20-24-ish minutes of a Live 1959 Jam Session at a Chicago club led by Philly Joe Jones? Feels kind of underwhelming to me. And shouldn't this sort of thing be what selling downloads is for? That box set seems very strange/exploitative. $225 for four LP's and trinkets? BN seems to be really milking the cash cow these days in a lot of ways. Though the upcoming Tyner/Henderson set is very exciting and an essential purchase for me. Edit - Also being discussed here:

My wife and I are HUGE Rory fans!

Underwhelming at this late date despite the reputation (and the sound quality isn't so hot, either), but still an interesting listen for the faithful. I'm a semi-faithful, so it's borderline for me. I'm likely to stick with the original studio albums:

And throw in the Prestige albums. Those were so chopped up, it would be nice to have them in session order.

I do too, a lot.

Huxley saw this coming almost 100 years ago:

Yes, Dan Gould. I checked in with @Gdgray , and he's thankfully OK.

Anyone heard from Dan?

Landfall was nearest to Siesta Key, a beautiful beach near Sarasota. Maybe 45 minutes south of Tampa?

Is Crowdfunding a possible approach? How does @AllenLowe manage to do his releases?

He was still playing really well at that point, especially on the earliest albums on that box. These were recorded right after his magnificent run of Steeplechase albums. The Village Vanguard double album with Woody Shaw's group is absolutely essential, and you get the latest remaster in this box. Highly recommended in every regard.

RIP. I recommend this set if you're interested in her work:

Thanks. Looks to be only subscription-based at this point.

Expensive day, but prices I couldn't pass up...

Supporting musicians include Richard Davis, Mike Mainieri, John Tropea. Same era as "Season of Lights", so largely redundant, but quite beautiful.

Where do I find that?

The Mingus is a really nice set.

Also @Gdgray .

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. And we have a niece who lives in St. Pete.

He played on Cecil Payne and Clifford Jordan Strata East albums recorded in 1969.

I've never heard them, see that they're only on vinyl. I guess this is case where youtube is my friend. Also a case where I would pay for downloads, which I'm normally loathe to do. I think I have all of her recordings with Sonny Simmons in one form or another. She was something, and quite overlooked.

And subtract the great Frank Foster, who often went far afield of mainstream.

And even when they do it, not necessarily that great. The Dylan 1974 Live box came down on Amazon from $129.99 to $107.99. Sounds good? I paid $88.25 + $3.99 shipping (so $92.24 total) on ImportCDs.
