T.D.

Pianist and bassist on #6 both distinctive. Track A6 from here. I own a CD of this. Made a point of seeking it out after enjoying albums by a group including both.

As alluded to in the first post of the thread, Stefan sold a big portion of his collection on this forum some years ago. The levels were pretty generous to forum member purchasers.

I think those prices are from a discogs seller I noticed this week. Was reading the thread and did some research. I considered posting a link to his offerings, but the numbers were kind of double-edged so I passed. 😶 The Turrentine and JJ Mosaics have never traded strongly AFAICT. I've always considered $75 the default price for Turrentine and I'm not surprised to see JJ offered at the same approximate level. I bought JJ (which is very good) at a cheapish price, but forget the number.

I'm only starting to scan the BFT, but Bobby Jaspar came to mind as a flute candidate (not yet a guess) for #3. He's (also on tenor) on many fine '50s albums.

Thanks, lots of fun. Many discoveries and one purchase (Lightmen plus 1) so far.

I noticed this and several other Eremite titles on sale at "The Bastards". Decided to give it a youtube listen.

Been on the want list a while, listened on bandcamp and pulled the trigger. I've posted before that I find Barry Guy's large ensemble material much more compelling than what I hear from the "contemporary classical" sector.

I have three of the four (all except Takayanagi) and they're excellent. Non-speakers of Japanese don't get the full "box set experience" because the booklets are in Japanese sans translation. 😉

[Italics added] This is true. So many good box sets in free/improv sector that I'm not even qualified to rank them. This is older material but I like it a lot: There's a boatload of Barry Guy box sets, many of which could qualify. I've only scratched the surface of these. No Business has released many good box sets. Won't claim any of these are "best", but I enjoy Jemeel Moondoc Muntu Recordings (although it's a 2009 release and 1 year too old), William Parker Centering, Howard Riley Complete Short Stories and Constant Change, ...

+1 on both the Tubby Hayes and Hemphill. I also like this:

The second (2004) recording

Wow! Great news and congratulations! I'm a chess enthusiast, and McFarland Books has an absolutely sterling reputation for publishing chess books of biographical/historical nature.

No interest. But funny thing about the pricing: Amazon link said $260 when I looked. I googled "bruce springsteen ticket prices" and got a reply AI Overview Bruce Springsteen concert ticket prices vary widely, but average around $276, according to Marketplace. Which suggests that $260 won't deter the fan base.

Thanks, I was curious about #9. That link didn't work for me, but this bandcamp link did: ▶︎ Unseen Advance of the Aquifarian | Harriet Tubman
