Very sad news. What a legacy

Yes he blows a bit in the style of Chet but is seldom seen here among collectors.
Fresh Sound has also another CD edition.
The Tony Fruscella Atlantic is one of my absolute favourites. Nick Travis' "The Panic is on" is another that shares a similar status for me. For some reason I think of these two as a pair , even though there isn't too much in common other than era.

Making my way through the J section of my LPs - I came across three Leroy Jenkins sessions that I'd not played in years. All on Black Saint - Mixed, Lifelong Ambitions, Urban Blues. All very different. Currently spinning the duet with Muhal Richard Abrams. It's pretty raw and bleak sounding with both musician pretty exposed. Well worth hearing again.

Understood. I like having this box set with all the mastering by one engineer--before that I had a variety of American and Japanese series and really no two discs had the same mastering style.
But I'm not averse to having duplicates or buying things again and again--I trained myself carefully over the years! And books, recordings, stereo equipment and instruments became my only real mad money vices some thirty years ago.
I was in a similar position at Lon. A mix of issues and formats. The Joe Henderson and Hank 60s material is particularly close to my heart so I bought the respective Mosaics. I didn't do the same for the Hubbard set because I felt some of the sessions were a little weak to my mind..

Very sorry to hear this. He contributed greatly to the community and had some wonderful stories

Lacy/Bailey----Company 4------(Incus)
A kind friend bought a large bunch of unplayed Incus LPs. He was selling off duplicates so I went for this and Company 6 although they all looked pretty interesting.

Since that box does not contain the final mix of Go Ahead John form Big Fun but does have some raw takes of section of it, I made a CD-R that had it all. Played it in the car for years.
I didn't realise that. The JJ set is a favourite.

Thinking about it. I still have an ancient Pioneer PL-516 that I paid $15 for.
I had a P3 a decade ago and I regret upgrading away from it. That's many because I made a poor choice with it's replacement and also because the P3 was so simple to operate- no fuss, great fun. Snake oil upgrades to it's mains cable and tone arm wiring are available ( they do make a small difference)

Paul Jeffrey-----Family------(Mainstream)
I've not played this for many years. More adventurous than you might expect of Jeffrey. Interesting band with some ambition in the arrangements. Nicely recorded and my pressing is very strong ( better than Mainstream average). It's not earth shattering but worthy of a spin or two.

Modern Art Trio--------s/t----------(Gleam)
1970 date reissued recently. D'Andrea sounding significantly more out there than I've heard previously. I've bits and pieces with him but this sounds more in debt to Cecil T with a dash of McCoy T. Nice insert mostly in Italian but with an abbreviated English translation of the liner notes. Pricey reissue but very good .

Latest arrival from Newcastle
John Pope——Citrintas——-(New jazz & improvised music recordings)
Not sure what prompted buying this other than hearing some nice sounding clips on Bandcamp. It’s a soulful quintet ( no piano or guitar) . Grooves nicely and makes a good first impression. Hope that doesn’t sound like feint praise as the music strikes me as accessible but still adventurous. Any one else heard of this group.

Sad news. His recordings are as numerous as they are wonderful. His duets with Jan Johansson are particularly fine. About a decade ago ACT released some JJ broadcasts which included the two musicians performing material from the famous "Jazz På Svenska" recordings.

Re-organising my vinyl I thought I'd somehow lost this.....but found it hiding ( under V for various) with both my copies Anthony Williams' BN releases (NY mono)
Tony Oxley ---------Ichnos-----(RCA) 1971
-
I took a chance on this relatively recent release on Discus. It's as good as the samples on Bandcamp would suggest. I'm not familiar to any of the musicians on this release. The leader plays the trumpet. A modern version of Bubber Miley with lots of lovely growling and fluttering sounds. Very convincing effort.

I'm also in, love any version of "Snake Out".
My favourite tune. Fell in love with it on the quintet on “Seagulls of..”

The Zurich set was on TCB, paired with a Horace Silver date. Is that grey market?
I just gave that a spin. What about the Dragon LP of some of the Swedish material ?

I'm a bit behind the curve. Mr Ottaviano I think has a new one out but when I went looking I only came across this duet with our man in Oxford. Released in 2022, I recall looking to get it in the UK without success at the time. It's a beautiful love letter to Mingus covering only his compositions.

thought I'd let people here know about this - 'Immense Blue', by my trio with Rachel Musson and Mark Sanders, released a couple of days ago:
I listened to a clip the other day then got completely side tracked looking up Rachel Musson as she was a new name to me. That lead to other things and forgetting about the new disc. Corrected now- ordered

Tony Oxley Quintet - The Baptised Traveller [CBS/Realm LP]
At last!
Fine album. I have the same issue which isn't as iffy as other CBS pressings from that time. I was passing an Oxfam charity shop probably a decade ago and saw it in the window. Needless to say I parked up..
-
Listening to this rhapsodic duet. Mr Hawkins has recorded quite a number of duet albums to date. This has a real delicacy with intricate and rather beautiful lines from piano and flute.

Mine's on the way. Her previous recordings on Pi are well worth a listen.
Do you buy Intact from a UK seller?
Usually from Presto music (UK based)- they can be a little slow though to get new releases. Shamefully this one came from Amazon
-
Always partial to the Intakt imprint this one slipped my notice , mainly on account of not recognising any of the protagonists. My error was corrected by scanning a few end of year lists on Freejazzblog where this issue by Anna Webber featured. Very fine music indeed

Thanks for this tip. My copy just arrived. What a group. Pat Thomas is a master..but then the whole thing swings and heaves. It's like being hit by a heavy object and yet enjoying the experience.
looking forward to hearing this in due course.
