Steve Kuhn - Mostly Coltrane Miroslav Vitous - Remembering Weather Report They're not on the Jazz New Releases page.

I've never had a problem with them, but I agree that, aside from a few BN titles that I should be whipped for not yet owning, my 40-some item queue is bogged down by "3 star" material. Tho I'm glad to see those two ECM titles finally show up.

OK, I swear to GOD that is the last thing I'm buying for a month... (btw shipping was kinda steep at ESP)

Yes.

I very much like Tristano's New York Improvisations a trio set with Peter Ind and a drummer whose name escapes me. NYI was the title when it was released on an Elektra LP in the 70s. It's out in a different form now, but I don't recall the most recent title.

How about a complete Prestige Recordings set. There's one to crush the shelves.

Pathetic.

I used refund money from the broken Minimalism of Erik Satie I received earlier this week and got Ne Plus Ultra and The Dark Tree to make up for my disappointment.

I got an e-mail from Amazon for this this morning. Looks just like the Parker Master Takes set. I wish it was just Verve releasing this so I could get it on YourMusic.

Also check the great video of Cherry, Hancock, Carter, and Higgins playing "Bemsha Swing" in '86.

Must...resist...urge...to...buy.....

Anyone know where I can get this set for a decent price? Or is the $40 being asked on Amazon about the best I can do? I suppose that's not so bad for 4 discs of great music, but I still feel like I could do better.

I just got a copy of The Minimalism of Erik Satie in the mail from an ebay auction and the disc was broken completely in half So annoyed. I have been looking for this forever and managed to get it at a reasonable price. SIGH.

Spirits Rejoice is my favorite Ayler. Definitely essential if you don't have it. The version of "Angels" is extraordinary.

Yeah, reading his notes to The Complete Blue Note Fifties Sessions "humble" was not really a word that came to mind. But I agree with Chuck on his latter point, and the Blue Note 2xCD is one of my most treasured recordings.

Maybe, but it's definitely around. Most new copies I've seen list at $9.99, but Amazon has several copies for under a dollar.

Got mine today, too. Thanks!

The single disc '44-46 collection excerpted from the larger box is similarly a fine purchase.

Also, why not a George Russell Decca Select with New York, New York (1959), Jazz in the Space Age (1960), George Russell Sextet at the Five Spot (1960) and George Russell Sextet in KC (1961). While all have appeared on CD in some form or another, none are readily available in the US.

Ha! Sorry, don't have those on hand at the moment ... I wonder how much I'll end up paying for that Shank/Cooper in the end ...

Anything else you might consider letting that one go for?

That Horace set sure has 9 lives.

I would love to see such a McKusick set, but I think the availability of a Lone Hill compilation with some of those albums makes that project somewhat moot, irritating as that is.

Yeah, I think Amazon is offering out of print titles.

Yeah, interesting.
