Oh yeah!! I have West Coast Hot, but would buy those records again in a heartbeat. Will you pair the Carter-Bradford albums? And obviously I think you should go for the Tapscott.

Yes, it's from Dusty Groove. Corbett vs Dempsey put the record out. iirc, they are based in the space above the DG storefront but I could be wrong. It's been 9 sad years since I stepped foot in there!

Fun, but nothing for the ages. Giardullo & McPhee were excellent, but the surprise "winner" was Roberto Ottaviano. Colin, I'll be in Lafayette in a bit for the Festival Internationale. PM me if you'd like to try to hook up. Will do! I actually haven't yet been to FI, but I do want to check it out. On the McPhee tip, I've been meaning to pick this up, it looks great.

Good condition $75 shipped in US.

How was the Lacy tribute? I'd have loved to see that.

PM'd on Lacy & Threadgill

ECM recorded more than a bit of "black" jazz (cringe...). Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, Mal Waldron, Marion Brown, Paul Motian w/ Charles Brackeen, Old & New Dreams, Dewey Redman, Bennie Maupin and others did excellent work on the label in the 1970s and early 80s. Mr Eicher is up to a lot more than people give him credit for and always has been. Do check out the other AEC albums and these I've listed.

Almost certain there's video of the original quartet, maybe even at the Five Spot, in the Ken Burns. Of course it's a split second and there's no sound ... I could be wrong but I really do recall this.

Extension is now available at Dusty Groove, or rather, will be for a couple hours. I went the Amazon route since I have Prime, so lord knows when mine will show up.

Do you have a list? I like them and have big holes in my Shorter, Blakey, and Silver collections, not to mention odds & ends.

I got half my order today. Hopefully the rest tomorrow? Also my discs were wrapped in a Lonehill catalog

Alas it was empty. In the case of that CD which was in The Turnaround? Or maybe thèy took another turn?

This happened to me with The Turnaround a while back. It's probably in another case, but which??

Can you say a bit more? I might be interested in picking up some Venus titles this way if the packaging is a facsimile of the original.

Lee should almost be exempt from this conversation. I think he could make just about any tune into something interesting.

I have heard both the Webster and Sims-Brookmeyer renditions. I enjoy them but there's still just a je ne sais quoi about the more straightforward vocal versions I've heard.

Also not a fan of "Round Midnight" aside from Monk.

I have never heard a version of either "Stella" or "Valentine" that didn't bore me stiff. Torpid and melodically inert, both. I would also say "Lullabye of Birdland", but Lee Konitz's recent version on the ECM album takes it someplace. I love "Someone to Watch Over Me" but haven't really ever heard a satisfying jazz performance of it.

I'd damn jeffcrom's quick fingers if a copy wasn't already en route to me!

Recorded in my old home base of Iowa City (and Anthony's sole performance in the state, as far as I know) if I'm not mistaken! I'd like to have it one day if only for the curiosity. How is it?

Got my shipping notice the next day. Any idea how long it takes for their product to make it ashore?

He's great!

Now I'm depressed ...

I listened to this one this morning and it's a joy. T-K-M repertory done Braxton style. The man himself is wonderful on piano, really channeling Tristano but going his own way entirely. The same can be said of the front line, Jackson Moore & Andre Vida; Konitz and Marsh are the touchstones, but the improvisation is quite original. This was recorded during a fallow stretch in Braxton's career but it would've been a "hit" had it been released by a label at the time. You can download here, or just read Anthony's notes: http://tricentricfoundation.org/label/member-downloads/quintet-tristano-1997/

Sorry, I mentioned in the first post that I do have that. I have more Fats than I realized. Still, thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna look out for that concert with Bird.
