    I actually do have and like "Make a Jazz Noise Here", though I thought that was just sort of an oddball outlier in the narrative. Any other suggestions based on that?

    I'm all in until Flo and Eddie killed it, all back in with the early 70' instrumental stuff, and sort of OK post-Flo/Eddie through the album with Beefheart. LOVE the version of "Trouble Every Day" on "Roxy and Elsewhere", but don't ever listen to anything else on it, and mostly disinterested after that. Agree that he became just mean (and overly vulgar) as he went on. The early albums were brilliant, both with the original Mothers and the Don Preston et al permutations of it, and things like "Waka/Jawaka" and "The Grand Wazoo".
  3. I have the four Sundazed Roger McGuinn 70's CD's with bonus cuts and great remastering ("Roger McGuinn", "Peace on You", "Roger McGuinn and Band", "Cardiff Rose") and the Repertoire reissue of "Thunderbyrd". Buying all five in decent used condition on Amazon would cost $83 with shipping. I will sell the set for $50 shipped in the USA or will consider individual sales. PM if interested.
  4. IM me some trade ideas. I'd like one or more nice CD's in my groove(s) in return. If you have trade/sale lists already, that's helpful.

    Correct! But IMO the album is still a little underwhelming, especially compared to Iapetus (not to mention Caravanserai, a desert island disc for me).
  6. I have a labeled CD-R of Randy Weston and Rodney Kendrick Live at Merkin Hall February 9, 2004. It is a show of duets with what you would expect from Weston, compositions by Ellington, Monk, and himself. I don't remember exactly where I got this from, but remember it being legit from buying something by one or the other of these artists (we all love Weston, and I actually like Kendrick quite a bit also). I would like to find a good home for this disk, have no idea how to price it, so would like to trade it for something I'm more likely to play again (I don't much like piano duets). IM with ideas if interested.

    Agreed on all points. I do like "Montana", but it is the only cut on "Overnight Sensation" I ever listen to anymore.

    I like "Crux of the Biscuit" a lot. "Apostrophe" was the best of that era of albums for him to my ears. I find the Flo and Eddie stuff and "Overnight Sensation" largely unlistenable, but am a fan of "Apostrophe". And "Crux" expands some of the musical ideas.
  9. I have the Ultimate and the RVG, and not sure I really need the RVG.

    Correct title and leader, incorrect album and personnel!
  11. $22.82 for me, but still well worth it, so, so I placed the pre-order.
  12. This are the only one by female singer I have kept and listen to. Quite marvelous, including some of the songs she wrote herself.
  13. Don't disagree, though it is worth pointing out that Morgan was only 19 at the time.

  15. Yeah, I have this on my living room wall Also this And a different crop of this
  16. To me, it's more than "darn good" (the title track alone assures that), and less than "desert island". Not sure it would even make my list of top 10 Coltrane albums (off the top of my heard, "Giant Steps", "Ole", "Plays the Blues", "Coltrane's Sound", "Africa/Brass", "Village Vangaurd". "Impressions", "Coltrane", "Live at Birdland". "Crescent", so I'm already at 10 ahead of it, not even considering Prestige recordings and "A Love Supreme" and beyond).
  17. 2CD set on Emanem. Played once. $18 shipped in USA. PM or email john.felser@verizon.net if interested. Will consider trading if not sold in 48 hours.
  18. Per CDJapan: " Includes six unreleased takes of "Blue Train" and "Moment's Notice." Pass.
  19. Sorry to hear that. It is understandable. He had such a physical style of playing. On record and live, he just overwhelmed players as strong as George Adams and Gary Bartz in the mid-late 70's.
  20. Yes, and thanks for the hours of joy from your art! Do we know why he has not recorded in many years?
