Evan Parker's Monoceros will be (re)reissued on CD by psi this week. Also 3 new Emanem titles. http://www.emanemdisc.com

Vista!!!

Makes no damn sense. Zero. Pointless. Both sets are indispensable, though you do get to enjoy an absolutely inSANE Braxton solo on contrabass sax during set One that is worth the price of admission alone. And the climax of the first half is hair-raising.

Sounds lovely. Can anyone recommend earlier, single/double-disc issues of this material? I'd certainly like to pick some of it up.

Lots of dutch jazz: ICP Orchestra, Clusone 3, Available Jelly, Eric Boeren 4tet, Tobias Delius 4tet, Sean Bergin's Mob, Ab Baars Trio From Chicago: Jason Adasiewicz's Sunrooms, Mike Reed's People Places & Things and Loose Assembly, Jason Stein Quartet, Rempis Daisy Duo, Nick Mazzarella Trio, Josh Berman's Gang Roscoe Mitchell & The Note Factory Mal Waldron Quartet/Quintet, both the 70s iteration with Lacy & Schoof, and the 80s groups with Rouse & Shaw or Jim Pepper Max Roach groups with Bridgewater & Harper Myra Melford's Trio, Extended Ensemble, Crush, The Same River Twice Gerry Hemingway Quintet Steve Lacy Trio & Quartet Jemeel Moondoc small groups & Jus Grew Orchestra Nu Band Thomas Borgmann Trio Thomas Chapin Trio Jim Hobbs' Fully Celebrated Orchestra Roy Campbell Pyramid David Murray Octet & Quartets Marty Ehrlich's Rites Quartet Nate Wooley Quintet So many more. I hasten to label this music "free jazz" AFAIC anyone who appreciates any kind of modern jazz could enjoy this music-- it holds all the same properties.

These prices are very fair and at market rate.

I daresay the Braxton Antilles is a major stretch! But it's very, very good and too often overlooked. I am going to keep an eye out for the Kahil and the Favors records.

I'm not Paul but I wouldn't label it as essential. As the title might indicate, it's pretty much a blowing date. The Mo'tet Soul Note is much, much better.

That's the plan but you know the track record here. Even in the 90s during the label's boom times multi volume sets could be separated by years.

It's out. Also CT - Garden (First Set). I'm not holding my breath for a second volume of either one.

Conglipitous For Alto Homage to Charles Parker Without thinking too hard...

Def! I have the box, all the original albums on CD, plus Ornette!, This Is Our Music, and Free Jazz (x2!) on LP.

Two that I always get mixed up: bass/contrabass clarinetists Michel Cote (Bill Dixon's late work) and Michael Lytle (Iowa Ear Music & assorted free improv situations). Both are fascinating players.

I've long contended they should be housed in their own forum. Outta sight outta mind.

Sad.

In my defense I have the Roscoe CECMA with identical concert art.

I had to think about whether or not I had it for longer than I should have.

Totally forgot about this one. It was on my list for a long time but I never found it. I guess I'll start looking again!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ehrlich-- played it nonstop for a few days when it showed up.

Very nice. But namedropping Iyer, Moran and Akinmusire? Dude can't help himself can he?

Don't know nearly as much as I should but I love him on Remembering Weather Report, which is just a tremendous record in general. Need to get more.

Same.

THE Schlippenbach? No. 50th Birthday Concert, Hunting The Snake, or Elf Bagatellen are probably most essential, but this is a wonderful record indeed. Their studio albums have a certain calm to them that I enjoy sometimes as a contrast to their (awesomely) pummeling live performances.
