I agree with you that the 70's were a great time for recorded jazz. The 60's and 50's were, also. 1980 on has been comparatively a wasteland to me!

1 – Way outside my domain. 2 – I like this, like that R&B sound, likely 50’s. 3 – By the numbers 60’s organ trio stuff, but they’re great numbers. Love it. Is that George Benson on guitar with Jack McDuff? I likely already own this on some Prestige/OJC CD. 4 – This is proving to be a soulful BFT? 50’s vintage, nice tune, good sax players. Sounds like one of those 50’s Prestige All-Stars “leaderless” sessions that Mal Waldron or Teddy Charles would organize, except the electric piano throws me off. So maybe it’s Ray Charles with Hank Crawford and Fathead, or something like that. That would be my guess, and the electric keyboard guy doesn’t really sound like a jazz player as such to me. 5 – Chico O’Farrill-ish. “Caravan”, of course. Good stuff. 6 – A very different “Caravan”, someone who has heard Randy Weston, though it’s not Weston, and don’t think it’s anyone like him. But I like this. 7 – Sounds like the same pianist as in #6, though maybe you set us up to just think that! Anyways, I find this more successful than their “Caravan”, holds interest more. This is one I’d like to have if I don’t already. 8 – “My Favorite Things” but not one of my favorite versions. Seemingly “Inspired” by the ‘Live at the Village Vanguard Again’ deconstruction of the beautiful tune. I’m more a ‘Newport 1963’ version guy myself. It’s OK, but way overstays it’s welcome at 10 minutes for me. I can’t say any of the soloists sound very inspired, they’d probably rather be playing “Ascension” or “Leo” or something. The trumpet solo is horrid to my ears, sounds like a joke. 9 – Wynton Marsalis showing he knows the entire history of jazz in one cut yet again? Technically brilliant, emotionally frozen, which describes all of his work following the great ‘Live at Blues Alley’. Though he was great commentating the Ken Burns Jazz series. 10 – Loved the rhythm section (especially the bass player – Charlie Haden? Fred Hopkins?), hated the composition, especially the first part (I’ve never been fond of circus music). Henry Threadgill? 11 – Very nice classic big band stuff, likely recorded a little later. 12 – Technically very impressive, though not something I listen to. 13 – My one positive ID. “Moment’s Notice” by McCoy Tyner from ‘Supertrios’. Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Love love love that period of Tyner! Hearing the 'Sahara' album was a life-changing event for me. Interesting BFT, thanks! Designed to drive every listener crazy at some point! My favorites were #13 (of course), #3, #6, #4, in roughly that order.

Are there any box bargains currently available?
felser replied to GA Russell's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Seems like we discussed those collections before and that the quality was inconsistent. I got the Ramsey Lewis, and was not pleased, even at the price. It's really bad when you "upgrade" to the Real Gone Jazz sets, but that's what I did with the Lewis. -
"Exotica" and "Like Sonny" are both wonderful compositions. I've always liked that material.
