I'm in for this, and for future installments through the 60's and 70's.

I have always considered this to be much less than the sum of it's parts (Gilmore, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, John Hicks, Victor Sproles, Blakey), but at least it's another small group setting for Gilmore.

Freed up my used copies of the CD's, PM me if interested.

And I remain even more taken with the three albums where Danny Kirwan was the main guy. 'Kiln House', 'Future Games', and 'Bare Trees' are just lovely albums. Jeremy Spencer had major contributions to 'Kiln House', Bob Welch and Christine McVie to the other two.
-
That's the only one in this set Green plays on. Danny Kirwan is the big draw on this set, with lots of Bob Welch and Christine McVie, and the best Jeremy Spencer on record from Kiln House. Yep. For that matter, pre- and post- Peter Green were like two different bands, and then Buckingham/Nicks was something else again. All have their substantial pleasures.
-
This may help also - I think Christine McVie's early Fleetwood Mac work was far superior to her Buckingham-Nicks era work, which I always found too sugary.

Prestige/Jazzland/Riverside unissued sessions/tracks
felser replied to bertrand's topic in Discography
Agreed. Those last three Coltrane box sets, the Miles First Quintet box set, the Evans Village Vanguard box set, Stitts Bits, the Sonny Rollins Prestige set, the Dolphy Prestige set, the Joe Henderson, all things of beauty. A McCoy Tyner set would have also been great. -

Maybe we'll see "John Fahey Plays for Lovers", a 34 minute compilation, next Valentine's day. That seems to be their approach now. -

I can't imagine Concord springing for something like this. What they've done to that catalog is a crime, and Fantasy was putting out some really nice packages from it before they sold. -
Beautiful 8 CD set with mini-LP gatefolds, great remastered sound, many bonus tracks, previously unreleased 1974 concert. This was the period from 'Then Play On' to 'Heroes are Hard to Find', everything from when they broke free of the strict blues structures up to the doorstep of the Buckingham-Nicks superstar years. Danny Kirwan shines on the first four albums (these albums are his legacy), and Bob Welch, Christine McVie, and Jeremy Spencer have great moments at different points. And 'Then Play On' is Peter Green's greatest moment. $31.15 at importcds.com. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

You also need to hear every other album he played on in the 70's! But that is a really good album, recorded six months after the wonderful Shaw "Live at the Berliner Jazztage" album (a desert island disc for me) with almost identical personnel (Frank Foster is added to the Berliner album). Shaw and Hayes were co-leaders of that group.
-
Those Art Pepper albums are outstanding. The box set of the whole gig is essential. He was consistently inspired in that period, to me the strongest of his career. Remember reading somewhere that "he played each solo like it could be his last one". And a Cables/Mraz/Elvin rhythm section ain't too shabby.

I was a fan of the group's first two albums ('Live at Cafe Au Go Go", "Projections", which has the original "Flute Thing"), though Verve did them wrong in releasing that "At Town Hall" monstrosity and the musically unrelated "Planned Obsolescence", which in reality was basically the first Seatrain album. Danny Kalb was great in the original group, which are perfectly anthologized here, and had a fabulous one-shot reunion concert in the early 70's here:

That's how I interpret the article, yes.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/your-money/fees-mobile-app-payments.html See article bove. Bottom line, it's the credit card company choosing the charge the fee. How do you complete the paypal transaction, do you use "payment for goods or services" or "friends and family"? The latter, using a credit card, is a money transfer, and the banks then choose if they are charging a fee for that or not. The "payment for goods and services" should never be treated as a money transfer on a credit card. AmEx and Discover do not charge the money transfer fee, and cards issued by Chase do not charge the fee.

Yes, didn't think it was either of them, but influenced by both. And I doubt if it is an ECM recording, because I don't know who else on the label would have recorded something like this. Look forward to finding out more!

1 – Nice moody performance of “Summertime” by Ahmad Abdul-Malik and Co. from the 1963 “Eastern Moods” album. 2 – Nice enough, but did not keep my attention. 3 – Yes, I like this. Great tone for the tenor player, who is likely well-known. I’m not placing this, think I probably should be. 4 – Beautiful. Two solo piano pieces in first four selections? I much prefer this one to #2, and want to own it if I don’t already. Sort of a cross between the ECM Corea and Jarrett solo piano styles. 5 - I like this a lot more than I would have expected and look forward to the reveal. The sax player is inventive, the bass player carries the weight, and the rhythms are nicely slinky. At 15 minutes, it does oustay it’s welcome some. 6 - . Three solo piano pieces in first four selections? I like this more than the first, less than the second, I do like it, and do admit all three are different from each other. This has a very African/Dollar Brand feel to it. 7 – Sorry, absolutely does not translate for me. 8 – I like this one OK, but not as much as #6, and not nearly as much as #4. Good inner logic to the playing, and nice technique. I’m enjoying the survey of solo piano styles on the even-numbered selections. 9. – I’m sure I own this somewhere. Bright and festive tune/arrangement. Solos don’t do as much for me as the ensemble playing, though the trumpeter does get frisky in the second half of his solo, and the pianist acquits himself very well. Reminds me of the Visitors (Grubbs brothers, Coltrane’s nephews), but it’s not them. Part of that is because of the saxes, part because of the pianist sounding so like Sid Simmons. 10 – You did a really nice job picking the solo piano pieces. This one is also good, though #4 remains my choice. 11 – Right in my wheelhouse as far as styles. Sounds like a vinyl transfer? Worth the effort. I would guess the 70’s, and I’m coming up blank on who it is, but definitely want to know more! Count me in if this is easily obtainable on CD. Really don’t think I’m familiar with it, though I’ve been wrong many times before. 12 – Old. Doesn’t do much for me, but surely very good for what it is. 13 – I’m sure it’s good, but leaves me fairly cold. Sort of the inverse of #5, I like it less than I probably would on paper. The alto player sounds to be very old (age, not style). 14 – Moody, pretty, and all that. I’d probably like this better late at night than I do in the middle of a holiday afternoon. 15 – Jimmy Smith or someone who spent a whole lot of time listening to him. Certainly enjoyable! And “certainly enjoyable” is a good description of this BFT. Fits the perfect hope for one of these, to discover cuts I love but don’t recognize. Breathlessly await ID/reveal of #4 and #11, also looking forward to learning more about #5, #6, #9 and others. Well done, thanks so much! Yeah, I was going to comment on the busyness of the horn. Works big time for me on this cut, but I would not hold the solo up as a masterpiece. But the cut evokes an era and a feeling that I dig so much. You are blessed above all men! My wife does some good stuff on her own listening time also, such as Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments".

I have never had any issues with paypal in the 15-20 year I have used them. I do have a bank account linked, but still pay by credit card for all commercial transactions, and have never had the phenomenon you are experiencing. There is a fee when you pay individuals via friends and family using credit card, but it's a small percentage (I pay via bank account on those transactions, no fees there for either side). For a commercial transaction, the entity receiving the payment is paying the fee. There are also extra charges for sending money to other countries. As far as the transaction being treated as a cash advance, I'd bet that is the credit card company's mistake rather then paypal's, despite the credit card company denying it.
