Here's one I always wish coulda been

Roots & Folklore!

That RCA-Novus set everyone's been clamoring for ...

While we're re-compiling stuff that already came out on CD in the 90s, why not eh?

Finally, all those great Tutu recordings in one place ...

I really enjoy that Hendrickson/Gisler as well. The Koglmann album is also absolutely fantastic, assuming one enjoys his 90s work. Just bought the Lovens/Koch from Squidco this afternoon, should be a good one indeed. I love the Judith Wegmann - Le Souffle du Temps II - Réflexion disc from last year, on the non-jazz side of things.

I would be curious to know that myself. I know he worked with the Ayler estate on the hatOLOGY CDs, so I would hope that's carrying through. I have bought a few things from the new series that I already had; the one recommendation I can make with certainty is that the Porto Novo remaster is a huge improvement on the Arista LP and Black Lion CD. I'm looking forward to the Blood & Touching release because I think that will be the same story.

Yep, Mandala is a live recording that was previously unheard until release. This is from the extremely rare 1966 Landsdowne studio LP Pendulum: https://www.discogs.com/Mike-Taylor-Quartet-Pendulum/master/256719

Extremely frustratingly, as I feared, the whole of the Pendulum LP has been withheld from this release except for 1 track, while bafflingly, 3 selections by Cream have been appended. I would think if you were going so far as to include that bullshit for the sake of completism, you could expand to 2 discs to include everything.

Same boat. Got my "warehouse dispatch" notice more than two weeks ago, but still not in the mail system yet. I have to say I genuinely don't understand the process at play here.

Yes. Both editions of the regular Enja CD are the same, however:

A few recent & upcoming releases of note (to me, at least): -Joelle Leandre - Beauty Resistance - Brand new 3xCD set in duo/quartet with Zlatko Kaucic, Rafal Mazur, Mateusz Rybicki, and Zbigniew Kozera https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/85696/joelle-leandre/beauty-resistance -Liudas Mackunas - Residency At Bitches Brew - duo & trio encounters with a spate of Japanese improvisers https://nobusinessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/liudas-mock-nas-in-residency-at-bitches-brew -Bisio/Knuffke/Lonberg-Holm, Easy Axis (Allen Lowe, Matthew Shipp, Gerald Cleaver, and Kevin Ray), Larry Ochs/Donald Robinson duo all upcoming on ESP in June https://espdisk.bandcamp.com/music -Simon Nabatov & Brandon Seabrook - Voluptuaries http://www.leorecords.com/?m=select&id=CD_LR_894 - Harri Sjöström, Andrea Centazzo, Sergio Armaroli, Giancarlo Schiaffini, Mattias Bauer - Orbits https://harrisjostrom.bandcamp.com/album/orbits and Steps https://harrisjostrom.bandcamp.com/album/steps and Lost Idols https://ictusrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lost-idols ... Centazzo has a wealth of new/newly released music on his bandcamp -Irene Schweizer & Hamid Drake - Celebration https://www.intaktrec.ch/363.htm -IST w/ John Butcher - A More Attractive Way 5xCD archive set https://www.confrontrecordings.com/ist-a-more-attractive-way

Keep refreshing but nothing yet. Can't wait.

I missed out on that New Life Trio, it's sold out now and people are trying to flip it for ridiculous sums already. The label confirmed they will be re-pressing it, so I'll keep my eyes out.

Meant to say Six Views of the Blues, pictured above!

The Jimmy Smith was part of a 1999 mini subseries of sessions that had never been released in any form. In total it was: Jimmy Smith - Cool Blues Bobby Hutcherson - The Kicker Dizzy Reece - Comin' On Lou Donaldson - Man With A Horn Grant Green - Blues For Lou Art Blakey - Drums Around The Corner v/a - The Lost Sessions I'm glad to have them all, but imo only the Reece stands up on its own; the rest are nice but a bit below average vs. the leaders' other output.

The first CD copy of Steve Lacy/Don Cherry's Evidence I bought had a different album on it. I'm assuming it was another Prestige or OJC family label title, but at the time I couldn't pick it out.

Knew I was forgetting something! I do have this on the Prestige twofer CD with Bird On 52nd St. Much appreciation for the various recommendations! Some good leads to follow.

Definitely have this!

I'm sure this thread has been done before, but if you'll humor me, I'm wondering if there are any particularly notable Bird CDs you'd recommend for someone such as myself who already has the following: Label Box Sets: -Complete Savoy & Dial (official Savoy and Stash issues, respectively) -Complete Verve (official issue) -Complete Live Performances on Savoy (official issue) Blue Note Issue CDs: -Washington Concerts -Bird At The Hi Hat -Bird & Diz At Carnegie Hall -Charlie Parker At Storyville Various other: -The Quintet - Jazz At Massey Hall -Charlie Parker (Bird At St. Nicks/Bird On 52nd Street) -Live Performances (ESP) -Rara Avis (Stash) -Bird You Never Heard (Stash) -Town Hall, New York City June 22, 1945 (Uptown) Not looking to go the total completist route, but always open to having more to hear.

More vinyl, but I'm glad they pressed this up: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/979417?kwfilter=Alan+Braufman&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&sort_order=artist Streaming version is here: https://alanbraufman.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-wkcr-may-22-1972
