  1. Have not heard it, wish I had.
  2. The Shepp's are complete. This series has been good about that, not like the early 90's chop jobs. For Moncur, the stuff under his own name, his work with McLean/Hutcherson in the early 60's, and the 70's 'Lee Morgan' album come to mind as good examples of his playing, especially his twoBYG albums. 'New Africa' is the best thing that label ever did to me. I wish someone would put 'Echoes of Prayer', his work with the JCOA, on CD.
  3. Just with Shepp, or overall?
  4. Not at all from what I remember. Still well worth picking up.
  5. "When you hear music, after it's over it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again." Same with some of the threads here, that's all.
  6. And I sure look forward to it! And I sure look forward to it! Also, PM sent on the William Parker.
  7. I'm a huge fan, and this is the best thing he ever put out.
  8. The documentary on the Wrecking Crew is pretty fantastic (and has 6!! hours of extras). HAL BLAINE !! Listen to him on the choruses of Gene Pitney's "Last Chance To Turn Around" - marvelous.
  9. Agreed. Amazing muscian and man. Surprised no one has ever made a movie about his life. A shame that his mid-60's Columbia recordings were ignored at the time. And his later autobigraphical song, "The Truth Will Set You Free", is one of my favorite songs by anyone ever.
  10. I accidentally ordered two copies of this. Outstanding, award winning PBS documentary, 3 DVD's. Will trade for something similar, or for music, or will sell for $17 delivered in USA or reasonable offer. Let me know.

    Never really thought of it as breakfast music!

    And I had the Shepp LP. Many years gone.

    Agreed, I have the original CD release, which seems to be rare.
  14. Sort of a "me too" on his music, found it interesting in the 70's without it being important to me , but definitely a sharp and observant and exceedingly influential guy and a cultural icon in that period, and we grieve the early loss of any life.
  15. Have never been able to find this one at a reasonable price. Any leads greatly appreciated.
  16. These box sets in general sound great to my ears. No complaints about any of them, and no need for me to look for anything better. Wish I could find a good sounding, reasonably priced CD release of Wayne Shorter's "Native Dancer", as that is the only thing remotely of interest to me in the Shorter box.
  17. Yes, those were earlier. That particular one was from 1990. And the CD's in that series were trash in concept and execution. Some really bizarre 40 minute compliations also of some really important artists (such as the JJ Johnson). They got much better very quickly later in the decade.
  18. If you shop them right, you can get them for under $4 a CD.
  19. I have all of the new ones and am very happy with all of them. As far as Ellington Vol. 1, what I have seen with these boxes is they go OOP and then get reprinted eventually, and the prices readjust accordingly. The Woody Shaw went from $40 to $100+ and then back to $40.
  20. Any thoughts on how to get the 'Autumn' CD at a sane price, not the $50+ that I am seeing out there?
  21. :Low-priced remastered WEA box of their albums coming in early 2016
  22. BFT03 is what I am being sent to with "Appointment in Ghana".
  23. Sometimes when I open the online player link I go to http://www.thomkeith.com/tkbft/tkbft.html , I am getting 13 cuts displaying, cut 1 is "Appointment in Ghana". Other times, when I open the same link, I am getting the menu, and when I open BFT 142, I get 14 cuts, and the first cut is as described by BillF. Not sure what's going on, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Thom may know what I'm opening to get "Appointment in Ghana".
