The map on this is very helpful! All places I know of, but never knew where they really were.

I think any Monk is worth having. But I would consider the Big Band an essential item. The Jazz Workshop is certainly worth your time, if ultimately slightly redundant.

I actually don't have that record. Now I don't know whether to get the LP or the CD... I do prefer the original art, but prefer CDs as a medium.

'Twould be wise to lock the thread about now, methinks.

No, he's not on it. It's from March 2014.

I bet the Tyshawn album is good. That copy is dreadful.

I also see there is a new ICP Orchestra called East of the Sun.

Two new ones from Corbett vs Dempsey: a Tomeka Reid score and a 1998 WNUR broadcast with Kowald/Kessler/Lonberg-Holm.

Strongly thirded.

Well, I must say if anyone can translate that type of intensity to disc, it's Berne.

Alert Sean Hannity!!

I meant nothing by that. I have defended Berne's ECM music on the board all along. I have zero issues with either record. I just meant it's unlikely that a group like Ice Station Zebra would be recorded for the label, and most likely because they have a full and ever-growing roster and I doubt Berne has carte blanche to record any group he wants, which I also think is fine. It's OK.....

I don't have much Shipp around, but The Multiplication Table is an all-time favorite. I might put it on next! I love the "Autumn Leaves".

Date? Looks to be pre-1964, or at least on the dot.

I'm no business person, but they seem to only buy a couple copies of CDs they ought to know they'll sell a load of.

Sounds like a blast. As fate would have it I listened to An Average Daze, from Bloodcount's Unwound last night and it just plastered the hugest smile on my face. Such awesome, inspired music. I live for the next recording and hope one is forthcoming! (Especially from these new bands which prrrrobably won't show up on ECM ...)

If it weren't just Monk. I think the days of Blue Note rereleasing music by John Hardee et al are long behind us.

I generally buy music in a very focused way (ie I'm familiar with the artists) but these are labels I have bought unfamiliar music from on reputation alone: FMP Hat Hut, specifically hatOLOGY Music & Arts erstwhile Family Vineyard clean feed Not Two

Yes, I was referring to Juba Lee. Full discussion here: Coral Rock was never on CD AFAIK. There is the original America LP and a Prestige reissue.

There is a bootleggy version available now but the legit versions remain the original and Japanese LP and CD reissues.

Chris Speed kills in Bloodcount, Endangered Blood and The Same a River Twice.

I have no doubt this makes a lot of people frothingly angry, but I can't be bothered to be bugged. Whatever. I would never pay money for this or listen to it but I appreciate the dedication to both the transcription/playing as well as the gag (or "concept").

PMs on Brotzmann/Bennink, Rara Avis, Schweizer/Bennink

Ran Blake Quartet - The Short Life of Barbara Monk (Soul Note) Perfect in every way.

Got around to ordering the new Coltrane and Giuffre live sets.
