Mingus at Monterey? Or Buenos Aires?

I have been immersing myself in the Elemental and other Record store day reissues that have been released over the past several years. I have been clueless about most until now. So far I have been loving the Joe Henderson/McCoy Tyner set, the Elvin Jones, the various Left Bank jazz concerts. I LOVE the Jimmy Giuffre 3/4 set. His interactions with Joe Chamners is mind blowing. Any thing that you guys have come across that are similar in revaltory live performances?

Dusty Groove is selling this set at a very affordable price. I wish I had known that -- I had bought it directly from the company through Bandcamp....

Ah, so that's a more interesting take regarding Coleman. I always knew Miles wanted Wayne after Coltrane had left.

How are things marketed today? There are few magazines, and a generation is mostly geared towards finding things out through the electronic grapevine - YouTube and such.

It's definitely smaller. I can see it in what's being offered for sale, locally and online. And in my world where it is arts oriented, the focus is clearly on other things, and its AI and tech oriented. My few connections left in the resale world have noticed this as well. Certain analogue items will have some value simply because a generation has not grown up with it, and have an interest, but there are a heap of cultural things that are being left alone, perhaps in part because it belongs to a time and culture that is no longer identifiable.

I agree with you to an extent, but its a rapidly dying generation. The interests of one group is not being passed down or shared to the next in the same way that, lets say, classic rock had been (and classic rock is pretty freaking ancient at this point). We have a younger generation that is keenly interested in doing their own thing in ways that contradict how we consume things, mostly for better, in some ways worse.

Or perhaps Sam had the energy but the wrong chemistry?

Seriously, how significant a market is there for pre 1950 music to warrant the Mosaic treatment in 2025? As well as post 1960 "modern" or "new thin" or avant music? New thing

So far so good in terms of getting tracking for items purchased and receiving in said condition. Didn't know the Byas was still available, but got one from a member here. Rebuilding my collection, but not needing everything by and artist or group anymore. I've been listening to a LOT of live recordings, especially those issued by Elememtal/Jazz Detective and recent live Blue Notes. I was able to pick up the Lee Morgan live at the Lighthouse lp set for about list price.

Good grief, I've gone nuts. Found Gerry Mulligan Concert Band box for $33, Chet Baker and Russ Freeman for $33, JJ Johnson and Stanley Turrentine sets for $69 each

Don Byas Sonny Clark Savoy Bebop Dial Modern Jazz Clifford Jordan Strata East Atlantic Studio MJQ Ahmad Jamal Henry Threadgill Anthony Braxton Jazz Crusaders Thanks to fellow members, I have obtained several box sets, shown in italics.

Pre wwii music on Mosaic has mostly bottomed out.

This. Like I said,.Coleman wasn't bad, just not the "fit" that this particular group needed. Coleman smokes in the Left Bank sessions, At Yoshi's, and much later, at Smalls.
