Da Bastids do show an LP of it available for $12.99. Joe Chambers is just awesome on this!

Not a prime candidate for future RIAA Gold Record certification then.

While that has to be a mistake, it ain't gonna be cheap (or anywhere on my radar): Crystal CD edition of "Waltz For Debby" release from Bill Evans Trio. This product is released in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the original recording of the album. Features 2013 DSD remastering based on the US original analog master tapes. This set comes with a Pure LP edition and a SHM-CD edition of the album, both of which use the same DSD master. LP box packaging. *Crystal Disc is made of glass material for pursuing the ultimate audio quality, and it fully compatible with standard CD players.

Saw Roach/Harper/Cecil Bridgewater (I think)/Reggie Workman at Keystone Korner ca. 1976-77. Great stuff. Workman took the greatest bass solo I've ever heard live. Rest of the show wasn't bad either - Dexter Gordon quintet and Bobby Hutcherson group.

So would I, obviously

I have both titles on my sale/trade list. Contact me if interested.

So I look at the Blue Note description, and prepare to make a snarky comment. Then I see a Jimmy Giuffre composition and Gabor Szabo's "Lady Gabor" in the titles, and I reconsider. Then I see Arto Lindsay, Sonic Youth and Annette Peacock with writer credits and all those string players, and remember that I never have liked anything else I've ever heard by Cline, and I decide to make the snarky comment anyways. Jim and I are the same age, so I suspect I'm also too old for this. Had this nightmare where, at Ike Quebec's instigation in 1962, Blue Note dropped Jackie McLean from their roster so that they could concentrate on wider distribution for Dodo Greene's 'My Hour of Need'.

Are there any of the Roach Quartet recordings with Harper that are available on CD? I've never seen them. I have 'Lift Every Voice and Sing', but that's a horse of a very different stripe.

Pm sent on the Motian box.

Nice set if you are a completist for her work from that era (I am, but irrationally so), but otherwise you are better served by a good best of, as she was not really an album artist then. Gets even more maddening because her US and British albums varied in content, so there is no clean way to get it all without a good bit of overlap. I do strongly recommend this 30 cut beauty, available for $4.99 and shipping on Amazon Marketplace.

Agreed, not to be missed!

Looks like we've come a ways from Larry Willis and Joe Henderson, let alone Al Kooper and Steve Katz.

It's pretty good, writing is meh. Not nearly as striking as what came before (on Imperial) or after (the monster hits on Philly International that helped define an era). BTW, here is a great Philly International album cut that was spectacularly popular here, even though it was not a charting song.

I think Wilbur Little and Gene Perla brought a lot to those Blue Note albums with their bass playing. Wonder if that was Jones's conception of how he wanted the bass to be played? My favorite is 'Coalition' for the great versions of 'Yesterdays' and 'Simone', but I really like all the Blue Notes. Farrell, Coleman, and Foster all did great playing with him, in all cases as good or better than anything they ever did otherwise. Liebman and Grossman also did themselves proud, especially given their ages (especially Grossman in that regard).. I find parts of 'Heavy Sounds' very self-indulgent, and the live stuff has too many long drum solos, but all have value. Don't remember him ever making an unworthy album, just different levels and degrees of goodness.

Five excellent Paul Bley Steeplechase CD's. $40 shipped to USA address. PM or email john.felser@verizon.net if interested "Paul Bley/Neils-Henning Orsted Pederson" "Questions" "If We May" "Notes on Ornette" "Indian Summer"

Those box sets don't even list personnel. Bad even for their genre.

Received her 'Aquarius' CD in a trade with another board member, and love it. Was not familiar with her prior to this. What else do I need to hear by her, and what else has she done with that "Ice Crystal" group? Thanks.
