but it's sixty year since I saw them.
I share your enthusiasm, but actually they are from Nicaragua.

Masters of Unorthodox Jazz / Reform Art Unit - Vienna Jazz Avantgarde (1971)

If you like this, you might be interested to know that two records were released last year in a new series called "The Lost Tapes Of Austrian Free-Jazz Avantgarde" and featuring some of these musicians.

The linked page seems to have been taken down now
Could it be that this Dutch shop had, intentionally or not, not respected some form an embargo? It was very strange that no other sales platform (nor Blue Note itself) announced the release of that box.

I am interested if anyone has a copy. I have tried to find it on the internet but without success. The Gustafsson / Discaholics auction lists, which I now see are based on this one, I have found to be a good source of obscure records that, even if I'll never own them, are interesting to hear.
I might have a few of the Castelli booklets in the cellar somewhere, full of notes and my bids (almost always way too low
). These booklets were indeed valuable sources of knowledge in a period when you could hardly find any information about such records on the early Internet. If a cover was pictured in the catalogue and certainly if Castelli marked the record as "rare" or "very rare" (terms he used sparingly), you knew you had very little chance of finding it in your local second-hand shops.
Mats Gustafsson's decision to print his auction list as a booklet and send it around was indeed a kind of tribute to Roberto Castelli. His memories of the lists are very recognisable to me.

What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Great record.
Do you also have the "Up-To-Date" double album, recorded one year earlier by the trio with the original drummer Takeo Moriyama? That's an incredible concert performance, like the Cecil Taylor Unit in full flight, and, as a bonus, an "audiophile" recording.
