Legit.

Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years. Never even heard of that one. Good to know there's more Ted Brown around.

I'd say Jackie's music is about as unrelaxing as it gets.

Really wish Mosaic would do a Konitz-on-Verve set, of which this material would be the cornerstone. I emailed them about it earlier this year but did not get a response back. Many years ago they said they were looking into it.

Scorpio reissue. Killer stuff, but makes sense that it wasn't released at the time: it doesn't really fit the flow of Jackie's records starting at Let Freedom Ring.

Yeah, great great video. Does anyone have info on the recording session that was being filmed? Looked like Cuscuna in the background there. I was digging it.

For some reason I was the sole bidder on a perfectly fine looking copy of Afternoon of a Georgia Faun: 98 cents. There was another, plain old copy with multiple bidders up to nearly $25.

No, more like the cheap repressing of the Billie Holiday Columbia box.

My guess: euro budget box.

All of these are available from sellers on Amazon for less than $7. That sure didn't take long.

Morton and Cook suggest Hemphill/Wadoud are an extension of Dolphy/Carter which I think is an interesting thought. I'm always fascinated to hear people's theories on Dolphy's Influence; there has to be something there but I think it's hard to discern which is what makes him such an interesting figure to me.

Note this: I saw this story when it first posted and the headline was "Smooth No More: Jazz Gets Political" (which is six different kinds of stupid all by itself) but when I checked back a couple hours later they somehow slipped OWS in there. Absolutely random and definitely not the original impetus for the article. & I don't think it needs to be said that political jazz was made all through the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. For that matter saying that jazz took an "easy listening" bent in the 80s is totally odd, like saying that Peter Cetera-era Chicago wholly characterized rock and pop music in the 1980s.

No offense intended but I thought the article was ridiculous.

Ha! Spoke too soon! On its way.

PM on Cyrille

Finally placed my order via Amazon Prime today but alas no shipping notice as there ought to have been. Damn.

Yeah, I saw the blurb at Restructures but thanks for posting it. I'd so love to hear it.

I was flipping through Forces In Motion and was reminded: just what the he'll came of the massive solo box set that Locke recounts in the book? I don't have it in front of me but I'll check the details when I get home. Braxton recorded I think 8 or 10 LPs of solo saxophone music for release. The discography lists a label and tracklist but obviously this never came out. Where is this stuff and who owns it? THAT would be a major release.

I recommend this: Royal Roost airshots on disc 1, Paris 1949 on disc 2. About $3 on Amazon.

A double dose of Black jazz on ECM: Leo Smith - Divine Love Jack DeJohnette Special Edition - Inflation Blues

In the past, I maintained and anything and everything stance toward acquiring Mosaics. I've since changed my tune and have decided to stick only to sets that a) contain large amounts of material available nowhere else (Andrew Hill & Carter-Bradford Selects) or that would be almost impossible to assemble from original sources (Tal Farlow) or when this isn't necessarily the case b) artists whom are among my absolute favorite (Hank Mobley, Anthony Braxton, Gerry Mulligan). This is most certainly the latter and I will definitely be getting it.

Have you sold a lot on ebay before? If not, be warned: they will keep your earnings for a month or more if you're using PayPal. I didn't know this going in and was pissed to find out. Even when they have tracking information for the package and it displays as 'delivered' you will still not get your money for sometimes weeks. I don't know how they can do that, but they do.

I've been wanting to know a good source for them as I'm interested in racking up the Armstrongs. Anybody? There's an Ebay seller with the available volumes of the Louis series for a shade under $30 each. Good deal?

In regards to the Eddie Johnson being found more easily in the Midwest, this is probably true. I've noticed that record shops in Chicago always majorly underprice records from Chicago labels, maybe for this reason. I got mine from Dusty Groove for 3 bucks. I've also seen Thrill Jockey, etc. vinyl in the $2-5 range at Reckless.
