Incredible.

I would agree with this. Lots of 1970s Tapscott music available, not so much from the 90s. I personally also find it musically more interesting as well.

Noticed this in a New World ad in the new Point of Departure. Very very intriguing! No information on the NW site yet that I can see.

My favorites: Tomeka Reid/Joe Morris - Combinations; one of my 2 or 3 favorite pure improv records from this year. Really tremendous. Roscoe Mitchell - No Side Effects; my favorite of the RM titles on RA that I've heard; I find some of his other output for the label to be a little unremarkable Joshua Abrams Quartet - Unknown Known; incredible session with David Boykins, Jason Adasiewicz, and Frank Rosaly. In the pocket at all times, just awesome. Nicole Mitchell's Sonic Projections - Secret Escapades of Velvet Anderson; makes a fine pairing with the Abrams above, very spiritual Jacques Coursil/Alan Silva - FreeJazzArt; a rare-ish chance to hear two masters at work in their advanced years, exceptional Robert Dick/Tiffany Chang - Raise The River; wide-ranging flute & percussion duets Tarbaby + Oliver Lake & Marc Ducret - Fanon; passionate and fascinating Jeff Albert Instigation Quartet - The Tree On The Mound; fun out quartet date elevated by the great Kidd Jordan, who you often don't get to hear with another horn The Turbine + Cappozzo/Garcin/Wm Parker - Entropy/Enthalpy; 2 bass/2 drums group (thankfully imo) expanded any of the Tiger Trio dates, if you enjoy any of the players (which I do quite a bit, esp. Myra Melford) Also hard to go wrong with any of the Steve Swell, Rob Brown, Jemeel Moondoc, or Matthew Shipp dates. There are still plenty others I need to hear as well.

He contributed memorably to Ran Blake's Chris Connor and Claude Chabrol albums on Impulse!, which were both recorded in 2012 and released a couple years later. And of course he plays wonderfully on The Short Life of Barbara Monk and That Certain Feeling, also with Blake. I especially enjoy his sideman appearances on Mal Waldron's two excellent, underrated Soul Note albums The Crowd Scene and Where Are You (both recorded in 1989). I don't recall him having a lot of solo space on Lacy's Vespers or Beaver Harris' A Well Kept Secret, but they're both very good records he plays on all the same.

Very much looking forward to this: https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-tone-has-no-sound

Yeah we shall see. I set up an In-Stock notice. Feel like it's got to be some kind of sign that they updated the listing, but we've been here before of course!

I'm stunned. Very sad news.

We have a cover! https://www.dustygroove.com/item/944626?incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date

Wondering if anyone has CD of this title they’d be willing to sell; it’s the last of the CT Candid material I need and I sold my LP a bit ago. It’s proving curiously hard to find at the moment.

One of the great American originals, through and through.

Nice! Thanks. I was preparing to feel stupid there but I definitely don't think I could've recognized either of them!

Pretty incredible footage here of 3 performances -w/ Parker & Gayle, 1991 -w/ Parker & Brotzmann, 1988 -w/ Trio In Dojo, 1988 Can anyone ID the 2 other musicians in the last trio?

Keep an eye on Discogs, Mosaics are routinely cheaper there than they ever were on ebay, just a matter of them coming up for sale sometimes. I've definitely seen the TKM in the very reasonable ~150< range

Oleo without a doubt!

Listened to Nation Time and Tenor/Fallen Angels so far this morning and see no reason not to keep going! Also read this excellent piece that just came out: https://realdemocracymovement.org/exciting-times-dangerous-times/

Wondering if anyone has copies of the following CDs they'd be willing to sell: SORTED John Surman/John Warren - Tales of The Algonquin (Deram 844 883-2, 1998) or (Vocalion CDSML 8410, 2005) Roland Kirk & Al Hibbler - Meeting of the Times (Atlantic Masters 8122-73689-2, 2004) Thanks!

FWIW the only generally available CD issue was on Black Lion; no 1201 CD. Certainly a great candidate for reissue, ideally with the OG Polydor cover!

zzzzzzzzzz

Can't say anything in the latest upcoming NB batch is jumping out at me but I will put in a high recommendation for the Modern Jazz Quintet Karlsruhe/Four Men Only box, tons of great music on there.

A few years ago I had every Ran Blake recording, but I've fallen behind on his last several releases. I think that's about as close as I've got. I am at over 100 Lacy albums, but that's not even 50%. If I think about musicians where I run close to 100% I guess Jimmy Giuffre, Gunter Christmann, John Carter, Julius Hemphill, Fred Anderson, and Kidd Jordan come to mind first. I don't know that I could ever find the motivation to get *every* single thing by any musician above a handful of releases. There's always a few things in there that don't pique my interest enough to own, or there are simply far too many to try. I do, however, try to complete certain label runs. I have every Braxton, Koglmann, Cecil, and McPhee release on Hat Hut, every Andrew Hill and Jackie McLean on Blue Note, and every Cecil on FMP. I am also gunning towards a complete catalog of FMP CDs-- 100 and change down out of the run of ~150. And speaking of Christmann and FMP, I would love to have every Edition Explico title, but that will be an uphill battle (I have a little over half currently). Braxton's Leo releases of the 90s and 00s alone feels like a lifetime commitment.

Two Solo Pieces is pretty high up there in the pantheon for me. RIP indeed.

Yeah that's the problem, none of the options containing the full session are exactly cheap. But good to have it on the radar.

Scanned this thread and didn't see any mention of this session, which I somehow just heard about a few days ago: "Just a month after Unity, Shaw returned as a leader—with Young and Joe Henderson—to Rudy Van Gelder’s studio under the auspices of Alfred Lion. The sessions never came out on Blue Note, but appeared much later on Muse as In the Beginning. Producer Michael Cuscuna told me, “Alfred gave the tapes back to Woody when Blue Note was about to be sold to Liberty Records. Woody told me about the tapes, and we finally sold them to Joe Fields in the late ’70s after Woody had signed with Columbia.” Seems in retrospect a great shame Cuscuna didn't hold on to these to release on Blue Note. I will absolutely have to track this one down in one form or another.

That’s the one I need! I’ll PM.
