OK, so that description definitely piques my interest. And with Togashi onboard too. Time for a listen, thanks for posting @HutchFan I have a Midorikawa that's been top of my wantlist for ages

Cassandra Wilson - Jumpworld [JMT, Germany 1990] Greg Osby and Sound Theatre - [Germany, 1987] The Henry Threadgill Sextet - When Was That? [About Time, 1982]

Music Revelation Ensemble - No Wave [Moers Music, Germany 1980]

because I'm too easily led by posts on this board!

I just looked up the lineup, impressive. I have a Moers Decoding I never play anymore, maybe I should Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society - Nasty [Moers Muisc, Germany 1981] This recording sounds like some of the players are next door to the studio or down a long corridor, especially Khan Jamal

Yeah, I was really surprised by current prices. I paid no more than £10 five years ago or so. Not quite as good a deal as CT's

Marion Brown - Recollections, Ballads and Blues for Alto Saxophone [Creative Works, Switzerland 1985] Gorgeous solo recital

Thanks for the prompt, going to put it on now, my first listen. Great lineup 👍👍

This is sad, such a great talent. Sounds like he'd not been in the best of health I'm with you on the Morelenbaum collaborations. More recently his work with Alva Noto was mighty impressive. Let's face it his talent ranged far and wide from YMO onwards

Marion Brown - Vista, [ABC Impulse!, 1975] To think I had this lined up for the next clear out. No way, absolute gem of an album

Julius Hemphill - Blue Boye [Mbari, 1977] possibly my favourite Hemphill

Exactly this. Increasingly anachronistic business model means they'll probably just continue to fade away.

Bought my first two big box CD sets in my late 30s when it became easy to do so online, followed by a bunch of Selects and my other three big LP boxes in late 50s. I'm now likely to sell the first two. I'm fairly agnostic about Mosaic, I don't like the alternates running together and really can't see why they can't feature original art work. Much prefer owning individual albums as they become available. I agree with a lot of what TTK says on the other thread

I have learnt so much from here over the 20 years, most of it useful 😀 I hate to think how much I have spent in direct response to posts

Yes, I agree. It kept pulling me back into it when I'd finished it. There's a lot going on, on many levels. It does betray the fact it's a live event where listening like this misses the visual input and impact. That aside it's a statement, definitely

I listened to it three times yesterday. I'll be interested to read what JSngry makes of it. I also prefer her first album over subsequent releases

Them Devon folk...

Joe Henderson - Tetragon, 1969 reissue. Coming from Australia (hopefully)

yes, it does doesn't it. Thinkig about it more, I remember now being surprised at depth of his mental ill health at the time of watching it A well respected news outlet over here, I think it's fair to say

I don't remember this documentary touching on his death or not but I do remember it being a warm tribute to him. I could only find the trailer but it's streamable on Amazon Prime over here so maybe available in US and elsewhere too

No complete 'Rings' that I could find quickly

Thanks for the link and 👍🏼 on your assessment of Togashi. Have you heard 'Rings' or 'The Face Of Percussion ' both solo recordings? Well worth spending time with

That's been on the wantlist for a while

Thanks, yes,sold out now. Friend disappointed ☹️

Did they have any more copies? Asking for a friend...
