Wow, thanks for the heads up! I actually posted a thread in this section about two years ago trying to track an issue down.

I got a tracking number six days ago. . .still no shipment! I'm patient I guess. . . .

I didn't get the book, but was interested in seeing the list. It's not as bad as feared in terms of sheer flexing, if only because so many of the really chased-after inclusions have been properly reissued over the years. Still, I agree with Colin that there are some head-scratchers that seem to lean towards collector fetishism over musical impact, such as the choice of Cecil Taylor Unit and Marion Brown records, not to mention rather silly inclusions like acetates and records that only existed as test pressings that contemporaneous fans wouldn't have even known existed. And some really puzzling exclusions of entire artists that others here pointed out, like Bill Dixon, Sam Rivers, and Wadada Leo Smith. Despite my skepticism, I'm certainly a record fetishist myself. I've got 40 on the list in their original forms, and 11 more as reissues. Now Colin's list--that's very interesting! A ton of stuff I'm not familiar with, though there are a lot of artists represented that I love and just haven't heard the particular album he picked. Surprisingly to me, I didn't do quite as well on his list--38 OGs and 3 reissues. Will definitely be digging in further!

I'm looking for recommendations, rather than Google's opinion.

That AFC game was not bad. It was a battle! Looking forward to this SB,!!!

The 1961 tour with Dolphy.

I'd not worry about Google. They're don't really matter.

Miniature versions of the album covers are included in the booklet to the box set.

yeah, Intents & Purposes not being included was a surprise.

Also listening here to Byrd & Pepper

Ooh I got a tracking number!

I mean, it is what I was expecting. Unfortunately, not just not an uncommon vernacular term but also an unGoogleable one.

Arrived in Arizona this morning. Listening to Woody on disc one... Sound is pretty good. The band is awesome.

Some "essentials" by musicians not in the book: Bill Dixon, Intents and purposes. Lowell Davidson, id. Muhal Richards Abrams, Levels and degrees of light. Joseph Jarman, Song for. John Carter - Bobby Bradford, Seeking. Gracham Moncur III, New Africa. Jacques Coursil, Black suite. Arthur Jones, Scorpio. Amalgam, Prayer for peace. Dave Holland, Conference of the birds. Baikida Carroll, Orange fish tears. Sam Rivers, The quest. Leo Smith, Divine love. Bobby Naughton, The haunt. Henry Threadgill, X-75 vol. 1.

I guess I have to splurge for the Milestone years CD box set if I ever want to hear these albums. Sleeve artwork is cool, so I'll miss out on that.

Snow Day Music

I was in a house band at a club called La Roca. The band was called La Roca's Tropicale and we played the type of musics you're describing. There were seemingly innumerable stocks of all kinds of things I had never heard before, meaning that it had been popular for a while. I'd certainly not use this to prove a point, just saying that it's certainly not an uncommon vernacular term.

Mozart String Quartets K.428 & K.458 Prague Quartet

I'm canceling another picnic in the side yard.

This.
