CD is only way I'll buy them.

Their best album and a highlight of the entire Paisley Underground movement, the last rock sub-genre that truly grabbed me:

Yes, indeed... Listen to his intro solo to "Prayer for Peace" on Charles Tolliver's 'Live at Loosdrecht' album for further schooling:

You're on a roll, that was one of my first jazz purchases and my intro to Billy Harper. I just kept playing "Capra Black" from that 2LP set over and over, and there are other gems on there.

Love them both. Africa/Brass was the second Trane album I ever heard, in 1972, and blew me away.

Me too, wish there were more than the two albums!

Digital purchase of this classic:

Dipping gingerly into buying a few downloads of titles I'll never see on CD. Today was 'Lookout Farm' , the great ECM album by Liebman, Beirach & Co. (they never came close to this again), and 'All That's Good', the obscure 1964 Freddie (Frederick on this release) Roach album on BN. Not classic but certainly interesting.

+1

I replaced several Muse CD's with 32Jazz CD's when they came out in the 90's or whenever, and have regretted it ever since, in some cases re-buying the Muse CD's.

+1, love Brackeen, respect the label.

LOL!

William Parker - Migrations of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World (10 CD's) $59 shipped PP F&F or interesting trade. Woody Shaw - Complete CBS Studio Recordings Mosaic set. $69 shipped PP F&F or interesting trade. Please PM if interested.

Bruce Johnston? How does his absence improve things? Truly curious. The period you mention was the last time I found the Beach Boys interesting as a current rather than retro group, though I'll take Sunflower and Surf's Up over those two. But "Sail On Sailor" is a magnificent song/recording.

I'm not either, going back to the days of Dave Mason's great 'Alone Together' album with the goofy marbleized vinyl and creepy cut-out cover (but wonderful music). Thanks Lon and @JSngry , I stand corrected and educated on the Manne and will look for it. She is a strong vocalist!

Has not been on CD. I'm going to pay for a digital download from Amazon, which I rarely do. But this is strong stuff!

Saw the Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble doing a Black History Month Motown-inspired show at the Upper Merion Community Center, free and about 1/2 mile from my house 🙂. Excellent show, Warren Oree is quite a bassist, and Sherry Butler is a very strong vocalist. Now if I could just track down their 1987 'Le-Le' album!

Count me in for the CD releases of both the Cannonball sets, especially the 1972. I'm a soft "no" (maybe could be persuaded at some price point) on the McDuff (repertoire is uninspiring, as is the lack of ID for some of the musicians) and the Mann (Ruth Price vocals on the 1966 date, not familiar with her).

Count me in for all 29!

Also in for this, as well as the Lateef and the Waldron/Lacy. I guess April 26 is going to be an expensive day for the Felser household!

I'm also in, love any version of "Snake Out".

Yes it is, but should have been so much better. Why on earth did Joel Dorn sabotage those last two tracks (on a live quartet date) with studio strings, horns, background vocals?!?. Wish they would reissue that album with Dorn's adulterations removed. As far as this new set, count me all in for the CD release!

I've generally done $50/year on the past (think I didn't this past year because of the donations function being down), glad to do any of the numbers being kicked around except for Mr. Sangrey's grand solution.
