Long time ago, not in the last 20 years. Always seemed to let his undoubted facility get in the way to my ears. I guess I should try again

So where does Mingus fit in as he connects to a few of these names?

George Adams, sometimes?

And a highlight of the set it is

That's a shame. Both of my codes from this series have worked perfectly so not anticipating any issues with this one Does anyone know which titles are due next? I have only seen listings up to 'Dejeuner...'

thanks for the reminder, order submitted

I have spotted that a number of tracks fade bout which seems odd given the size of the boxset. Heavens alone knows how many discs would have been required to hold all the concerts in their entirety. Also, the start of some of the tracks seem very abrupt, presumably because they've cut the audience appreciation of the previous tune. All of which may be a product of AB's decision not to present the music as played on each night but to cut/paste from different nights and venues. None of the above detracts in any significant way for me from what is a tremendous release overall.

Pre-ordered this. Solo lockdown recording.

Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring [Blue Note, 1963, NY Stereo] The first Jackie Mac I heard, still way up there for me

Paddington Yogi Antigonus [<---- Exit]

First listen to this, it sounds good to me. I don't follow Metheny religiously but dip into his catalogue occasionally and I'm invariably surprised by how much I enjoy the visits.

Xhosa Cole Quartet - Know Them Know Us [Stoney Lane Records, 2021]

the Bley Steeplechases are a great run of recordings

Eremite, sound label. Look forward to them realising the plans whenever

I never listened to nearly as much of his music as I suspect I should have. 'Revolt...' was highly rated in the Penguin Guide I think but impossible to find by the time I realised i should do. Maybe the reissue will allow me to remedy that.

Roscoe Mitchell - More Cutouts [Cecma, Italy, 1981] I always want there to be a companion to this, titled 'Cutouts'

à la Blue Note Yusef on Prestige or Yusef on Impulse?

Nat Birchall - Ancient Africa [Ancient Archive Of Sound, 2021]

Forever grateful for the local public library LP selection (I even ended up managing it later). Allowed me to dip and dive amongst a wide variety of names, most often chosen on how "cool" the player on the front cover looked. All in an attempt to find the music that was behind Tom Waits on his pre- Rain Dogs days. Ben Webster was an early hit. Then it was Berendt's book and following names on sessions. 'A Love Supreme' and 'Kind of Blue' hit the target on first listen. Then it was Mole Jazz, Mingus, Blue Note DMM reissues, Steve Coleman, David Murray, Anthony Braxton and continued borrowing from the library.

Eric Kloss - In The Land Of The Giants [Prestige, 1973 RP] Eric Kloss - Love And All That Jazz [Prestige, 1966 mono] One of my favourite covers. I prefer Kloss's organ recordings. Listening inspired by BFT 210

Participating's the fun part, you did all the hard work! I have the Kloss!! Klezmer not tango, hmm... Guy Klucevsek maybe? With Mark Feldman Tracks 9 & 14 are really bugging me now

Jock Stein Jocky Wilson Frankie Detorri

Acid Mother Temple Mothers Of Invention Mary Wollstonecraft

prompted by BFT 210. Higgins and Dyani, that's serious.

I would but shipping to the UK and import duty would hike it way beyond that unfortunately. That price in the UK and I'd think about it. I was told by a very reputable UK retailer that no copies of the LP box were distributed here. That's borne out by the fact that Amazon has been the only source I've seen fulfil orders - presumably they shipped US to UK themselves.
