Great album but you could make a pretty penny with it these days.

Great news!

Dusty Groove keeps new & recent releases pretty well-stocked https://www.dustygroove.com/label/131295

One that kinda flies under the radar, and is now pretty hard to come by cheaply on any format, is Groovin' High. Leftovers from the Space Book and Blues Book sessions, but the alt take of "The Second" is so killer. One of my favorite Ervin discs that you should definitely check out if you haven't. Byard's solo on that cut is especially mind-melting.

It looks like DG will be getting copies in eventually: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/141881/Karl-Berger-Kirk-Knuffke:Heart-Is-A-Melody?incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date

Another vote for the 1954 set, as prime as can be.

It seems to have gone away now, and the same price is applying only to the 2xCD, it doesn't look like the box is listed by Amazon anymore. FWIW I received a fully-sealed copy of the box, original hype stickers and all.

Don't think we have a dedicated Hal Russell thread but this is as good as any. Weasel recently restored this film on Hal that has some very valuable footage both of him speaking on his life and work and of the NRG ensemble in action. Great, great stuff. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

from the website: maybe he should consider extending that priority to not wasting the world's resources printing Out To Lunch on CD

This is now at $27. I ordered one Saturday and it arrived yesterday: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKR6V1ZV?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_Z4N0PKT8D1XQK720A9ZD&fbclid=IwAR31Rw5OTDVmWXEahnaL3cY3W_PqpR1so675prWj8zF9mnUsgvHIKKKP5zY

I've really been enjoying this one, everyone is right in the zone throughout. https://daveliebmanlive.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-smalls

very affordable copy here https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/2403755891

Both are complete and in good condition. The Peterson is the 1992 edition with outer slipcase and booklet SOLD Django Reinhardt - Django On The Radio (JSP, 5xCD) SOLD Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends (MPS, 4xCD) $20 shipped each

I'd be interested in that arrangement as well, but no worries if not. I will take these, with the caveat that I need to check on Jazz Sahara when I get home. Abdul-Malik ,Ahmed Jazz Sahara $8 Johnny Griffin Abrams ,Muhal Richard/Favors Sightsong $8 Adams ,Pepper 10 to 4 at the 5 Spot $6 Ammons ,Gene/Stitt Boss Tenors in Orbit $6 digipak

They were all over the place shortly after the Concord sale. In addition to Oldies and Newbury, where I bought dozens, they were also sold as cutouts at bookstores in my area, and a local jazz-centric record shop marked them down in favor of the new RVG and Keepnews editions.

I agree. I think for the combination of quality and scarcity of the material this is one of the very best Mosaic sets period.

He's on fire here, but yes, it's very hard to find now:

Yep, it's part of this same initiative.

A friend had this confirmed by one of the producers a few months back. My assumption is it will be LP and CD just like Blue World, Both Directions At Once, and Live In Seattle. There is also an Alice/Pharoah live tape project being assembled.

PM: Barry Guy – The Passing (Maya) Hot End – Do Tell: The Music of Julius Hemphill (Amirani) Wadada Leo Smith/Sabu Toyozumi – Burning Meditation (No Business) Jurgen Wuchner/Rudi Mahall/Jorg Fischer – In Memoriam Buschi Niebergall (Sporeprint) Markus Eichenberger & Christoph Galio – Unison Polyphony (Ezz-Thetics)

I found a copy of Songs & Dances last year, the first one I've ever seen for sale. A very nice disc indeed, it would be great if more people could hear it.

I had the fortune of visiting Amoeba in both LA and San Francisco over the last year. In each case I walked out with a massive pile of jazz CDs, nearly all between $2-8, many of them things I've been searching for high & low for years. If I lived there I'd run out of space in my house within months.

Just noticed this one while I was filing some things away yesterday: 3 Points and A Mountain ... Plus FMP CD 107 Brötzmann- Mengelberg - Benning

I still buy several a year this way, but I am finding people are becoming ever more precious about the Limited Edition ones. Somehow even Blue Note RVG CDs are starting to get very pricy in some cases. Highly ironic and absurd as they're less in demand than ever. Algorithms and Discogs have convinced everyone they have a big payday just around the corner.
