I like this set for a maybe more concentrated dose of this music. One disc instrumental, one with Ella. It begins a bit earlier than the Mosaic.
The same series has a Lunceford 2xCD that overlaps with the Mosaic:

Obviously a million things out there, but I don't personally know of any compilations on vinyl that are small-group only. The Verve 2xLPs from the mid-70s intermix the strings & Latin stuff. That said, the original Clef albums Swedish Schnapps, Now's The Time, and Charlie Parker (only available on vinyl as 10"-- the Verve Master CD expands it quite a bit) are all in the small group format and are all 3, of course, some of the finest concentrated blasts of jazz music in existence.

Ordered. $40 U.S. dollars / no mention of any 7” EP thankfully
Yes, no skin off my back but since it didn't seem to affect the overall price its presence wouldn't bother me. Looking forward to digging into this one.

3xCD + 7" Gush set just out on Not Two. Looks quite nice:
Edit: it appears that since this morning the vinyl EP add-on has been scrapped(?)

Moosicus will be releasing Marion's excellent Calig LPs on CD next month:

All in with shipping, it came to $67.63. I had nothing else in my order.
Thanks. Not bad at all!

The Tolliver Select has arrived. Thanks again for the tip
How much was it?

As far as I know that is indeed his last recording— there is one on the El Negocito label recorded a few days before in Brussels called The Alto Sessions.
I agree that the discs with Edwards and Sanders are remarkably strong and form a fitting bookend to his career. His piano playing is especially inspired.
Here is a photo from the residency:

You know, I never got deeply into Chapin (not out of dislike, just never followed the threads) and could probably use some recommendations too. I do have his first LP on Alacra though he advanced as a horn player quite far from those initial recordings.
You can get the Alive box set for about $40 or less these days, so it's hard not to recommend that. Of the albums therein Night Bird Song is my pick if there could be just one. The 3xCD Never Let Me Go - Quartets '95 & '96 is astounding. Beyond that there are two way out duo recordings-- Inversions with Borah Bergman (MuWorks) and Crossing Points with William Hooker (NoBusiness), where you could easily mistake him for Brötzmann in a blindfold test.

Chapin was amazing, I cannot imagine being let down by any of his albums, especially the KF ones.

Close call between Impulse years 1 & 2, but I ultimately chose 2. It has very little to do with the sidemen of that era, rather it is the intensity and urgency of Trane's playing. The ideas and the ability to execute on them, although I have no idea what he is doing in a technical sense. Among my favorite jazz ever recorded.
My answer as well, though I will go so far as to say it is my favorite jazz ever recorded. Luckily there is a great wealth of material available from just two years of work, I never tire of any of it.

Word has come down— one of the true originals in this music is no longer. I am heartened that he lived a long life amidst great adversity and was able to leave us with so much of himself here on earth.

Great performance by Joe McPhee, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and Stefan Gonzalez in Dallas last night. Joe was as spry and lively as ever, playing as inimitably as ever. Truly a gift to share the room with him.

I gave a cursory listen to this upcoming release today and will revisit it:

@clifford_thornton I will run through the newish RogueArt with Shipp & Butcher again soon. I loved the Fataka release when it came out but this didn’t do a ton for me during the few spins I gave it. Maybe just wasn’t in the right headspace at the time.

Waiting on two of the Ni Vu Ni LPs
Not only available on LP, they're available as downloads too
Correct, that's how I listened. Would prefer these on CDs but oh well.

Just to update the thread a bit, Butcher has played on many albums from the last few years that I've really enjoyed-- possibly moreso than ever:
-Last Dream of the Morning - two discs on Relative Pitch & Trost
-Blasphemious Fragments (Rastascan) w/ Gino Robair & Phil Minton
-Fictional Souvenirs (Astral Spirits) w/ Pat Thomas & Ståle Liavik Solberg
-Low Yellow (Jazzwerkstatt) w/ Wilbert de Joode & Martin Blume
-Frisque Concordance - Distinct Machinery (Random Acoustics)
-We met- and then (Relative Pitch) w/ Barre Phillips & Ståle Liavik Solberg
-But Everything Now Left Before It Arrived (Meena) w/ John Russell & Dominic Lash
-Sounds Of Assembly (Meena) w/ Jennifer Allum, Ute Kanngiesser, & Eddie Prévost
-Discernment (Spoonhunt) w/ Dominc Lash, John Russell, & Mark SandersAnd then of course the 5xLP box set on Ni Vu Ni Connu, which was uniformly excellent but unfortunately only available on LP
The only one that fell a bit flat to me was the reunion with Shipp & Lehn on RogueArt. -
Great clips of Altena playing solo here alongside performance artist Teo Joling
-
Great price on that William Parker box. A beautiful package with tremendous music throughout, really essential stuff and getting hard to find.

Not sure it's possible to go wrong, he's a tremendous musician. He does have a bit of a two-part career, working within free improvisation and then onto composed music for medium-sized ensembles, which may be the part that's better known due to the ubiquity of the hat ART discs. Those are all uniformly excellent; some are original recordings and some are reissues of Claxon LPs, and he has many more on that label. Miere is a favorite but all of them that I've heard are good. There are also some quartet LPs, of which I have only heard Pisa.
As for the free improvisation years I find these to be standouts. Unfortunately much of this work has not been reissued and is not easy to get ahold of these days. I would like to see that change someday.
-Handicaps & Tuning The Bass (ICP): perhaps the most idiosyncratic of the "early" free solo bass LPs. They’re not discussed as much as those by Barre Phillips, Barry Guy, or Peter Kowald, but it's just as great. Badly need reissue.
-Lumps (ICP): wild album with Steve Lacy, Han Bennink, & Michael Waisvisz. Again, I truly cannot believe no one has ever reissued this.
-The Weavers (Po Torch): trio with Gunter Christmann & Paul Lovens. perhaps my favorite Po Torch record
-The Fairly Young Bean (Emanem): very fun 1981 miniatures with Terry Day and John Russell
-High, Low And Order (Claxon, later reissued on CD by hat ART): great duet with Lacy-- really among the great sax/bass duet albums
-Two Making A Triangle (FMP): duet with Peter Kowald that was reissued in part with the Barry Guy duo LP on the Bass Duets CD.
He can also be heard to great advantage on several Company recordings, Nedly Elstak's The Machine (ESP-Disk), an FMP duet with Tristan Honsinger, Burton Greene's amazing Célesphere (Futura), in a few of Gunter Christmann's Vario groups and in Brueker's Kollektief (this music is a blind spot of mine, so I can't precisely vouch for it specifically).
Anyways, an unsung master of his instrument.
Can also add to the pile the two volume Bead LP Groups In Front of People with Christmann, Lovens, Peter Cusack, and Guus Janssen, also in need of reissue.

Well, Milford also had two separate but related museum retrospectives (one in Philly, one in NY/LA) in the US during the last few years. Milford is also more of a story, via the Full Mantis documentary and other cultural appearances, to those outside the music and a recognizable name among hip cognoscenti. Obviously he is a great musician and a fascinating figure, but the cache is there too -- Silva, who I find just as fascinating for similar and different reasons, does not have the cache.
Silva absolutely needs his due.

Blue Serge is as good as it gets to me. Also worth checking out Fable of Mabel (with Twardzik) for some progressive bop that fits in alongside the RCA Jazz Workshop arranger-forward type stuff i.e. Billy Byers, Hal McKusick, George Russell etc. Even reminiscent in a way of early Mingus.

Speaking of all that, does anyone know is Chusid would have ownership of the Horo sessions? Those are at the top of my wishlist for reissue, I'd love to have the whole of them on a CD set.
