Great stuff, thanks. Here is the text of the shipping emails for those not inclined to open the link: Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved “Bon Voyage!” to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, June 6th. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as “Customer of the Year.” We’re all exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

I agree. The Fleetwood Mac Boston Tea Party live recordings are phenomenal. Danny Kirwan is also criminally underrated, and together they made some amazing music.

I also recommend the Heath. The last of his great mid 70's album run ('The Gap Sealer', 'Love and Understanding', the latter-released 'The Time and the Place', this one). I never liked his work nearly as much afterwards (YMMV). Though this one reminds me of his earlier Riverside work more than the Cobblestone/Muse-recorded material I mentioned.

I think a little patience will bring you the one above at a decent price. Median selling price on Discogs is $25.49, and they go dirt cheap on ebay, just went for under $10 this past week.

Me too, those were classic.

Of course, they hated each other and were breaking up by then, so I wonder how much their hearts were in it. The reunion concert 35 years later is amazingly strong.

I also saw him on a double bill with Redman, at the Keswick Theatre. Saw him a few years earlier there on a double bill with Marian McPartland. Both were great experiences. The only other time I saw him was in the 70's at the long-gone Bijou Cafe on Broad Street. Quintet. Joe Ford was part of it, foggy on who the other musicians were, though I'm thinking George Adams was the other sax player. I know McCoy just blew away the sax players that night, as he so often did in that period. Sonny Fortune and the youthful Azar Lawrence seemed to fare best. Anyways, Tyner was amazing. No one else except Billy Harper has reached me so deeply, and surely Tyner was a major influence on Harper. So thankful for his life and his music.

Same with me.

These are the two I bought from there over the years. Very pleased with both. The Fortune is his Strata-East album from the mid-70's, the Weston is of recent vintage.

Thanks, let me know your impressions, if the performances vary much from what is already available, and from each other on that set.

This gem, from 1972, was to me THE great Tyner (and one of the greatest by anyone) solo piano album:

One of my very favorite musicians, I don't even know where to start my words here. RIP, and thanks.

Does it tell us (musically) anything we didn't already know? I have the "Those Were The Days" box set, with all the studio sides and 145 minutes of live stuff from "Wheels of Fire", the original "Goodbye", "Live Cream", and "Live Cream 2". Wouldn't mind having this, but $50 is a lot for redundancy if that's really all it offers. I love 60's rock and like Cream, but never bought into "Clapton is God", or that he was even Mike Bloomfield for that matter, let alone Jimi.

I'm not all that familiar with Palmieri's work, but I am a fan/owner of this one, which would have made my list:

Some great choices there. You got the right Farrell and the right Carn and the right Land among several worthy candidates. Those are great Barbieri albums, though I am partial to 'El Pampero', first thing I ever heard by him and a landmark experience.

Buchanan did do some singing on some of his Polydor albums, but had absolutely no knack for it. Very very talented player. Very troubled human being with a huge drinking problem. He died in a jail cell in 1988, either by suicide or not, depending which story you choose to believe. I saw him in concert ca. 1986 at the Mann Music Center. He was third billed to Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds (SRV older brother Jimmy Vaughan's group). Buchanan was impressive, much more so than the Thunderbirds, but Stevie Ray was amazing that night. Buchanan was one of those guys (Gary Moore was another), who had incredible guitar chops,and seemingly never quite knew what to do with them. You can get 150 minutes of prime 70's Buchanan playing for under $10 on this, and it's all you'll ever need by him.

MJQ sold. Tristano, Herman, Akiyoshi, Stitt still available. Price cuts on Stitt and Akiyoshi/Tabackan. Willing to consider offers for sale or trade.

Got one from a very local place via discogs for $20 offer, and I can pick it up.

Cipollina is all the way to the right in this group picture. This was the chorus from their only "hit" single. So ironic.

They didn't fare better offstage. Actually kind of eerie what you brought up: Death[edit] Cipollina died on 29 May 1989 at the age of 45 after a career in music that spanned twenty five years.[7] His cause of death was alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which he suffered from most of his life, and which is exacerbated by smoking. alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD or AATD) is a genetic disorder that may result in lung disease or liver disease.[1] Onset of lung problems is typically between 20 and 50 years old.[1] This may result in shortness of breath, wheezing, or an increased risk of lung infections.[1][2] Complications may include COPD, cirrhosis, neonatal jaundice, or panniculitis.[1]

I have the Jazz Heroes Data Bank, bought at Tower Records many years ago.

Quicksilver also must have listened to some Dave Brubeck, as their great "Gold and Silver" from the landmark first album seems to be strongly influenced by "Take Five".

Truly the crux of the biscuit...
