I'm in for the Thornton, Kuhn, and Burrell, bought the Bley, Lyons, and Murray in December, already owned the Shepp, AEC, Moncur and Cherry titles. The Moncur is superb, and the Shepp 'Yasmina' is really strong.

Agreed, will pick up all three on CD. Especially that Hubbard (despite 24 minutes of "Bye Bye Blackbird")! I also noticed a 1978 live Talking Heads release buried in the listings - that sounds promising in theory.

Incredibly ironic. Who would have laid odds on that 50 years ago?

Yeah, he doesn't seem like a player who is going to age well, and he has already regressed some the past two seasons. Of course, we in Philly are haunted by the ghost of the Ryan Howard extension, where he averaged about a game below replacement WAR per year over the five years.

RIP, loved his work with Soft Machine, long-time favorites. Had/have all their albums on which he participated. He also seemed to have his head screwed on tight from what I could tell reading their biography. And the look with the shades was iconic.

I have not received the discs or shipping confirmation, just emailed Matt.

I was not aware of this one prior to today, can't wait to hear it. Jackie McLean on a CTI album? Yes please and thank you!

Yes, nice for filling in some missing titles, thanks. The McCord is not really jazz or even particularly close, but a nice enough album on its own terms. More of a talented 17 year old greatly influenced by the likes of 1969-era Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins.

LOL! or "Girl With No Eyes".

Could he have forced a sign-and-trade to get his supermax? If so, Davis,Christie a #1, and the contract dumps may be a much better return?

Mavs must be convinced that Doncic was not going to re-up in 2026. They also get Christie and a 2029 #1, and dump some bad contracts, but still...

I've never heard the Thornton Actuel, look forward to it. Also would love to hear that "Love's Last Cry" album.

Just ordered mine from Amazon (cheaper than other sources), arrives tomorrow.

Good for you! Did package include the final three releases which we've been waiting on?

RIP. Fascinating persona, interesting musician.

Great stuff!

Moncur's 'New Africa' is my pick of that label's output by a mile. Also, Shepp's 'Yasmina, A Black Woman', the other Moncur, and the Arthur Jones are all really good.

Thankfully already available as downloads. Wish there were CD's (or that the downloads were cheaper). Anyone familiar with these albums? How good are they? https://destination-out.bandcamp.com/album/berlin-concert https://destination-out.bandcamp.com/album/schizophrenic-blues

Reading more on the website, it does appear to be a non-profit. Board of Directors, Artistic Council, clear mission, etc.
