I think only Intervall was issued in his life time. The self titled album on EMI/Odeon was issued posthumously. His compositions were revived by a group call Sister Maj's Blouse - which has Joakim Milder on tenor sax, Bobo Stenson , Fredrik Noren and Palle Danielsson- two or three CDs were issued

I keep working strength solution of L'art du Son in the fridge because it has developed cloudiness in the past. I go through very slowly these days as I'm not buying much used vinyl so the fridge keeps the solution clear.

I didn't go for the '79 set but settled on the '73 as it got the nod in Jazzwize fwiw. Interestingly the CD version is around £55-60 on pre-order which makes 150 euros from JM seem very reasonable indeed. I for one rather hate the RSD effect of bouncing me into purchases without the chance to hear much in the way of samples prior to release day. It's obviously a business model which must work well for Resonance etc

Ayler is always interesting and the Fondation Maeght stuff is worth hearing even if it's uneven but this set was too pricey. Especially as I've already spent too much on darkroom equipment this month. I'm waiting on the CD edition as I picked up the Mingus and the Evans (73) on RSD from a local church.

I've been listening to a lot early-late Miles (i.e. 68-75) and I find it uniformly interesting. I'd agree that Big Fun and GIWI are bit random in their programming and coherence but I like them fine just as they are. OTC is astonishingly different and sounds advanced even for 2022. The only thing I'm less convinced by is the use of sitar on In Concert. I've not had that disc too long so it may gel yet. I'd be all over any Sony Bootleg edition from any of this period.

great bit of footage. I've had a soft spot for Lowe since seeing him play with Billy Bang, Sirone and Dennis Charles in the late 80s.

The Earle Spencer material is on Spotify (as reissued by Fresh Sound). I've hear enough B&W 78s to know that I'll be an interesting voyage of discovery for me.

that is a good one ! I liked it a lot. must dig it out

This is the sort of set that Mosaic does so well and is a great service to the music. Ordered

Don Cherry---Eternal Rhythm -----(MPS/BaSF)

Got my copy today for £35 , which is pretty good and unlikely to be bettered even if it is a little noisy in parts

Howard Riley-The Day will come—(CBS UK) Immaculate copy with no signs of play but with plenty of authentic groove noises in the way that CBS pressings of this era do so well

Spirits Rejoice ! - Albert Ayler and his message - Peter Niklas Wilson newly publish first edition in English. I believe this is the only biography of Ayler.

On a sort of related note Peter Niklas Wilson's Spirits Rejoice ! a biography of Albert Tyler is being translated into English from the German original. Hopefully later this year from the information I have.

Loving what I've listened to so far (discs 1 and 2) . Sound is very acceptable given the sources. This is a great archival release up there with the Benedetti and Savoury Mosaics.

I recall vacuuming up Murray and other Soul Note/Black Saint LPs for £2 from Fopp. These introduced me to the likes of Roscoe Mitchell, Frank Lowe etc

I bought this a few years ago. I was impressed with it and was glad I'd picked it up. That said I've not played it in a while...

Seriously good album from Mr Holman. I’ve got the CD but it sounds superb

Frank Lowe Sextet———Skizoke——-( CJR) cracking date from 1981 with amongst others Butch Morris and Wilbur Morris. Fidelity is a touch rough which suits the music perfectly. Very impressed with this new arrival

clips sound very interesting but this reissue seems very expensive at over £50 for a single LP !

I just sprung for Spring too. Came up as a Bandcamp recommendation and it's very nice release indeed.

Mine arrived. Looked quite dirty with some powdery white marks and debris stuck down in several places ,some were probably white dusty finger prints. Then I discovered heavy multiple small scratches at the beginning of side 2 - sounded for 49 revolutions !! Poorest new pressed record I've seen in a while. Going back....

The Brooks has way better sound than I was expecting. A fine release in all aspects

Very sad - his music was always worth your time.

I was initially very disappointed with Vol 4 having got used to the sonic excellence of Vols 1-3. Having listened to Vol 4 repeatedly I can easily get past the deficiencies of the recording to enjoy the music which is very fine indeed. Vol 5 remains unopened but now I know not to have high expectations of the sound quality.
