That's a steal

That FS selection left me a bit cool I have to say, all a bit predictable. Not a great Futterman and and have more Crispell releases than I have time to listen to. Hal Russell is always worth a listen though. I bought 'Substantial Myths' for Gordoa who impressed me elsewhere. I wasn't overwhelmed by it I have to say. Maybe requires another listen. I find myself increasingly thinking that I now react to improv best heard live as over the years I have amassed so many recordings that few of the new ones break much new ground.

Andrrew Cyrille/Peter Brotzmann - Andrew Cyrille Meets Brotzmann in Berlin 1982 [FMP, Germany 1983] two masters at work

You both have an enviable amount of clear surface space and no clutter

I listened to it yesterday, really interesting. Must have been great to see it live

Jimetta Rose & Voices Of Creation - How Good It Is Joyous and uplifting, can't stop listening to this

Well, they have certainly been "lost" to general availability and consumption for decades. That's certain, hence the excitement here now that we have "found" them. I'm not sure "lost" in this context ever necessarily means misplaced or hidden, does it? It can do in some instances but not all.

Grover Washington Jr. - Winelight First listen in decades, really enjoying it both nostalgically but also in the here and now

Blissed out. I have a soft spot for that one

Yes, not overwhelming but quietly insistent. Nice groove to some of it and the Jaimie track is special.

Jason Holder Liz Truss St. Jude the Apostle

KVL - Volume 1 [Astral Spirits/Monofonus/Spacetone, 2019]

Yes I was thinking the same when listening to it. Yusef Lateef - Into Something [New Jazz, mono]

Rashied Ali/Frank Lowe - Duo Exchange, Complete Sessions [Survival Records, 2020]

No, different David Lee. Bass and cello, on this LP.

And the second Anteloper was better than the first too, I think. She was going somewhere good, so sad

Sonny Simmons - Rumsuma [Contemporary, 1970] Bill Lee - Pick A Number [Onari, Canada 1979]

Yes, there's an element of that as I was able to put the money towards a few big ticket titles I'd hankered after for sometime. 100 out, 5 in! I'm not sure it's near "very refined" yet, there's still 1750+ of them...

no, a very nice man came from the shop and collected them, on his bike! Atlantis.

Space is a major issue in a small London flat (apartment). There was no more room on the shelves, the floor or in the storage cupboard in the kitchen! 100 went and I have to say it was really quite easy to prune that many. I have a tendency to buy lots of albums by an artist when I first get into them, I trimmed a few that were over-represented and also some that i just don't listen to or were unlikely to. I'd never really enjoyed the Hemphill since buying it on release, I'm left with enough by him still to enjoy. I found the exercise pretty liberating and had a very pleasant selling experience - I wasn't looking for lots of money just the space. I'm already considering titles for the next hundred.

Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition - Audiovisualscapes [Impulse, 1988] prompted by @HutchFan's blog. 34 years ago, no!

Craig Harris And Tailgaters tales - Shelter [JMT, West Germany 1987] Not too sure how well this stands the test of time, certainly Harris's vocals edit to add: the non-vocal tracks are pretty strong

DeJohnette survived this month's big LP clearout, Hemphill didn't...I don't know the Harrell I also remember having to return warped copies of the DeJohnette, I think the one I kept is still warped!

Wailing Souls - Fire House Rock [Greensleeves, 1981 UK]

Yes. That also has a great cover
