Count me in on both. That's a great series. There was magic in that concert hall during that time, and the recording quality is stunning.

Also, I went out there today, and some titles that were offered originally no longer are offered. And the price shows as higher than it did. So I'm out.

I know they've leased out some of the Vanguard titles. Real Gone Music (the legit American label) put out several of the early Larry Coryell albums in the past two-three years. But I can't imagine that was their plan. They are just sitting on things like the Joan Baez catalog, as well as interesting lesser lights like Eric Andersen.

Nor did I. Also didn't realize they own Vanguard - no wonder that catalog is sitting DOA.

FREE SHIPPING Spain, European Union, Swizterland and Norway. For Orders above 30€ USA and Canada. For orders above 60€ If anyone in USA wants to combine for an order, let me know. I see several titles (including one of the Roach's) I'd like to have.

I'm American and I agree with you. Hino, to me, was not just copying what he heard on his newest Miles Davis album back then. Influenced by, of course. Mimicking, no. One guy I have studied a good bit in recent months is Kenny Cox, through his Strata records venture. The Blue Notes were not where his heart and ears were, he had something much more ecumenical in mind, for his music and for his record label. Listen to the "Location" and "Clap Clap" albums (and I recommend that you do), and you hear him heading in very distant shores from the Blue Notes, and you will not be thinking of the Miles Second Quintet as the starting point. They are not anywhere close to purist jazz, or even to post electric Miles jazz. Also well worth a listen for non-audiophiles is the Strata album of 1965 live recordings under Bert Myrick's name (though it seems like a Cox album in all but name. He plays piano and wrote two of the four cuts). George Bohanon is great on trombone. If I ever do another BFT and anyone actually listens to it, you'll likely hear Cox on it.

Nice price, too.

I'd be very interested in sampling that thread!

It is, I own it.

They'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony... "There Will Never Be Another You" by the OLD Seekers is one of my favorite songs. This group, not so much. But great price.

What kills those Enlightenment boxes for me is that they don't even bother to list personnel or recording/release dates. Just lazy. I had the Ahmad Jamal Enlightenment boxes, and "upgraded" to the Real Gone Jazz sets, which is a pretty sad commentary. I do have a couple of Enlightenment boxes, Zoot Sims and Phineas Newborn come to mind. Stuff I want on the shelves, but don't really play at all, and that has not been done very well by the other PD labels being discussed.

I have a Lowell Fulson 3-CD set they did, which was beautifully executed. If only I had ended up liking his music more...

WORD !!!

BFT 179 1- 1 - Right up my alley. Not knocked out by the solos, but love the sound and the groove, and would be very interested in owning this (if I don't already). 2- 2 - Obviously a tremendously gifted tenor player (and the guitarist is no slouch), but too “laid back” for my tastes. “Stranger in Paradise” 3- 3 - I think this has to be Gato Barbieri, probably A&M era or immediately afterwards. Really interesting use of secondary instruments. Really like this as a guilty pleasure. Barbieri did this sort of thing really well in the late-70’s and the 80’s, due to the inherent passion in his playing and his peerless tone. Hope I have this on the shelves somewhere. 4- 4 - Nice enough in background, but did not hold my attention. 5- 5 -Another really fine tenor player, who has done some serious listening to Joe Henderson. And I really like the rhythm section. Would also like to own this, would not be surprised if I already do. 6- 6 - Another great sounding tenor player and drummer, who obviously spend a lot of time listening to Coltrane and Elvin Jones. Puts me in mind of the John Klemmer Nexus set, which I have not heard in decades. Is this from that? Whatever it is, well worth hunting down. 7- 7 - Pretty exotic. I was ready to dismiss this early on, but it grew on me, and I’m now pretty curious to know what it is. Sort of a later-day update of some of those Ahmed Abdul-Malik albums. 8- 8 - Sounds like a cut from one of those Frank Lowe/Billy Bang albums, and I’d really like to know which one. Trying to pick them up as I find them at decent prices. I really like this a lot, Bang really consistently hits home for me. 9- 9 - I, of course, recognize the wonderful song, of which I have version by the Five Stairsteps, Beth Orton, and others. This spacey, interesting version is from that “hidden” CD (“The Choice”) in the Kamasi Washington “Heaven and Hell” set (and I also own it). I know that Washington is a very polarizing figure on this board. Given my tastes, I, of course, love what he is doing. 10- 10 - No doubt this is Frank Zappa? The style, the time/rhythm, and the guitar solo all sceam FZ. It’s certainly good for what it is, and I likely own it, but can’t place it. Bill, Loved this BFT, thanks so much, one of the few that speaks to where I am. You, Thom, and I need to keep sharing treasures with each other, as we seem to be coming from very similar places. Looking forward to the reveal, and hoping that some others will get into this fine music.

Real Gone greatly improved their sound over time (probably better sources to rip from). I've heard some horrible mastering on Charly, though they also may have improved. The One Way I am famliar with is a USA reissue label that is not PD. They put out some hard-to-find items 25 years ago that I was thankful to get, though I have replaced most of them over time as the same items have come out on other labels with better sound and better packaging. Enlightenment and Not Now are bottom of the barrel to me, I won't touch Not Now, and rarely will consider Enlightenment only if titles not available from other PD labels. I will do Real Gone, like Avid quite a bit (though their sound is OK, not fabulous - I like their packaging and concept a lot). I like Proper for the pre-LP artists where I don't need everything. And I consider Fresh Sound to be the creme de la creme, often prefer them to the US issues on the original labels.

Much afraid after the Harper Lee dabacle. Can't think of two fiction writers who influenced me more than Salinger and Lee when I was in school (I have always read 95% non-fiction).

Yeah, I've heard that too. He was putting out GREAT albums on Blue Note, but I guess they weren't selling that well and that live gigs were limited? How did going to Milestone improve his lot financially? Amazing albums there (especially the mighty 'Sahara'), but did they sell better somehow? Or did the environment change so that there was more gigs, or did he get better pay from Milestone?

Great news on the Braufman, thx!

The Braufman is pretty fabulous, wish they had put it on CD. @clifford_thornton Any chance of NoBusiness doing that Prince Lasha Live Firebirds set?

couple of great quote from readers on superdeluxeedition.com: gwynogue says: January 30, 2019 at 13:50 Am I the only one who can hear Yoko saying “My precious!”? Jim says: January 30, 2019 at 20:19 I’m going with “Lord of the Ringos”.

I'm not a musician, "sheets of sound" is helpful to me as a historical marker on Coltrane, it is what I hear in '57-'58 from him that I don't hear from '55-'56. even though I can't explain it musically. The time with Monk seems like the boundary line to me from what I can tell. That live album with Monk that Blue Note put out is stunning. Also, if "Live in Seattle" and especially "Om" (recorded on consecutive days, 9/30 and 10/1 1965) is what LSD can do to you, I'm glad I never went there in my own life.

Almost half his Atlantic output ('My Favorite Things'. "Plays The Blues', 'Sound" and a stray cut on 'Jazz') was cut the same week in October 1960, then released as late as 1964. I like that Roulette session quite a bit.

Totally with you on all of that.
