Mine always fit on one CD, doesn't help responses all that much in my case. Just a limited interest topic anymore.

The Milestones were, but not the Prestiges that followed. AFAIK it was.

Looking forward to the reveal, as it is the last day of September!

Beautiful box set musically and aesthetically:

Milestone and Prestige were major jazz labels back in that era. Does anyone here know what their approach was on compensating artists for their albums in the late 60's to mid-70's?

Still my very favorite Bartz release, and still no CD reissue (how did OJC overlook it?). Also excellent Woody Shaw on this one:

Strozier was a most underrated player. Glad he had opportunity to record those SteepleChase albums in the late 70's.

Masterly musician with a diverse recording legacy. Saw him live twice, once at the Tower Theatre in the 70's (his crossover phase, did "Macaroni"), once at the Mill Creek Jazz Society in the 90's (straight ahead with the house rhythm section led by Sid Simmons), and he seemed like a very kind man.

To be honest, it's usually this while I work, Sony boombox with Sennheiser headphones. I'm a big Sennheiser fan. I do have a setup with Klipsch speakers, etc. but rarely get to use it.

I'm thinking that if I get to retire at some point, I'll make a document for my wife to give her some options to consider, depending on her desires and financial condition (which should be OK) and try to specify what's worth selling, and what's not. Also will try to deal with most of the dispostion myself in retirement years if I can. May be that having someone like DustyGroove swoop in and handle it in my absence would be worthwhile. Pennies on the dollar, I know, but at least it's handled then and the music should eventually find good homes. My daughter has said that she wants my collection if I pass, so if that is still the case, that will likely be the disposition, but I'm not totally convinced. She couldn't tell you who Billy Harper, Charles Tolliver, or Lloyd McNeill are . For now, the music keeps me sane and motivated while I work.

Really interesting musician. 89 years old, RIP.

And his Riversides from the early 60's are also really good, well-written and arranged in addition to being well-played.

That's a really good Sam Jones album.

I've found his music interesting at times through the years (love the "Too Late to Stop Now" live set and some of the other early 70's stuff), but he's never struck me as someone I would want to hang out with. But then, he probably wouldn't want to hang out with me, either .

I've thought of doing an entirely 1970s Philly-Centric BFT to honor the stuff I came of age on. Catalyst, The Visitors, Khan Jamal, Byard Lancaster, Rufus Harley, Monette Sudler etc.

Mark, safe for you to assume that buying Heavyweight Champion is pretty essential! 30 pounds on discogs.

Abebooks has one at a good price, and Amazon has some fair prices on them. Well worth picking up.

I'm good with the Heavyweight Champion box (a beautiful set, as are the Ornette and Mingus Atlantic boxes).

Larry Kart's "Jazz in Search of Itself" has some very good writing about the 70's (as well as before and after).

I have the following if anyone has interest in a trade or something: 1 - Johnny Hodges, discs/inserts/book (no box) 2 - Sam Rivers discs/inserts (no box or book) 3 - Joe Pass partial set of discs/inserts (no box, no book) 4 - Kenton Holman/Russo discs/inserts (no box or book)

And a really really good one at that, love the Pharoah Sanders bit.

Thanks so much. Not really familiar with a lot of them, but at those prices and with the funds going to a good cause, I'm in for trying them out.

And I'm holding out for CD release.

There were years in the early/mid-90's when it felt like I was buying 10.2 million Blue Note/OJC CD's during Tower Records all-label sales myself. One hit CD could sell millions of CD's itself back then (looking at you, Norah Jones) Sad state of affairs now.
