“Remaster” is very much overstating the case. At best these are (well done, admittedly) amateur/independent tweakings of existing sources pressed to CD under the generous legalities of Swiss copyright. Your mileage may vary but I don’t at all consider them required listening unless you are really interested. I haven’t heard the Evans in particular, but I find it hard to believe there is a marked improvement over what’s been done many times over the years https://www.discogs.com/release/28183552-The-Bill-Evans-Trio-At-the-Village-Vanguard-1961-Revisited

This is a fantastic album.

I used to have the first CBCJQ Columbia LP and don't remember it being much more than a pleasant listen but this is encouraging me to revisit his body of work. Highly informational piece if nothing else. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-brief-brilliant-career-of-charles-bell-a-forgotten-trailblazer-of-modern-jazz

Excellent choices!

These are new to me. Listening now and it's sounding great.

Enjoyed it very much. Han keeps it pretty straight, not like the recordings with Rollins where he opens up a bit.

Much love for this one: and this is a total masterpiece: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.Con.Res.57/Treasure_Box

I grabbed these. Several new players to me, looking forward to digging in. Ran me about $45 all in. Kalaparush And The Light - Morning Song Ari Brown - Ultimate Frontier Brad Goode - Hypnotic Suggestion Ed Petersen - The Haint The Rich Corpolongo Quartet Plus Two - Just Found Joy Eric Alexander With Harold Mabern - Mode For Mabes Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble - The Prairie Prophet Lin Halliday With Ira Sullivan - East Of The Sun Malachi Thompson - Rising Daystar Chris Woods - Modus Operandi Eddie Johnson - Love You Madly Edward Petersen - Upward Spiral The Rich Corpolongo Quartet - Smiles Roscoe Mitchell Quartet - In Walked Buckner Jim Cooper & Ira Sullivan - Tough Town

Not Squidco, and Dusty Groove will probably not have enough copies to go around. Forced Exposure seems to be about the only place I know of that reliably stocks the Souffle Continu CDs.

I've been looking forward to this one. It's been taking its time making it to the US but looks like it should be available finally next month.

That's much more like it.

I ordered mine direct from bandcamp from the US. It showed up in about 10 days with my normal mail, no problems at all. I will say though that I gave it a few listens on Spotify before I was able to buy it, and when I finally put my LP on last week I found the flipping to be very distracting. I've had a couple of their other LPs and didn't mind it, but it really took me out this time around. Would much prefer it on CD. Switching gears, I got a note about this in my email today. Digital only at the moment, but BG's notes refer to it as a CD, so I am hoping physical copies will be available soon: https://mayarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-jazzdor

It's tremendous, but a lot to take in. I'm going to have to spend more time with it. Ultimately, I prefer Wood Blues.

If anyone missed out on the [Ahmed] 5xCD box set, it looks like he ran a second printing: https://ahmedquartet.bandcamp.com/album/giant-beauty

I agree, it’s a pretty poor and baffling choice.

Just announced: https://first-archive-visit.bandcamp.com/album/1964-recordings-first-visit-completed 1–6 recorded September 3rd, 1964 Live at Club Montmartre, Copenhagen, Denmark 7–9 recorded September 10th, 1964 in Copenhagen, Denmark 10–15 recorded September 14, 1964 in Copenhagen, Denmark 16–21 recorded November 9, 1964 in Hilversum, The Netherland

Yes, I discovered this upon revisiting it a couple years ago. For whatever reason I remembered Happenings to be a little slight, and Oblique to be the stronger of the two. I found that I had it completely flipped. There's some very deep & outre stuff on there!

9/3 is right. The Copenhagen Tapes has the 6 9/3/64 tracks and the 3 from 9/10/64. https://www.ayler.co.uk/html/copenhagentapes.html

I believe this is erroneously dated on the Philology LP. It is from 9/26/64, the total of which was released on The Copenhagen Tapes (Ayler)/Copenhagen Live 1964 (hatOLOGY)/European Recordings Autumn 1964 Revisited (ezz-thetics)

I'm not too sure about the Vanguard piano and V-Disc big bands sets, but I am all in for the Vanguard swing, and am curious to see what's on the V-Disc small groups one. Glad to hear they are staying busy.

They just added the rest of the Freedom & Fontana titles; went back for another big stack and now I think I can tap out. Grabbed the new Ofamfa CD reissue as well. Phew!

Finally grabbed the Jym Young, looking forward to hearing it for the first time.

DG has massively reduced these @ 8.99 apiece. They have quite a few titles in stock still, including Cowell, Andrew Hill, Tchicai, Jym Young, AEC, Marion Brown etc etc.

I love The Band, but I would honestly wonder how much they really varied their setlist and performances. I think it would be even bigger overkill than with the Dylan material.

Excellent choices. Marshall Allen is long overdue, and I’m very happy to see Marilyn included.
