Cut-outs. They get the same overstock as FYE.

AS a 5xCD set I think that's pretty reasonable. I just meant the pricing is off in relation to the other 3 volumes.

http://aboptv.com/ceciltaylorartmuseum.html If I had $500 I'd ... track down a copy of Berlin '88. But if I had another $500 I'd definitely devote it to this worthy cause.

Unless the packaging is somehow different, that's complete crap. But maybe that price point is just what it takes to get this set on the market in 2011.

Cecil Taylor - Solo (Trio/Japan only LP, 1973) $3.96 http://www.amazon.com/Solo/dp/B003XJ95PG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1311346404&sr=8-3

Wow. I got mine for $25 used not long after moving to Austin a few years ago. Seemed like a reasonable price at the time! Market's not getting any better on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTHONY-BRAXTON-WILLISAU-QUARTET-1991-hat-4CD-/320726968202?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D1%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1430918513608068819#ht_735wt_948

Right, but wasn't Expression ready to go before he died?

Edit: Dusty Groove to the rescue! They will be following the LP sequence: Expression/Live At The Village Vanguard Again/Om/Cosmic Music/Selflessness

I welcome the release as well, but am wary of the price. I paid less than $40 for the other boxes on release day from a small independent shop. Assuming this one is the same layout & everything, $65 is an enormous rip-off. As for the contents, At The Village Vanguard Again! and Expression are certain; how they handle the posthumous releases is something I wonder about. Will they follow vinyl releases or just deal with the titles previously released on CD? If the latter is the case, my guess on the other three are Sun Ship, Transition and Interstellar Space, but Om, First Meditations and Cosmic Music could also be possible?

Nice. I nabbed that for $8 myself a couple years back.

I've been wanting to place this very order. Payday is tomorrow, so ...

Yeah, that's it, keep going ... Basically, that is what I've heard. I do like Sonny, but I see what you're saying. Now I can downgrade my urge to "See what I feel when it hits Running Low"

Went on with this one... into CD4 by now - great! Blargh ... yet another set on my 'bypass' list that I now feel an insatiable urge to own.

The boxes are also just a glossy photo pasted on a box, not embossed like earlier versions. And the prices are little better than secondhand. Thumbs down.

Mr. Braxton is known to be a voracious record buyer and listener. I find him to be especially conversant in jazz records, which many musicians aren't always (in jazz and beyond).

Sonny Clark w/ Ike Quebec, "Deep In A Dream" off Leapin' & Lopin' which I listened to for the first time. Exceptional, like everything Ike did at the time.

The Bennik/Doran/Anderson and One Great Day are out. I stumbled on this bit from a Ken Peplowski blindfold test that's got me very excited to hear the Carter-Bradford that will be out in the next batch:

Verve indeed. I handled a copy once (didn't buy it-- stupid) and I remember it being thick, glossy and gatefold, very Impulse!

Huh, I did not realize that. Very Impulse!-like in appearance.

Oliver Nelson Full Nelson/Sound Pieces would have been cool. The 70s Marion Browns? A couple of the later Keith Jarretts? Sam Rivers? Max Roach? Dewey Redman? Many missed opportunities here, seems to me.

Much talk about the Quinchette session these last couple days, so: Disc 3.

When it comes to Cecil, what is "open" anyways?. But I don't think it's any secret or speculative in any way. I did not know about Fats Navarro. That's interesting. There is also Chris Connor.

Cecil Taylor, of course.

PM on Argharta & Pangea.
