-DKV Trio - Wels/Chicago 1998 (Okkadisk)
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.
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 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.
Wayne Shorter - Etc. from 1965 w/ Herbie, Cecil McBee, Joe Chambers. Oops, missed this on the first page. At least it's still true all these years later.
