Not so much crazy price-wise, but one to drool over-- all 3 volumes of Commodore, sealed: http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPLETE-COMMODORE-JAZZ-MOSAIC-LPs-VOL-1-3-SEALED-/190464897266?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2c5897b0f2#ht_1601wt_1137

Are you referring to The Braxton Quartet Plays Braxton "on" Music & Arts? Because I have yet to find evidence of this one's existence. Another problem I have with the last edition is the inclusion of so many records that are so ridiculously out of print that it's just frustrating to read about how great and essential they are (The Baptised Traveller for instance).

A shame, I was really looking forward to a new edition but I feared there would not be one after Cook's passing ... it appears that I'm right.

Alright, I've sent the link to those who asked for it and CDs should be with people shortly. Anyone else may feel free to request a link and I'll send it by. One note about the link. When I clicked on it in the PMs I sent, this: <br%20/> was tacked onto the end for some reason. Just delete that part of the link and it should take you to the right place. If it says the download is unavailable, just refresh and it should work. Hopefully this is the last of the trouble with all that. I hope you all enjoy the music.

Greetings. Sorry for the delay in having the test available. I will post a download and send out discs tomorrow!

Indeed! The version of "Too Close For Comfort" is a favorite rendition of a favorite tune. And Danny Richmond is always worth hearing.

Wow, between the Threadgill, Rivers, Ellington, Henderson and Lunceford sets, it sounds like a new golden age at Mosaic!

Sold.

Randy Weston Disc 3.

$65 shipped, fine condition.

If you're looking to fill in some holes, there is a wealth of Braxton for auction on ebay with low starting prices. Some very rare titles. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?rt=nc&LH_Auction=1&_nkw=anthony+braxton&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301

Great!

Don't worry, there's some tenor in the mix.

Especially after having listened to Out to Lunch the past couple days, my unequivocal answer would be Dolphy.

Sign up here for next month's Blindfold Test. I can begin sending out downloads and discs next week. I hope that you all enjoy this one. I've decided to focus in on the clarinet, which was something of a challenge given the relatively limited range of performers to choose from. But I think I've come up with something enjoyable that will also have some scratching their heads (though I fear my pre-war selections stand no chance against JeffCrom's iron ear).

Agreed re: Movie Mars. Of all the companies mentioned, they're the worst at listing items they don't really have.

VAO - The Minimalism of Erik Satie and Bley/Peacock/Koglmann - Annette are out now.

Ellis Larkins Decca/Storyville?

Oh, I meant nothing by it. Those are just some personal favorite discs and I can't imagine letting them go myself. But to each his own, of course!

Ha! I liked the album very much back when, but never that much! & the Gastr Del Sol is indeed a winner.

I can't find takers anywhere for this stuff, but I can't help but feel it's of SOME value, so before slogging my way over to Ebay, I'll just see if there any interest at all here. Shipping will be 2.00 per title, less for multiple items. LPs Wreckless Eric 10" - $8 Jason Molina - Let Me Go ... - $10 The Prisoners - A Taste of Pink! - $20 UK Squeeze (red vinyl) - $8 The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - $8 Malcolm McLaren - Duck Rock - $8 CDs Fred Frith - Guitar Solos - $8 Au Pairs - Sense & Sensuality - $8 Gastr Del Sol - Upgrade & Afterlife - $5 dump (Yo La Tengo's James McNew) - that skinny motherfucker with the high voice? - $12 Lifter Puller (pre-Hold Steady) - Fiestas & Fiascos - $10

Ack, please tell me you have back-up copies of the Cecil Taylor discs!

I finally got the Best Of disc in the mail and love it. I'll certainly spring for at least one of these.

You know, once when I was getting some fillings done (which was not so much painful and very, very uncomfortable -- and slightly painful) I concentrated on some pieces from Tony Williams' Lifetime album which proved a nice distraction. I would recommend that one.
