Agreed. Tyner sounds like he has already checked out on that record (Alice was a much better fit by then) and Sanders' work with Coltrane (except for 'Meditations') has always been totally lost on me. And I fast forward through any bass or drums solos. Never have really "gotten" Ali, but Elvin Jones also was not right anymore for where Trane was heading. Can't imagine that Tyner or Jones particularly cared for what Sanders was doing there, given what their own records of the next few years were like. But Coltrane himself is brilliant and challenging during that time. "Om" has always struck me as a bad acid trip which should have stayed in the can.

This is not going to sell 250,000 copies like "Both Directions at Once" or even sell like "Blue World". The DG listing shows it as 2LP/1CD.

Have not forgotten. The advent of the CD era helped a lot.

Fiction is oft times not without aesthetic value! I think Patrick Roques did Miles Reid even better than Miles Reid did, though without the authenticity.

Which happened plenty soon enough. Great vault work by Cuscuna.

Where at?

Listed as being on Impulse, and being a 2LP set (no CD?). Color me skeptical, as no place else mentions it, even the Impulse web site.

I won't. That's a 3500 mile round trip.

This is beautifully done revisionist history feelgood. One of Roques' masterpieces: as opposed to this artsy monstrosity.

Patrick Roques fixed it with the Conn, though it's not exactly one of the classic BN album covers. But better than the generic 1980 white/rainbow template.

We occasionally get ones from the "IRS" that we are going to be arrested shortly if we don't call and pay our "outstanding bill", that this is our last chance.

I usually go $3.50 for first 3 CD's, then $.25 each afterwards. Average CD is about 4 oz. So a ton would be about 8,000 CD's. $2002.75 estimated postage. Aren't you glad you asked a math guy?

Thx, at some point I'll probably go that route when I have just low-priced items left. And maybe I'll open a Discogs store. I have a ton of CD's coming up for sale next.

up with prices and condition descriptions.

Just finished listening to the Clark Terry one, liked it quite a bit more than I thought I would, and it unexpectedly goes into my keeper collection. Amazing how well he was playing on this in his early 80's.

I love those Harriott albums from that period. He was onto something beautiful for awhile there.

We should have a contest to guess what the DG description algorhythm will come up with as a description of the album. I'm putting my money on "groovy little gem".

You figured wrong!

Look forward to hearing it. It's a maybe for me, depending on reviews and samples.

Love that Tyner.

and this is mine:

bonzos!

"Looking very relaxed on vibes, Adolf Hitler". (edited after Chuck's post to add song link).

I like the line before that even better: "If silence was golden, you wouldn't be worth a dime.". And of course the punchline to "Parchman Farm" is priceless.

Not aware of that album. Liked the group.
