I wish you were, too. You've made great contributions to the Music, and brought great joy to many (including me). And I know the business is too often not financially kind.

Felser just sent many many thousands of dollars to the IRS on April 14. And he doesn't do boats!

So it turns out this apparently was originally issued with some sort of distinctive jewel boxes, which I had no idea. Mine has clear jewel boxes, but all other material (inserts, etc.) is complete and in great condition. I don't know how to properly price this, and may well just keep it (it's great music, but a lot of alternate takes from different concerts), but wanted to offer it out for a reasonable sale or trade, if someone would like to have it.

Pleased about the Evans, but the Monk seems unnecessary since All Monk seems to have dealt with that material I think "All Monk" may not have all the outtakes, though I don't know for sure.

up with edit, removed Complete Fantasy set due to Universal IT reissue.

Great, find out about the Evans less than 24 hours after I post mine for sale. Nice set, I'll keep mine then. Still hoping for the Roland Kirk box to be issued in this series.

'Stand Up' and 'Benefit' are the two best albums they ever did. 'This Was' probably makes their top five, along with 'Aqualung' and 'Thick As A Brick'.

Thanks for the notice - some of these sound fascinating!

I like the GRP acoustic stuff OK but find the electric stuff unlistenable, even though I liked the 70's RTF recordings.

I have 11 minutes for #3. Bet you don't do Keith Jarrett solo stuff!

Thanks for the info!

PM sent.

I don't see how they could be the 40th anniversary issues, which were done by an independent company, nor the Wounded Bird issues. I would expect them to be the early 90's masters that came out on Columbia/Legacy. But they were all on Sony Masterworks, so isn't that kind of tied into the Legacy banner? For me the CTI 40th Anniversary series is the best series of domestic CTI discs I ever heard, some like "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" were greatly improved, others not as big, but I really enjoyed that series, others like "Don't Mess With Mr. T" sounded very close to the original vinyl. Hope you're right, but I thought they were independently produced with some sort of licensing deal. But I may well be wrong.

2-1 Classic Hammond organ blues style which could have been recorded any time between 1960 and today. I lean later due to the guitar tone, but could well be wrong. Good stuff for sure. 2-2 “Moanin’” done at a very rapid pace. Guitarist has a gorgeous tone. While all subsequent jazz organists are impacted by Jimmy Smith, if this isn’t Smith himself, this guy REALLY is. 2-3 Monk’s “Well, You Needn’t” given the Hammond boogaloo treatment. The drum style and guitar tone would seem to give this a later recording date. I find the drumming too static and overbearing for my taste, which ultimately spoils the whole track for me. Sorta sounds like Medeski, Martin, and Wood. 2-4 Right up my alley, now this is how to do the boogaloo thing. Likely a post-Sidewinder Cannonball Adderley 60’s track on Capitol, or something like that. The saxophonist was born to play this sort of thing. If it’s not Cannonball, I’m sure he’s someone I know. Stanley Turrentine or Fathead Newman or someone along those lines. I’d be shocked if I don’t own this already, and really should be able to ID it better. Sounds like Nat and Zawinul, but I may be wrong. If for some reason I don’t own this, I’ll look to rectify that at my first opportunity. 2-5 Very well played, but a little dry for my taste. Influenced by late 60’s Miles, but not that group, and of later vintage. Very possibly European, has a little ECM mixed in. 2-6 Vinyl rip. Trumpeter reminds me of my man Charles Tolliver, but I don’t think it’s him. I’m sure the players are well-known. Nice modal thing going on with the pianist. Bass player doesn’t do it for me, at least on this cut. Curious on this cut. 50/50 I own it, better than that I’m familiar with it. 2-7 Gotta be Gene Harris, right? Interesting little interview, glad you included it. 2-8 Poetically, you’d have to do a Gene Harris cut next, right? So I’d guess this is “Summertime” by him. 2-9 Maybe Art Tatum or Earl Hines or somebody. Has a skip in it. Stylistically prior to my active radar. 2-10 Also from the Gene Harris family of pianists. On most BFT’s, the safest default guess seems to be “Sonny Stitt”, but on your’s it is, of course “Gene Harris”. 2-11 Gene Harris. Yeah, just default guessing.
