I think I saw him at a Deep Purple concert back in the early 70's.

I ordered the Astrud Gilberto and am glad to have it, but I guess that just shows I'm old...

And me. You know my tastes well by now! Four down, three to go.

I'll take them at that price.

Beautifully remastered set of their six classic Elektra albums. $25 shipped or interesting trade.

1 - Beautiful. Milton Nascimento-ish. 2 - Certainly good and sounds early 70's, prime era for me. Joe Henderson? 3 - interesting, for sure. 4 - Walt Dickerson? Wonderful. 5 - Well, that tenor solo certainly went off in a different direction that I would have expected. Sounds like two totally different recordings edited together. Sort of Tito Puente meets early Pharoah Sanders or something. 6 - The sound of vinyl - snap, crackle, pop! "Out of this World". Sure hope I have (or can get) this. Really like the sax solo. 7 - Again, quite gorgeous. ECM-ish done right. Look forward to the reveal. 8 - Wonderful, gotta have it! What an amazing BFT! 9 - Karin Krog,"All Blues" from 'Something Borrowed, Something New'. Very haunting singer, firs heard her on an ENJA set that had a great Hutcherson/Land festival cut. 10 - Pretty and well-played. 11 - Reminds me of the Paul Winter consort, though there is no David Darling cello in this. Lovely. Awesome BFT, one of my all-time favorites. I hate the idea of waiting a month for the reveal, though it will let me figure out better how to afford all the new recordings I need to go buy from this!

Yeah, some of that Pacific Jazz material is a mess! They did some very strange editing for different reasons at different times.

BGO generally does a great job on remastering.

His best work was done with the group Trapeze early on. Talented guy, I actually preferred his singing to David Coverdale's in Deep Purple.

That Earland is my favorite organ combo recording ever!

PM sent on the Bud Powell set.

I received the box, have listened to all of the Borca material on it, and I like her playing (and her instrument). The box in whole is pretty great, as others had noted. I still have the 1975 loft trio set on the box left to listen to for the first time.

That's $14 with shipping. Not worth it in the internet age to me, though it would likely pay for itself if you resell the set.

And this is pretty much my take on Irene Aebi (in fairness, I have not heard Borca). I can deal with the cello playing, but the vocalizing, not ever gonna happen for me.

Actually bought it from another board member last week and it is in the mail to me.

Well, I have the Cyrille box already (his Black Saint quartet dates are outstanding), so that may nix the Lyons box for me. I know that repetition is happening with other of these box sets also (Haden/Blackwell, if I remember).

I also own it and really like it. I'm a fan of Allen's anyways, but this is specail.

I love Lloyd's "Wild Man Dance", but in general, have been underwhelmed going all the way back to the mid-80's relaunch (or, for that matter, to the recordings made during UA era in the 70's, though they did some great catalog unearthing then). With the exception of the classic catalog items, the label has long ceased to have any special meaning to me.

How are his Black Saint recordings with Borka? Considering the 5 CD box of them.

Schon Sounded great on III and Caravanserai. But he and Carlos are very different guitarists/musicians than they were in 1971-2 (Schon was only 17-18 then), and "the starmaking machinery behind the popular song" takes its toll for sure. I look forward to giving this a listen. I tried the link above to the album and couldn't get sufficient volume for some reason - I'll have to try again another time.

But the meandering jamming was always a lot of the point! Largely serious about that.
