These are the last 2 Miles Prestige discs I need and they're proving surprisingly difficult to track down domestically for a fair price. Wondering if anyone has any spares they would be willing to sell. Miles Davis and Horns OJCCD-053-2 Quintet/Sextet OJCCD-012-2 Thanks! edit: turns out I already had one!

Big thumbs up to those 2 John Lindberg discs. Also like the Ada Rave, Sei Miguel (Five Stories), and Butcher/Solberg ones. And of course the Malaby Tamarindo and Tubacello records are fantastic, especially the former which is easily one of the best records on the whole label.

FYI Dusty Groove has started stocking Not Two releases. They currently have the Barry Guy Odes & Meditations box and the Not Two But Twenty box for very nice prices. The former has been very hard to get in the US. https://www.dustygroove.com/label/129023

I would second the recommendation for Garden(s). Also worth looking out for Lazro's duos with Joe McPhee (Elan Impulse on In Situ) and Joelle Leandre (Hasparren on NoBusiness), both excellent.

If anyone is in need, there is a very reasonably priced box and booklet for the Cecil Taylor set on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1137249231

I have a Jackie McLean booklet that I would happy trade for a CD burn of the High Frequency session

Very cool, never seen the original tape issue before.

So the vinyl only has 3 of the 6 tracks?

Do appreciate the offer, but prefer the CD in this case 👍

Wondering if anyone has a copy of the Gitanes/EmArcy issue of this CD they'd be willing to sell:

Yep. I wasn't aware of those earlier issues, but I can see the logic in your thinking. I think I'm set with this; still plenty of Symphony Sid!

I'm listening to the 4xCD Savoy box now!

The next 3 titles are shipping from DG now: Peter Kowald Quintet (no extra material here), Phil Wachsmann - Writing In Water, and Sun Ra - Solar Myth Approach 1 & 2. Interesting note here about that last one: As with many Arkestra records, the information on these gatefold packages was dubious at best. Here they appear with corrected lineups and dates, showing that the music actually stretches back to the early 1960s, but was assembled into a beautiful chronological mosaic that serves as a gripping survey of early-post-Chicago Ra. It's an ideal way to start listening to his music, and for his fans absolutely essential items in the gargantuan discography. These LPs have been reissued a number of times since BYG/Actuel folded, and with each new batch the fidelity has diminished, so that they've been a pale shadow of the original recordings. For the first time, the sound has been lovingly restored to a previously unimagined level of omniversal fidelity, and one track ("Scene 1 Take 1") that was mastered at the wrong speed on the original – perhaps a Ra idea, perhaps just a disconnect between the producers and the composer – has been included as a bonus track remastered at the corrected speed. Packaged in the glorious original LP designs, with a definitive essay by Irwin Chusid, this is The Solar-Myth Approach as it was meant to be experienced.

A huge Second on Seabrook/Cooper-Moore/Cleaver - Exultations. It's been on constant rotation over here, one of the more exciting releases of late.

Amazon is also a terrible deal for buyers because they will not combine shipping on multiple orders from the same Marketplace seller, so you're paying $4 extra per CD. Trash.

I buy CDs all the time; it's by far my preferred mode of listening to jazz. Due to space constraints, I've had to recently jettison all my non-jazz CDs, so all other music gets purchased on vinyl. I hate downloads. I'm also always looking to fill in gaps, so I'd happily take a look at the list.

I think about the Joe Daley box he was working on all the time. Still hope someone can take the reins on that one day, but I'm not counting on it.

Just saw that Discus has reissued this very rare 1977 Oxley Incus LP on CD. With shipping the total delivered to the US was just under $20. https://discus-music.co.uk/catalogue-mobile/dis99-detail

oh wow, yes

His playing on The Quest in particular was mind-altering for me early in my jazz listening. To this day one of the great jazz performances ever.

As a favor to you I will buy the new one alongside Fantastic Ms. 10 and compare. I was underwhelmed by the 3rd ECM quintet album after loving the first 2 acoustic ones, and the live quintet stuff I saw on youtube didn’t change my mind, but perhaps I just need to squeegee my ears some; it’s been necessary before!

I personally like the Sommer one best. I like the first one with Bennink (haven’t heard the more recent one), but that is a ymmv situation. I need to pull out that Taktlos set soon. Great varied program, but the trio with Léandre & Lovens is one of the all-time great ripping chunks of free improv.

Glad to see the group back to a quartet! I will check this out for sure, not a fan of the guitar.

The only one I've owned is the Don Ellis, which is not a CDR. But there could be issues with re-pressings. Hopefully not.

FYI Mosaic is selling copies of the Mighty Quinn RE of Roy Ayers' great West Coast Vibes for 11.98. For whatever reason this is a very hard to find CD if you run a check through Discogs/ebay/Amazon/etc. Great opportunity. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AYERR01
