a favorite that I haven't seen mentioned yet is Milt Hinton's East Coast Jazz/5. No. 8 in that series by Hal McKusick is also a classic. Despite all the fine modern and mainstream jazz the label did I still think it's probably safe to say the Chris Connor and Mel Torme albums are the catalogue's crown jewels. I never really did get along very well with the 3 Mingus albums. They're fine but I always find them curiously muted in comparison to his other work in the 50s.

Fabulous, top five for me. Took a few copies to get a clean one but we'll worth it.
I hear good things about the reissue, it's a needle drop but not at all noticeably a friend assures me
I just sold my original LP, which I bought sealed/unplayed, in favor of the new CD. It sounds perfectly fine to me.

Have they ever re-released one of their previous releases? If they could negotiate a deal the first time, can they do it a second time? The work has already been put into the mastering and packaging.
I personally think they're crazy not to redo the Tolliver Selects in a big box with The Ringer, Paper Man, and Live At The Loosdrecht Jazz Festival. The second of those was barely even in print. Tolliver's music overall has suffered availability issues that are still unaddressed.

Amazon is carrying it - release date is tomorrow.
I noticed that but it's more than twice as expensive as DG and says it won't arrive until June?
-
I guess I will just order direct from the label via bandcamp. It didn't last 30 minutes at Dusty Groove & who knows when they'll restock it.
-
I'm pretty sure the only part of the Mosaic that's exclusive is the previously unreleased X-75 pt. 2 session. Otherwise all of the albums on it are cheap and easily obtainable secondhand, especially the 90s Columbia CDs (which are my favorites of the bunch).

The NYAQ collection omits 2 tracks from Mohawk.
Ah you’re right, it was harder to read on bandcamp. Again completing a widely available date in favor of cutting a rare one. More pointless decisions.
-
Well that's concerning. Hopefully only temporary? I hope there is a plan to manage the large existing inventory of CDs. There is so, so much great music there that can only be ordered direct.

Still have a lot of qualms about this whole enterprise, but it's nice to see him moving back towards Fontana and BYG (and to a far lesser extent, ESP). There is also a disc that combines both Noah Howard ESP albums and one that appears to combine Ketchoua and Scorpio both forthcoming. The NYAQ and Howard also don't have any tracks missing, which is good. If he could get Other Afternoons on CD for the first time (maybe paired with the Cyrille solo BYG?) then we'd be getting *somewhere*.
But to keep the negativity flowing, the (admittedly "official") Ayler disc combining Spiritual Unity and a paltry 2 tracks from My Name Is Albert Ayler is ridiculous.
-
Will definitely check this one out. Wouldn’tve expected to see Brö on this label.
-
This was repped by the official Marion Brown IG account (run by his son), so however it came about it does have the family’s blessing.

Never heard of this album or artist. Bookmarked.
Much joy lies ahead for you!
This is a great record, and I'm glad it's on streaming. I wish I'd gone in on the LP when it was ~$90 a few years ago. Rate is about $300 minimum these days for some reason.
-
I have never seen nor heard of this. I'd wonder if it's even real myself.
-
The Black Unity Trio LP did sell out its first pressing after a couple months, but they repressed and it's been available ever since. So I'm not worried about it.

What a contribution over such a long period of time, and he surely went out on top too. His playing on MBefore from last year is incredibly deep.
For me at least there's not much in jazz as exciting as those recordings with Don Cherry, specifically from Montmartre. All-time burning.
RIP

Thanks - Amazon fulfillment is by Rare Waves Imports. I never order from them. Guess I'll wait for DG.

Added to discogs and ebay wantlists, thanks. Current best available price is $70, can't go there.
Took me a good decade or more to find one at a price I was willing to pay, but finally did a couple years ago.

Both this and the Mitchell are superb. Not sure if they ever ended up on CD (too lazy to look).
Isolation is great. Tenor, bass clarinet, and corn-pipe I believe. The passage with him overblowing on that instrument is nuts!
Too lazy to confirm myself but I think the only Moers LPs that made it to CD are the two John Carters, Odean Pope - Almost Like Me, Sunny Murray Trio, MRE - No Wave, RSJ - Street Priest, and the Phalanx album. By the time they transitioned new releases to CD they weren't putting much out that was very interesting but there is a great Gunter Christmann album on there from 1995 that is the first true example of his mature conception (a la Explico).

Terrible news. He was the glue that held together so much great music. This album is tremendous.

I was really hoping to be able to carve out some time & money to attend this year to see Joelle Leandre, but alas don't think I will be able.
-
A loss that is ultimately expected, but still stings. A master and a true original. RIP and thank you for all that you left here on Earth.

I had noticed a bit back that the excellent Jazz Doctors LP was due for reissue by Cadillac. What I didn't realize was that the CD edition contains an entire unreleased follow-up album that was recorded in 1984 with Thurman Barker and Wilbur Morris replacing Denis Charles and Rafael Garrett. Very welcome news!
Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread

Great! Always love to hear your thoughts, keep it coming.
The Lopez Trio is becoming an extremely strong unit, working uniquely at the intersection of texture and sound. I was cool on the first release but as they build this body of work I see the vision more & more. And they have a vision for the music, which is rare enough. Very much looking forward to grabbing Brandon's new solo disc on Tao Forms.
I liked the gfm/Dunkelman duo OK but really enjoyed the string duo w/ Joanna Mattrey from a few months previous.
Still haven't spent enough time with the Pride of Lions disc, I will pull it out this week and revisit.
The Judson Trio 2xCD is a masterpiece, it's been on regular rotation here since it came out. I will be grabbing the new Taborn/Maneri/Leandre trio disc soon.
