Listened to the 4/13 Australian soundboard recordings today, and they sound very good.

PM sent

Got mine yesterday. Have only played brief stretches the five "unlistenable" discs, and indeed they are, so down to a 31 CD set.

Great stuff, Rooster, if you can afford it. And the price is more than fair.

I hold parts of all of the opinions here. To me, the truly magic Smokey was the really early stuff, like "I'll Try Something New" and "Way Over There", but I get plenty of enjoyment out of his recordings through "Quiet Storm", and do love "Being With You" (which I think is awesome writing myself).

I own it. Not perfect, but pretty great. Canonical live stuff to me along with Winterland and Band of Gypsies (I'm not a big fan of his Monterey or Woodstock performances, especially Woodstock).

Toots & The Maytals - Roots of Reggae 6CD box set on Trojan. Mint condition. $50 shipped in USA or interesting trade or best reasonable offer. PM or email john.felser@verizon.net if interested.

The Andrew Cyrille set comes readily to mind as essential. I would also recommend the Mingus Dynasty and George Russell and Mal Waldron sets. Lots of other good ones, and I own a dozen of them. Beware of used copies of the first David Murray set - the first edition of it had mastering errors, which others can give the details on.

Pricing always seems to be all over the place on these sets, Amazon and elsewhere. Well worth shopping carefully. Import CD's has had sales on them a few times which have been really good.

Agreed. I use it every day, so well worth much more than that to me. I'll look into that.

Won’t even attempt ID’s, will just give my impressions, and look forward to the ID and discussions on a most stimulating BFT. This is my favorite type of BFT, where I know I will learn about a lot of music that I really like but have not been familiar with. 1 – Well, they certainly listened to “In A Silent Way” more than once. The drummer has the Tony Williams thing down cold. 2 – Beautiful, will certainly look to add this to the collection if I don’t already own it. What amazing control of the clarinet. 3 – Monk lives! Great version 4 – Good, solid stuff 5 – Too loose for my tastes. Sounds like tuning up to me. 6 – Spunky and squeaky. Mixed feelings on it. I like the bass a lot. 7 – Love this one! 8 – Atmospheric. I have a lot of this sort of thing from the 50’s, and generally enjoy it quite a bit. I like this, too, though it is of later vintage. 9 – Very busy. Lost me around the time of the bowed bass lead. 10 – My transmission made a noise like that right before it died. 11 – I know I’m familiar with this compostion, but not placing it at the moment. I think an old Blue Note track. I’ll kick myself on the ID. I like the cut, though the guitarist has some strange tremolo and gets on my nervers (for reference, I find guys like Scofield and Fiuczynski unlistenable due to their tone). Enjoying the bass player. 12 – Bread and butter. What’s not to like?

I have specific trusted resellers I use on amazon. Looking up box sets on ebay will show a lot of Asian and Russian counterfeit sellers.

Same here.

There are no Nobel's inside the Gates of Eden.

Live in Amsterdam has especially inspired song choices on it. Those Japanese Titles really need to be on CD. Would make a great Mosaic Select.

Any of the Verve sessions.

Bob Dylan played piano with him pre-NYC, and remained fond of him.

Well yeah, but it is cut on a Haeco Scully lathe with Westrex RA1700 series amps, Westrex 3DIIA cutting head and Telefunken U73B tube limiter; Maselec master control and equalization. With love from the folks at Gearbox Records.

Relistening to the "Chronicles, Vol., 1" book on CD on my work commute. Fabulous writing by Dylan, and Sean Penn does a great job narrating.
