The Tina Brooks LP set. Holy Grail stuff then.

I always assumed it was Sanders. Really don't think it's Thomas. Compare the vocal to the vocals Thomas did on the Mapleshade album with Gary Bartz around the same time. I know Sanders seems to get into that George Adams hoarse blues voice sometimes on "You Got To Have Freedom" etc., but I don't doubt he had that vocal in him on that cut. Another observation - I'm amazed how much strength and beauty he still has in his playing!

Order placed!

Then I guess we need to keep both of you...but we COULD have a poll on who should buy who the Hancock box.

and the second stint on Blue Note would be the "unplugged" years...

I'll also put in a plug for the Select. 'Expansions' and 'Extensions' are awesome, 'Asante' is fascinating, and the outtakes are well worthwhile for the most part. 'Extensions' and 'Sahara' are probably the picks of Tyner for me if I had to pick (though I own almost everything he's done)

Should we start a poll and vote on which one goes?

And Pete LaRoca's Turkish Women At The Bath. That's my favorite Gilmore (and some fine Chick Corea). Very unusual sounding date.

Oh,so you underestimate their musical tastes just because they are beautiful young women! You don't want to stereotype a whole group of people now, do you? I have a 23-year-old daughter.

At one point in my life (vinyl era) I had to sell off 80% of my collection. But almost all of it came back around on CD. Since then have never been squeemish about selling off things, which makes me able to try a lot I would not otherwise.

DL please - from the looks of the focus group, I'm expecting a lot of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus type material.

and that Moncur!

I was blessed to hang out at Jerry Gordon's Third Street Jazz back in the day, had access to a lot of amazing stuff. For instance, the entire Black Jazz catalog as $.99 cutouts. Article excerpt below. I also had an amazing guy at Franklin Music who turned me onto a lot of great stuff like Charles Tolliver and John Handy, and let me buy "risk free" - if I didn't like one of his recommendations, I could return and exchange it (I never did). http://articles.philly.com/1997-12-19/news/25555198_1_stores-jim-donio-vast-musical-knowledge ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Street, which began in 1972 as a 2,500-square-foot hole in the wall on Third barely north of Market, was once the largest of the city's independent record stores. Now it joins Penn Records, the Record Museum, Red Dot and Radio 437 in the bins of history. Jerry Gordon, a 21-year-old record collector, started Third Street by stocking discards from labels such as Riverside and Blue Note. ``I found that people were coming in for all kinds of black music, not just jazz,'' recalled Gordon, now head of Evidence Records, the Conshohocken-based jazz and blues label he founded in 1991. ``Then punk and new-wave people came looking for rare imports. The store just evolved based on what people wanted.'' Third Street became a hangout where people talked and listened, and where more than a few regulars met their future spouses. ``It was a really fun place with total reverence for music,'' Gordon said. ``Music first.''

Thom, you're about 15 years shy of me - I'll be 59 next month, started college in fall of '72. and got into this music that first semester, big bang via 'A Love Supreme'. 'Ghetto Music' is a heck of an introduction for a four year old!

Great price on a great set.

Indeed you might

Randy, PM with link sent, thanks!

For the most part I agree with you. I do like 'Infidels', 'Time Out of Mind' and the two albums of traditional songs quite a bit. The *'s mean those were remastered for this box. And ya know what? I'll buy 73 volumes of the bootleg series if they stay in the 60's and early-mid 70's with it, 'cuz it's Bob Dylan, and he was fascinating until he lost his muse around 'Street Legal'.

I'll trade you mine after I get the box

Columbia acquired the rights to 'Planet Waves' and 'Before The Flood' when Dylan resigned with Columbia in '74-'75. Everything else in his career has been recorded for Columbia/Sony.
