Here are the ones I can fully recommend. The Tyner 'Extensions' album and the Elvin Jones 'Coalition' and 'Genesis', the Hutcherson Montreux set, the Lee Morgan, the Jones/Lewis, and the Wayne Shorter are classics to my ears. YMMV. The Tyner is, to me, absolutely one of the greatest albums ever made, period. 4346: The Thad Jones/ Mel Lewis Orchestra - Consummation (1/20/70, 1/21/70, 1/28/70, 5/25/70) 4354: Jeremy Steig - Wayfaring Strangers (3/??/70) 4361: Elvin Jones - Coalition (7/17/70) 4363: Wayne Shorter - Odyssey of Iska (8/26/70) 4369: Elvin Jones - Genesis (2/12/71) 4417: Hank Mobley - Thinking of Home (LT 1045) (7/31/70) BN-LA 006-F McCoy Tyner - Extensions BN-LA 015-G2 Elvin Jones - Live at the Lighthouse BN-LA 054-F Horace Silver - In Pursuit of the 27th Man BN-LA 223-G McCoy Tyner - Asante BN-LA 224-G Lee Morgan - The Last Session BN-LA 249-G Bobby Hutcherson - Live at Montreux BN-LA 710-G Bobby Hutcherson - The View from the Inside BN-LA 789-G Bobby Hutcherson - Knucklebean

Thanks Alan, sounds like a good one.

Yeah, I had it on my Amazon wish list for quite a while before a copy suddenly showed up at a somewhat affordable price! gregmo Yeah, I have the Collectables twofer, not included to pay $40 for the eight minutes of missing music ("Monterey Mist" and "Home").

I'm a big Friedman guy. Can you provide details on that session?

What did your cost work out to per CD? With shipping, $68.97 for the 6 titles. (I had about $1.50 worth of points in there too.) Works for me thanks!

Any thoughts/dscriptions/pro- or con- recommendations on the Hino titles?

I'm also a fan of their reissues.

That's a nice one, it was on CD before, but is still rare. I'm waiting for them to reissue 'Blues At Carnegie Hall' .... Me, too. That was a double butcher job by Collectables where they coupled it with the much more common and totally unrelated Art Blakey Atlantic album, and deleted material from the otherwise unavailable MJQ set to make it all fit on one CD.

cd japan is also carrying them -- with a more English-friendly webpage. The Bastards also seem to be planning to stock them - not surprisingly. That's really good to know, though it's always dangerous to my wallet to go poking around their website. Anyone familiar with that Hubert Eaves title? What are the Hino titles like? Jim, I also am a fan of that Oliver Nelson date. Can you describe the Reggie Lucas in more detail?

google won't translate the page from the link for me. Does anyone have access to a listing of these titles in English?

Thanks, but too far removed from what I listen to. If anyone is interested in that box, let me know, and we can try to work a three-way deal.

PM sent on the McLean.

Marvelous woman and marvelous musician. Saw her on a bill with McCoy Tyner at the Keswick Theater when she was pushing 75, and she held her own just fine and had some glorious duets with him at the end. http://articles.philly.com/1993-04-19/entertainment/25981465_1_marian-mcpartland-mccoy-tyner-twilight-world From the article: And he fashioned some sweet duets with the charming Marian McPartland, who performed her own solo set before Tyner's and shared the bill with him at the nearly full theater. Tyner displayed a virtuosity and a generosity of spirit that reverberated along with the music. He entered with his massive shoulders in a gray jacket and his hair drawn back in a ponytail. He worked over every tune with dynamics that ranged from deafening washes of sound to telltale plinks of ivory magic. One measure of his performance was the length of time between the end of a tune and the start of the audience's applause. Long seconds elapsed before the spectators could return from the Tyner-sphere. That Tyner would play with McPartland, as they did at the concert's end, would surprise many. McPartland belongs to a far earlier, swing generation, yet that stylistic gulf didn't matter a whit. She and Tyner lined up their pianos soundboard to soundboard, and he melded his sound with hers over four tunes, including his own "Passion Dance," and produced some tender moments. McPartland, who led off with a set of pleasant standards, including her own ''Twilight World," has good technique for any age. But she sounded finer with Tyner.

You won't regret it.

Like the piano on #22 a lot. Struck by how very different BFT #130 is from my BFT#129, opposite ends of a spectrum, and jazz has many spectrums. Big Tent for that term jazz, isn't there?

So I'll skip the 73, eventually look for the 77 (but not at $17). Even most "legit" "finds" don't seem to really measure up to expectations, such as the 32jazz Left Bank sets (huge disappointments to me), the latest Blue Note Monk live set from a couple years ago, etc. The Blue Note Monk/Trane from a couple of decades ago and this latest Charles Lloyd set with Szabo are two exceptions.

So I entered the 21st century and got a tablet,a Kindle Fire. What jazz apps, especially for listening, do you recommend?

Uniique and wonderful decade for sure. I also love the 50's and 60's as decades for jazz. Wouldn't want to have to choose one of them, the way I can easily choose the 60's for rock. To me, the dropoff from the 70's to the 80's in jazz is depressing, though explainable on a macro level (seeking the next Wynton).

Anyone familar with this one? Saw it on an email from jazzmessengers.com. Sound promising if the sound quality is OK.. Also, how is that June 1977 CD on Promishing Music? Probably pretty wonderful.

I can understand your frustration, but I know as both a frequent buyer and a frequent seller here, there are other circumstances that come into play. I will often make or receive queries looking to do a trade or to grant or receive a volume discount on a large sale or purchase. Those don't lend themselves to posting on the thread ahead of time.

Thanks. Yeah, the 70's were anything but a wasteland. There was some commercialized dross, but also a whole lot of utter brilliance. Just need to look the right places.
