Depending on where you order from, aDE's 35€ might be the better offer: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00IOQSW7A/ I've eyed this, but I really know sh*t about the music it contains ... would it be of interest to someone (uhm, me) who prefers soul the raw southern (Stax) way? NO............ It is great stuff, but it is the antithesis of raw & southern. Agree, and it's not Motown either. Really its own thing and if I didn't have much of this, I would jump on it. This is the ultimate Philly International cut to me. Give a listen, and if this style sufficiently appeals to you, go get the boxes. They are great music at a great price.

The Bill Dixon just arrived, to join the Hemphill and the Steig in my collection, and I hope to pick up the others in 2015.

I would too. *IF* the "legitimate" sources would get up off their lazy asses and release them. I will only wait so long. The PD releases arguably discourage legit releases. I sense that people like us who care about sources and mastering are in a minority. I agree that the waiting game is painful. Legit releases are dead except maybe in Japan. When's the last time we saw anything new stateside from Blue Note, Riverside, Prestige, etc. rather than the same old same old rererpackaged (Concord) or silence (EMI).

That's because at individual price, the people who spent the money to produce the product get paid. Occasionally.

In the photo credits at the back, there are a lot of LOC credits for pages 53-88, so you may be correct. Others who have the book may be much more qualified to discuss the sources of the photos from that era.

Hill. Moncur. and Rivers are discussed a good bit, especially Hill. Washington and Gale are not mentioned at all. The history seems very breezy - not a lot of background. The book is worth the $51 to me because of the artwork, not the text.

Here's the sad answer to some of the Nate Morgan questions. Jazz legend Nate Morgan dies of heart failure ‘Did what he came to do’ OW Staff Writer | 11/27/2013, midnight Nate Morgan 3 Longtime Jazz pianist Nate Morgan died recently of heart failure at Gardena memorial hospital in Gardena, Calif. He was 60. Rene Fisher, spokesperson for the Morgan family, says funeral arrangements are pending. Before his passing, the famed musician suffered through a series of debilitating illnesses including a stroke that temporarily sidetracked his career in 2008. Morgan’s eclectic artistry behind the ivories put him in elite company among other Los Angeles Jazz musicians and solidified his place as a bona fide master of the genre. In 2002, a community-wide tribute was held in response to Morgan’s failing health at the then newly opened Jatkodd Cultural Fine Arts Center in the Crenshaw District. Over the years since then, various benefit concerts and gatherings have taken place to honor Morgan’s legacy. Philomine Morgan, his wife of more than 30 years, says she has fond memories of her husband’s loving spirit and playful attitude. “These last five years he kept me laughing,” she recalled with a chuckle. “He made sure to say ‘I love you’ every morning and every night. He also sang to me every chance he could get.” She continued, “Before he died, he told me that he has no regrets, that if he passed he did what he came on this earth to do.” During his final days, Morgan’s diminished health almost required the removal of his arm, Philomine added. “I couldn’t let that happen” she said earnestly. “He’s not just a musician, he’s an artist. When the doctor told me he might have to amputate Nate’s arm, I said: ‘if you can’t save his arm, don’t wake him up.” Morgan spent part of the 1970s playing for Rufus and Chaka Khan and collaborated in the early 1990s with rappers Bone Thugs N’ Harmony. He’s also been touted as one of the best kept secrets of the Los Angeles Jazz scene. Morgan is survived by his wife and their six children. Darius Nathaniel and Deshonda Johnson, and Nymekye, Jabari, Dors and Yusef Morgan. Now I'm fascinated and confused. I need to find out who the 52-year-old Nate Morgan who is friends with all of the LA Jazz people is that I am connected with on FB. Egg on my face. No need for egg, it's totally understandable. But it would be interesting to see what he knows about this Nate Morgan, who seems to have made wonderful use of his life. Love the stories of his marriage.

At times very shallow, written as if you've never heard of the artist, and at times just seem "odd" to me. Writer says that some folks really like 'Blue Train' but others really don't but he really does. Okay. Writer claims that Cannonball Adderley's 'Somethin Else' was a dry run for 'Kind of Blue'. Hmmm. Not toally useless, but well below the reviews from Coda, Cadence, or prime time Down Beat.

Me too. I agree with your assessment of the Cook book.

Got it as a Christmas present. The album reviews are weak, but the history seems quite readable and interesting, and the pictures/graphics/layout are gorgeous. Well worth it if you are into the label (and who among us here wouldn't be?).

And mine, thx!

Wow, I'm impressed. To me, he is an unsung monster of the music. I love that whole label/vibe. All influenced by Horace, of chource, but Nate also has his own thing. Any thoughts on why he isn't better known/more widely recorded? Is it because he's never come to NYC, or what? You and Jim have both been amazing on this BFT.

#9 not yet identified, and my guess is that it won't be.

It's an interesting guy, one I like a lot. I went back to lay an ear on this again after reading my comments. It was REALLY familiar. I was thinking Sleep Walker, so I went to the iTunes drive and started mining. Suddenly, as I was scrolling and listening, it hit me. It's this. Love his work on Andrew Hill's Lift Every Voice. Correct. Very very interesting guy.

It's an interesting guy, one I like a lot.

Just what we need, Self Portrait Mark 2, 45 years later.

I recently placed an order with Ernie B's Reggae (ebreggae.com) in El Dorado Hills, California, who are a fabulous source for a lot of UK labes of all musical types (I am not a reggae guy). Good prices, fabulous service and shipping rates ($11.90 shipping for multiple sets that totaled 68 CD's), and they threw a lot of very cool catalogs into the box for me as a bonus. Pne of them is a complete Bear Family 2011 Catalog, 656 pages. That label is waaaay is too rich for my blood, but the catalog is a thing of beauty. If someone in the USA wants it, I'll send it media rate for free. If someone overseas wants it, I'll send it if you just reimburse my postage cost. Let me know.

Thanks, that was exactly my hope for the BFT.

Now this intrigues me. You've compared one of my favourite ever singers to someone I don't know, Gene McDaniels. What early 70s Gene McDaniels should I try and hear? thanks Start with Boby Hutcherson's "Now" album, for the great "Slow Change" and "Hello To The Wind". Also, McDaniels had a huge pop hit in the early 60's with "A Hundred Pounds of Clay", though that has nothing to do with his subsequent work. He wrote some hits for Roberta Flack if I remember correctly.

Alex, DL please. I fit into: 4 - I've seen that Ken Burns thing, and I was annoyed they stopped when the good stuff started happening! so I'll be pretty useless, guessingwise!

Damn! I knew not to sit on the sidelines too long for those discs. Enjoy! I suspect David will have multiple copies of those titles available.
