I finally found a copy of Free Form while browsing in Philly and grabbed it. Only been through it once so far, but I enjoy it very much. Glad to finally get my hands on it.

I would indeed drop $60 on the Merrill, but $400 on the Kirk is way out of line.

Man, I wish those old Mercury box sets weren't so expensive.

For God sakes, get the Pres!! As for the thread title, I wish!

Updated.

I have it paired w/ the Chick Corea session which is indeed much better.

As a music buyer, I'm not picky. I have a limited budget so I buy used more often than anything, and vinyl can be very cheap. Thus I buy it when I see a title I want for a good price, despite whatever CD issue might be available-- just don't care about that sort of thing.

All CDs are in fine condition. Shipping included. PM if you're interested. Paul Bley - Solo In Mondsee (BMG Ed.) $6 Cecil Taylor - Port of Call (The World of Cecil Taylor + 2 tracks from New York City R&B) $4 Don Cherry - Symphony For Improvisers (RVG) $7SOLD Don Cherry - Where Is Brooklyn? (Connoisseur Ed.) $8SOLD Hampton Hawes Quartet/Freddie Redd Trio - Piano East-Piano West (OJC Limited Ed., sawcut) $5SOLD

Nope, it was at 'Running Low'.

I'm sure everyone will have their chance!

I saw one or two Ventura/Phillips sets on Ebay the other day. Is that not an option?

FYI, True Blue is selling single discs from their Illinois Jacquet (MD4-145) and Bunny Berrigan (MD7-219) sets for $8.98 apiece. The discs represent the Complete RCA Recordings and Complete Parlophone Recordings respectively. I picked them up, 'cause why not.

Quit telling us about these deals, dammit!! I'm still waiting for the Mingus Debut box to hit liquidation, though.

Hm, I love Ornette (trumpet & violin playing included) and ultimately dislike the session w/ Jackie.

The availability of 'Where Is Brooklyn' as a Conn has probably dented the value of that set (on CD - I'm sure the vinyl is still strongly in demand). Great set to have, nevertheless ! Indeed, and I even had all three albums in their Conn/RVG editions, but why pass up a chance to throw another black box in the row? Though I did just see one go for just over $100 on ebay the other day.

Anyone like Freddie Redd enough to pay $125 per CD? http://cgi.ebay.com/Mosaic-FREDDIE-REDD-Co...mQQptZMusic_CDs?

Just skimmed this at the bookstore yesterday. Really fantastic and evocative stuff.

As a person who more or less dislikes funk/soul jazz and especially dislikes organ jazz (with the stereotypical exceptions-- Larry Young, some John Patton, Baby Face Willette's Blue Notes), would I enjoy this set? I see that there is organ on every session, but it also seems like Braith takes the music a bit more outside, and the inclusion of Grant Green interests me further as I especially enjoy his collaborations with Larry Young. Granted, I'll probably get it anyways, but I would still like to get some opinions.

Also, maybe they would have less problems if they didn't list their regular CDs at $19.99. Just a suggestion. Reminds me of Blockbuster Music back in the '90s. Insane prices. I remember seeing the Beatles Red and Blue albums and the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks set selling for forty dollars.

Went to mine, which is closing also; same junk they had last time I went (6 months ago). The only decent stuff they had were a few box sets (Parker Dial/Savoy, Evans Secret Sessions, Pepper Hollywood Sessions, Miles 65-68, Ornette Atlantic), but not at a price that made them at all worth my while.

No idea about remastering, but I can say that I listened to Our Man In Jazz and it sounded weirdly good-- Bob Cranshaw was right there.

With a brand new Columbia edition of the complete Stockholm 1960 set?

No Now's The Time. http://www.sonnyrollins.com/cd_view.php?cd_id=38 That's definitely a great deal for waht you get, but somewhere, somehow you gotta have Now's The Time too, I think. Ah, thanks. Hard to keep them all straight as their availability is so sporadic.

Not much in the booklet about his debt but he has spoken about this before, namely in Lock's Forces In Motion.

I should say all of his RCA albums-- the extra material found on the 6xCD Complete RCA-Victor recordings set is obviously lacking.
