LOVE "Members..." !!!

#5 and #12 are the big winners for me, and I would bet even money on each that I have them on my shelves at home.

Concord is my understanding. 32 Jazz sold out 20 years ago. Savoy acquired the Muse catalog (and did a couple of horrid compilations of it), then Concord acquired Savoy in 2017 (crickets since then on both the Muse and Savoy catalogs, not even a 34 minute "Woody Shaw Plays for Lovers").

Glad to hear. Blessings to you!

My favorite albums of hers are 'Clouds' and 'Ladies of the Canyon'. I find the song "Tin Angel" incredibly moving, largely from a sense of fear for the woman ("dark with darker moods is he....still I'll take a chance and see...I found someone to love today"), though also for the gorgeous melody and amazing vocal.

I already have two versions of this ("Ultimate" and RVG) on my shelves. That's good enough for me. BTW, anyone know how to play the Ultimate bonus content on modern 64-bit PC's?

More interesting (though not necessarily more tasteful) than any since then.

My wife and I love the first three Tuck & Patti albums, "Tears of Joy", "Love Warriors", and "Dream". Not typical Windham Hill territory, but quite beautiful. .

Didn't realize Henderson and Reggie Lucas were each only 19 when they joined Miles. Just noticed that now, looking them up online.

Agreed. My ordering with them tends to be when a label (usually Blue Note) has a great reissue batch scheduled, I'll pre-order what I want from that (can be up to 15 CD's sometimes) and order whatever else I've been saving on my watchlist that happens to be in stock (which usually isn't much). They run out of things very quickly, I never plan on something being available there after it's released.

Nor have I. And their base prices are fabulous.

And the other early Mercury Mangione albums. Would have made a nice Mosaic.

Andrew Hill Trio & Quartet - Shades (Soul Note, 1987) is a really good Andrew HIll album. The Great Friends album has such amazing personnel, it had to be good, though I always felt it could have been even better if it had been less of a cooperative venture.

Dave Burrell when he was with Archie Shepp. He changed pretty drastically later on.

They did some great records! RIP.

LOL!

RIP, anchored a fascinating era for Miles, and sold a lot of R&B records afterwards.

My heirs can sell it. It's a keeper for me.

My system!

The last box set I bought from them was the Clifford Jordan Strata-East in 2013 (and I bought dozens from them in their heyday), and my only other purchase from them since then is the Charles Tolliver All-Stars CD in 2019, so I'm well past the expiration date of feeling compelled to buy things from them to support their work. They aren't ever going to do the Bill Barron, the Hutcherson/Land, or any of those other sets we dream of no matter how many boxes of recycled BN's we buy from them. I much prefer the original cover art on the BN single CD's, part of the "magic" of the BN ownership experience for me. More meaningful to me than a slight sonic upgrade and a new essay I may never get around to reading. Just me, I realize.

Amazing what 5-6 years could change back then. Both musically and personal appearance-wise:

Except this one doesn't average $3.50 a disc or add bonus tracks and original artwork.

Interesting that they chose to omit the live 'Night of the Cookers'. Not that I'm itching to re-hear the seemingly endless Big Black conga solos at the end of the cuts.
