One more try: a straight $50 for everything listed here.

Bump down to $85

Bump down to $55 for everything.

Already a classic in my household. I love it.

Hm, this was mentioned by Cuscuna in an interview some years ago. I think he intended to release it through Blue Note at the time, so I'm glad he found an avenue for release. He mentioned it in tandem with some live Andrew Hill so fingers crossed on that one!

Up. I'll offer everything listed in the first post for $65 shipped, or as stated above.

Mulligan & Zeitlin are sold.

All sold. Mods feel free to delete.

Hajdu is exhausting and is at his best when he's writing about someone/something he actually likes, which is exceedingly rare (and usually is directed at middling contemporary pop stars and hip-hop, such is the vogue for a certain brand of aging white male critic). More often than not, though, he's contented to shoot fish in a barrel. As this piece shows, he's also prone to fits of bizarre invective.

ubu said it: the range of his activities is breathtaking. One of the greats.

Up with a price drop for this OOP set.

Updated with a couple price drops.

$95 shipped in US. Very good condition save a split on the top left corner of the box lid. Booklet & CDs near mint.

Sure.

Bump with new listings

Exactly. I believe that 'Mosaic' is also the name of the latest Terri Lynne record (maybe Ms. Allen and Spaulding are on it ... dunno) keith Also correct. But speaking of the Stamford Mosaic, Geri Allen's Blue Notes would make a fine Select, though oop copies are available on Amazon for very cheap.

Edited to reflect what's left. I'll do both Giuffres for $10

Can't be sure but I wouldn't be surprised if he did ensemble work with it in the 50s. But yeah, I don't think he soloed on it previously.

I guess I assumed ... maybe they aren't.

Oops, yes they are. I'll take the links down.

There are two options available for the 1965 material which pair it with 1960 concert recordings, also from France. The CDs can be found easily enough on Amazon. Needless to say there's no official release of the material. edit: links removed.

Looks more like Monk in those pictures.

In all honestly, I think Clifford's direction is the way to go. I love the Braxton Mosaic and I love Henry Threadgill, but I think it's alright to say that these sets aren't for everyone. While the Braxton contains wonderful, accessible stuff like New York, Fall 1974, Five Pieces 1975, Montreux/Berlin Concerts and Creative Orchestra Music 1976 (which given your tastes I'm confident you'd LOVE) a full half of the set is given over to much more challenging work like For Trio, For Four Orchestras and For Two Pianos. And Threadgill's conception is very idiosyncratic too, though there's lots to enjoy and he never goes "way out" (imo). Better off tracking down some of the original LPs than drop $150 on something you might not like. The Ornette, though, is a must.

I sure wish there were more boxes like the Albert Ayler and Jimmy Lyons ones ... so many figures that could benefit from this treatment, most notably (imo): Marion Brown-- check his online discography ... TONS of unreleased sessions from a man so painfully underrepresented on record, especially in his prime Sam Rivers-- we know the recent Select just scratches the surface of what's sitting around, both from his creative orchestras and the old trio Horace Tapscott-- again, so, so many private tapes from a major artist who was rarely recorded Bill Dixon-- Odyssey is there, but I'm sure there's much more. I'd say the same for him as for Tapscott: too rarely recorded. Joe McPhee-- John Corbett has done great putting out early private recordings and gigs but I'd love to hear more from the late 70s and 80s. Sunny Murray-- probably the Major Figure least acknowledged as such. An anthology of his career would do wonders in asserting his eminence. Black Artist Group-- Mentioned about as often as AEC but not much original recordings to point to And while there's certainly no shortage of their stuff on the market, I'd always welcome odds & ends boxes from Taylor, Lacy & Braxton-- gigs, rehearsals, speeches, etc. Also, why not an official Ornette bootleg series? Sorry, I'll be back to reality in a minute ...
