He wrote very interesting music that was played to hell by wonderful groups of brilliant players. But he's no patch on Silver or Shorter.

I need a new copy of Wels/Chicago Last 2 tracks on disc 2 remain the pinnacle for this trio: Blues for Tomorrow and Burning Sky But I've never believed they weren't based on charts Well I placed my order Friday AM and the two Okkadisks got to South Louisiana today. Holy moly. Looking forward to checking those out.

This morning: Clifford Jordan & The Magic Triangle - The Highest Mountain (Inner City/Steeplechase)

Jealous as always. The Parker/Campbell/Davis trio looks awesome.

RIP. I'll certainly spin Mosaic today. Very sad news.

3 from KV: -Resonance Ensemble - Whose Country is This? (Not Two) -Topology Nonet - Impressions of Po Music (Okkadisk) -DKV Trio - Wels/Chicago 1998 (Okkadisk)

I think you'll all get a kick out of this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaM6lTmhnak&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZaM6lTmhnak

Greetings Leeway!

I know some people here also share that ambivalence, but not me. I love his playing and have never failed to enjoy his music & presence. Modernistic is one of my very favorite solo piano albums, up there with Cecil Taylor, Earl Hines, and Ran Blake.

Yes.

They're currently gigging with Vijay Iyer, so hopefully we'll see that on record down the road.

Jackie McLean - Jacknife (Blue Note) The High Frequency session. Jackie with DeJohnette is sensational. A damn shame they didn't record together more.

Trio 3 + Jason Moran is forthcoming on Intakt.

Oliver Lake - Gallery (Grammavision) with Geri Allen, Fred Hopkins & Pheeron AkLaff

Earlier today: John Surman & Jack DeJohnette - The Amazing Adventures of Simon Simon (ECM) John Surman - Private City (ECM) I'm a sucker for those 80s synthy ECMs on a rainy day.

Yeah, a distinction must certainly be made between asking prices and auction prices. Regarding the latter, the Willisau & Santa Cruz Braxtons are still hitting the $75-120 mark on ebay.

I have noticed that Chicago record stores resell Chicago albums at deliriously low prices.

As a heads up, Dusty Groove has an LP copy for $1.99 at the moment.

I put this on today as well. Very nice.

I like the list of Chicago jazz. Did you make that, too?

I don't know for sure either, but my hunch in that they are the real deal. Some titles are not available, which I don't think would be the case if they were on-demand. I also once read a comment from Bonandrini where he said it was a misnomer that the CD catalogue as a whole was ever out of print, just poorly circulated.

Paul Lytton/Paul Lovens

Never mind, that was JazzLoft who don't seem to have it anymore. Looks like $19.95 + $26.95 shipping at Squidco. Oof :/

Not sure what the rate to Australia is at Squidco, but they had it for $14.95USD.

That's what got me thinking in that direction.
