The Billie Harris album is great Nimbus West stuff.

This is the better way to get the Groundhogs albums 1&keywhttp://www.amahttp://www.amazon.com/Thank-Christ-Groundhogs-Liberty-1968-1972/dp/B003P6BB5E/ref=sr_1_1? and this is the better way to get the Hathaway albums s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1456628434&sr=1-ords=groundhogs+thank+christzon.com/Someday-Well-All-Be-Free/dp/B0036FB9JC in both cases, far superior packaging and sound quality for $5 to $10 more. Those OAS sets are great as low-cost introductions, but not too good for permanent collections of artists you care about.

I have the Jam Sessions box available if someone wants a good deal on it. It's fine, but my tastes being what they are, I'm never going to listen to it again.

Wow, never heard of her or it. Would be more rewarding than the 5th or 6th repackaging of some Wes/Oscar/Ella side.

only this time as digital downloads....

Yes, I bought it.

Pm sent on McCoy Tyner - Mosaic Select $35

sounds great to me, DL please!

Thanks to all, sound like great suggestions, and I will investigate. Yes, my interest is definitely prior to 1975. Fusion was mostaly a formulaic mess by then, was incredibly exciting at times 3-5 years earlier.

So I really love the late 60's/early 70's Terumasa Hino stuff, and now have totally fallen for the Masabumi Kikuchi albums from the same period. What related recordings would I really like that might be reasonably available and reasonably priced?

Does not play the tracks on my work PC. I'll try on my home PC later today. OK, second time in it did start playing tracks. But I had waited 15-20 seconds the first time in, so I guess I am hitting whatever issue Dan hit.

Pm sent on the Lake and Lacy sets.

"Can't Hide Love" might be, also! I still listen to EWF a LOT, as much as I listen to any jazz artist. And Charles Stepney - yeah. 'Peace' by the Rotary Connection gets played in full while I decorate the Christmas Tree every year.

Yes, happy birthday my friend, have a great one. Thanks for all you do for us!

So sorry to hear that. His music added so much to so many lives.

I'm also in the "adept but rather generic" camp - except for "Can't Hide Love" from the 'Workin' album, a live organ trio with Kyle Koehler and Cecil Brooks III, which has always knocked me out. Released under Braden's name, but I would bet it was Brooks' gig (he is listed as the producer). I never avoid anything when I see Braden's name, I've never seen him live.

Really? Always thought "Jingo" and "Oye Como Va" were literary gems " It is sort of weird to hear 68 year old Gregg Rolie talking about partying down, but the thing SOUNDS good. You're totally right of course, sound always was the point. This one works fine for me. Won't replace the first 5 years of their albums, but I do want to hear it.

Gave it a listen. It will sound great on a car radio.

Lloyd's 2015 album, 'Wild Man Dance', is spectacular. I've never been able to see him live. He played at a community college near my house one time, and I was set to go, but something (don't remember what) happened to nix it, and I've always regretted that. Pretty amazing career.

Yep, rambuctious indeed! I'm in, too.

79:30, and if the times from the old analogue back covers are a little off, it might exceed 80 minutes, which is "Danger, Will Robinson" territory.

Me too.

So sorry to hear about Signe Anderson! Here is a key quote from the Jorma post on Paul Kantner " The Airplane was an amazing aggregate of personalities and talent. That we could all coexist in the same room was amazing. That we could function together and make the lasting art that we did was nothing short of a miracle. In my opinion Paul was the catalyst that made the alchemy happen. He held our feet to the flame. He could be argumentative and contentious… he could be loving and kind… his dedication to the Airplane’s destiny as he saw it was undeniable"
