I'm about certain that the new copies sold by Amazon proper ARE indeed the "generic" represses. I would buy secondhand.

So excited to hear the Izenon-Brackeen albums, finally.

I'd like to hear that, but at 55 euro, it's doubtful.

I'm excited to hear the new Ches Smith's These Arches on Clean Feed. I dug the date on Skirl, and more time playing together + the addition of Tim Berne sounds like success to me.

There is a Jazztet Mosaic at Reckless.com for $150. Not a bad price for a scarce one.

I don't know a lot of his stuff, but I really liked the album with Ron Carter & Paul Motian.

Those Jazz Scene USA log sheets are fascinating! Thanks for posting them.

I don't think the later stuff meets Mosaics "standards", as it were, and the earlier stuff has been served extensively by the CD market under the aegis of Cuscuna himself. A dead end, methinks.

The drummer Steve Ellington, who worked with Sam Rivers, Roland Kirk, Dave Holland, Art Farmer, Hal Galper, Hampton Hawes & others has died.

I was thinking of the Bill Dixon Savoy.

Love his work on Mingus at the Bohemia & Plus Max Roach. I know he played on a couple other sides I own (besides TB&TAT) but I can't quite place them. An interesting fellow.

PM sent on Sonny Criss Imperial.

The Who's Crazy soundtrack. I have it on an Affinity double LP, but it has appeared in other forms. Right, forgot about this one. Still trying to find a copy at a palatable price.

Can anyone give an accounting of what recordings are available, legit or not, from the Trio? I have the ESP, BN Golden Circle albums, the Arista London set, and the Cryodon boot. What else could I get my hands on?

New Roscoe Mitchell duets album with Tyshawn Sorey + Hugh Ragin on Wide Hive. I'm there.

Still can't quite beat when bestbuy.com listed the Coltrane Side Steps box for $13.

Same here. Faith in humanity = restored.

Thanks. I've never heard Boykin do wrong.

Given that during the last sale they had nearly all titles were so priced, this one is a bit of a letdown.

OK. I feel the need to clarify my agreement with JETman and clifford, not the OP.

Yeah, still need to pick that one up. A second volume, Lost In June, was released last year.

Gonna have to throw my agreement in on this one, though I admit I'm at a loss to think of many other saxophonists to come up at the same time (early/mid 90s-ish), besides the more obvious names like Josh Redman and Harry Allen. Greg Osby, I guess.

Guessing the Formanek - Small Places is gone, but PM ...

Yes yes yes on the Soul Note box. The Monk albums are very nice, as are the sets with Waldron but my favorite Lacy material of all is his trio stuff. The Flame and The Window from the box are incredible. Blinks, another top shelf Lacy record on Hat, is in print. Its cut down from the original 2xLP/CD but you can't miss.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath then...
