Probably the three 4-CD Chess sets with his entire output for the label, though the BGO sets also sound great. Hail, hail rock and rollDeliver me from the days of oldLong live rock and rollThe beat of the drums, loud and boldRock, rock, rock and rollThe feeling is there, body and soul

I think that one sold well, it was out of print around 1998 when I sold mine. The RCA Rogers I have heard doesn't hold a candle to the Atlantics, more commercially oriented to my ears.

Yep, that's the mother lode there, the classic first five albums. "Complete Columbia Recordings" is great, but has gotten pricey. And anything after the original five albums on the PAC set are an acquired taste (actually a few different acquired tastes, some which work for me, some which don't).

I have a new, sealed Amazon Echodot that I just won at work, and my wife and I are too old to be interested in such a contraption.. For sale for $45 shipped in USA or best reasonable offer, Or will consider trade for CD's. My proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Organissimo board fundraising drive (If trade rather than sale, I will donate an equivalent value). Please IM if interested, thanks.

Yes, it is officially listed as rejected. I've noticed that many rejected sessions were re-recorded soon afterwards with the same personnel except for a change of drummers.

Always did, always will. Bright moments indeed.

Did not know that, thanks for posting and sorry for their loss. Just posted because that happened to be what I was listening to while I work from home during the snowstorm.

I'll certainly grab the Getz (fabulous) and the Shorter (the only post Blue-Note of his I still listen to) for the sound upgrades. Any opinions on the Burrell and the Previn? I assume the Jaspar and the Wilen are already in the Vogue box?

I am, too. With a side helping of Newport '63 Favorite Things. Honorable mention to Crescent and to Live at Birdland, which each have their places in my heart. And A Love Supreme is the album that jumpstarted me into jazz, so it will always have great meaning to me beyond its obvious musical merits. I like Alice Coltrane fine. No, she's not McCoy Tyner. Who is? Ali's work with Trane is largely lost on me. But Live in Seatlle shows that Tyner and Jones couldn't go on in the direction Trane was headed, and I am thankful for their subsequent leader work over the next decade, some of my favorite music ever. Tyner's "Sahara" means as much to me as almost any Trane album.

Charles Mingus - Passions of a Man

With the exception of the first Bobby Hutcherson session, have we actually seen Blue Note issue rejected sessions? Lot's of unissued sessions have rightly eventually come out, but not rejected sessions to my memory. And that is probably as it should be.

I agree with you about DiGeronimo, who I have never heard of otherwise. I went asking about him as soon as I heard that box. The second Roach is strong, has the quartet stuff, and the quartet plus strings, which is surprisingly good and raw. I passed on the first Roach box (solo, duos with Cecil Taylor which I already own on the Taylor box, duos with Braxton, M'Boom,and one quartet with strings, which I picked up separately), but grabbed this one and am thankful for it. The title track on "It's Christmas Again" is strange but fascinating poetry plus jazz, though the other side is weaker. But the other albums included all range from pretty good to pretty wonderful, and the price is great.

Agreed, I usually go to the 60's Blue Notes or the Steeplechases to listen to him,

They have been giving different names to all of the MOFO Project CD sets. Interesting that some include the original versions and some don't, act purely as supplements. Wish the original round of Ryko ones had been done right in the first place - what a mess those were.

Here are more details on the March 24 Zappa reissues. 20 titles, many look promising. Links to Amazon and more details included in this article: https://theseconddisc.com/2017/03/one-shot-deal-over-20-frank-zappa-titles-arrive-on-cd-in-march/

Cool, can't wait for the ID,and hope it already resides on my shelves somewhere! And I'm sure Ian Underwood approves of it also!

#2 certainly sounds like primo period McCoy Tyner with either Gary Bartz or Sonny Fortune, but I'm not placing it. Will drive me crazy until I do!

Impressive stuff for sure. Almost up there with this guy's 1972 season.

Great set!

Nice set with good rarities.

Especially the latter. The three originals could be titled "Open Up", "With Bud", and "Malt Liquor", and the other three song titles could be used to make it into a concept album (that sort of thing being very big back then, sort of a "Dark Side of the Beer").
