Can't tell if you're joking but Biz is a hip hop legend. He was a central figure in the early NYC scene, discovered Rakim, and was a music loving DJ. Personally I'd love to hear this mix along with the others. 

Took home two total obscurities today - found at 2.50 EUR each in the special offer bins: 1) Joe Burton Trio, "Subtle Sounds" (Joday Records JD-1000): https://www.discogs.com/release/16826433-Joe-Burton-Subtle-Sound Clearly a reissue (despite what Discogs says), but I am sort of amazed at the prices this seems to sell for elsewhere. Looks like one of those 80s facsimile reissues that are neither Fresh Sound nor VSOP but likely US-based.  BTW, in case anyone knows: Am I right in assuming that this Joe Burton is NOT the pianist Joe Burton listed in the discographies (e.g Bruyninckx) who recorded for Trend, Regent and Coral from 1953 to 1957 and is lumped in with the above LP artist in the listing there. His bio in the digital version of Bruyninckx does not read like any of the info on the back cover of this Joday LP. (No, I had not been familiar with any of these Joe Burtons but at these prices I am inclined to take chances with obscure records from the 50s/early 60s)  2) Swiss All Stars (CD reissue of a rare recording from 1964) on Sonorama (!) C-59. https://www.discogs.com/release/2999445-Swiss-All-Stars-Swiss-All-Stars Nice to find a Sonorama item at such a giveaway price.     

Agree. Checked it out this morning.   I just transferred an audience tape to digital yesterday. Fine playing, but no real fire. Ballads and mellow improvisations. What could have been...   Mal Waldron and Sam Rivers Club Dunois Paris, France 19 February 1984 1st set 1 improvisation > Come Rain or Come Shine 37:09 2 I Thought About You 9:13 (cuts off) 2nd set 3 improvisation 21:52 4 12:15 5 My Funny Valentine 11:46
