From Amazon: (Jethro Tull) Bursting Out, the live double album from 1978 is now available as the 3CD/3DVD 'Inflated Edition'. Remixed by Steven Wilson, it has been reordered back to its original running order with three additional tracks plus a Wilson mixed Madison Square Garden show from '78 on CD3. DVDs 1&2 have the remixed tracks in 96/24 stereo and 5.1 surround sound plus flat transfers of the original album at 96/24 stereo. DVD 3 has the full 93 minute MSG show including 50+ minutes of video which was part of a transatlantic broadcast with the BBC and Radio 1 with the audio being in 48/24 stereo and 5.1 surround. This Inflated Edition includes a 96 page booklet with photos, an interview with Ian Anderson, about the making of Bursting Out, tour info and excerpts from crew members Kenny Wylie and David Morris.

He is very gifted, and was at an incredibly early age (as evidenced by those albums with McCoy Tyner when he was like 21 and his first two leader albums on Prestige ). Would be interesting to hear his life story at some point, including his "disappearance" from the national scene for decades.

Amen.

https://longwoodgardens.org/events-performances/events/ruth-naomi-floyd-presents-frederick-douglass-jazz-works Ruth Naomi Floyd concert and Q&A about Frederick Douglass last night at Longwood Gardens. Her group included Keith Loftus on tenor and soprano (she raved about him to me a couple weeks ago, and was right - I'm not familiar with him otherwise) James Weidman on piano, Matthew Parrish on bass (he's spectacular), and Mark Prince on drums. Ruth wrote all of the music. Pretty spectacular. Ruth was my wife's housemate before we got married, has gone on to do amazing work in the jazz field here and in Europe over the past 30 years. Musicians who have played in her groups include Craig Handy, Bobby Zankel, Bryan Carrott, Uri Caine, Ed Howard, Charles Fambrough, Terri Lynn Carrington, and others.

I knew we tended to be "seasoned", but so many of us, at least on this thread, seem to fit a very narrow late 60's/early 70's year old window. You're scaring US, let alone them!

I'll be 70 in November. My daughter says she wants my music collection, so it's hers when I pass on (though I am constantly looking to trim it). Interesting that so many of us are in the same age group.

I saw him with Max Roach at the Keystone Korner in the 70's and his own quartet at the Painted Bride Art Center in the 90's. Wish I had a lot more opportunities through the years. I've been spellbound by his music ever since I took that last Lee Morgan album home in the early 70's and spun "Capra Black" from it over and over again.

I own three autographed baseballs. One is his. RIP.

Concord continuing to desecrate the jazz catalog they got from Fantasy. Keep milking the cow till it's dry....

Haven't we heard a couple of good reports about selling in bulk to Dah Bastids (Dusty Groove)?

😃

Great story!

Yes indeed.

I love those sides with Harper! Wish that Catalyst record was more easily available on CD (and wish they would put out that Waldron/Peacock 'First Encounter' album on CD - that's my favorite Mal Waldron album!). Blakey's 'Gypsy Folk Tales' on Roulette is a favorite of mine - World, meet the supremely gifted Bobby Watson!

Mangione and Jarrett are on the 1966 Buttercorn Lady album on the Limelight label. While the personnel was fascinating (Frank Mitchell and Reggie Johnson complete the group), the album is pretty routine, as were all of his Limelight recordings. Mangione and Jarrett had not yet found their personal styles. There were three of great early 70's Prestige Jazz Messengers albums ("Child's Dance", "Buhaina", "Anthenagin") with electric piano. Cedar Walton, Woody Shaw, and Carter Jefferson shine on these.

Another bump.

Hubbard replaced Morgan after his long initial stretch, then Morgan came back for a time after Hubbard left following his long stretch. Morgan's second stay yielded the Limelight album with Gilmore and John Hicks. Chuck Mangione and Keith Jarrett joined shortly thereafter.

I also don't like the format/packaging of the big Mosaic boxes.

This. R.I.P.

Seems like some of the later guys like Bobby Watson also had fairly long runs. Though I can't think of anybody from any era who exceeded about five years.

I got about $250 each for my Woody Shaw Muse and my Clifford Jordan Strata East sets on ebay maybe two years ago. I couldn't justify the value tied up in them for the marginal material they added to my collection over what I had on other discs (one cut on the Shaw, the Brackeen and Ware sessions on the Jordan). I agree on the value of the Mingus set, that will likely remain on my shelves for the rest of my years. I had trouble getting anything decent for two copies of the Woody Shaw CBS set (both went for under $70). Plus I chose to hold onto the JJ Johnson and Sonny Stitt sets, which I initially meant to sell, because they hold so little value in the marketplace and do have value to me.

Another Columbia move to make Monk relevant to the late 60's "youth" market:

Received mine today via USPS. 8 down, three to go, if I am counting them correctly (some are 2 CD sets, I'm counting them as one).

IIRC, unlike the other Mosaic boxes, the Bird/Benedetti was not a limited edition when it was released. So there may be more of them floating around.
