Little help here? Really would like to hear some more of this...

Has anyone here got this yet, and if so how are the rarities?

Yeah, I have a tape of him sitting in with Stanley T. in the Twin Cities, so I do remember before the shit hit the fan, too bad we're still trying to get all that off of us now.

Yeah, maybe it's just not the right day for it for me - I'll give it another listen later.

So I went to Youtube and listen to some of the album in question. Made me thing 'Lester Bowie Plays Wynton Marsalis', only that would've been more fun. Interestingly, NO comments to any of the videos from the album that I looked at. I found the other work of Wooley's embedded in this thread even less interesting, oh well. On the other hand the Sil Austin/Red Prysock is rockin' my world as we speak. As does the Bradford/Carter, in a different way.

I really don't hear any of that, YMMV obviously.

John Patton's Blue John has 5 previously unissued bonus tracks, new tunes not alternates, decidedly less greasy than what was originally included There's at least 2 albums by the Three Sounds with a bunch of bonus tracks, again new tunes but I don't have those Lou D's Here 'Tis has one bonus untitled blues, again don't have it (yet) I'm pretty sure there's more, would love to see some of this, and other previously unissued BN out domestically at more reasonable prices.

I can't believe I actually posted that...and in further Oscar Peterson reaching out from beyond the grave news: In addition, Bösendorfer will release a limited-run Oscar Peterson Signature Edition Piano equipped with Yamaha Disklavier E3 technology. Note-for-note, the instrument faithfully reproduces 13 Peterson piano performances originally captured during the ’70s using the Pianocorder Recording System from Superscope/Marantz. With the touch of a button, the piano’s keys and pedals come alive, moving up and down to recreate Peterson’s performances of “Tenderly,” “Take The ‘A’ Train,” “Lush Life,” “Back Home Again In Indiana,” “Who Can I Turn To,” “Falling In Love With Love,” “Body And Soul,” “Blues Of The Prairies,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Misty,” “A Time For Love,” “Old Folks” and “Someone To Watch Over Me.” Only 12 of the reproducing pianos will be available for sale worldwide through official Bösendorfer dealers (at a list price of $189,999). The Oscar Peterson Signature Edition Piano will make its North American debut on Dec. 11 prior to the “Oscar @ 90” concert at Koerner Hall, where it will be on display in the lobby. The instrument’s U.S. release will take place during the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, in late January.

Turned out OK, even if it wasn't a very big crowd. Now I've got Witchie Tai To stuck in my head, not that that's a bad thing...

"OK, just pulled the plug" I think you mean 'pulled the trigger' (an unfortunate metaphor); pulled the plug means to get rid of or cancel something, pulled the trigger means to go ahead and do it. sorry to be pedantic.

...and the College of Received Opinion!

As Mouse (of the Traps) said in his magnum bogus "A Public Execution": You better get yourself a welder, babe! Not sure which part opf Texas he was from...

If you had one of these too, and lived in the right bldg, you could live an entirely deco-dent existence.

This Derek Bailey album has been in my music room player for months now so that when I'm done with whatever else I'm listening to this automatically comes up next as a braceing palette cleanser. Kinda reminds my of John Fahey's the New Possibility that way, anyone else hear it this way?

Someone should put this Henderson on an album cover, v. art deco IMHO.

I was listening to the Sandy Denny box and something came on that sounded like Weather Report in the middle ages, where can I get more of that?

Thanks for all the replies, wide variety of opinions as usual. I guess I was being too cryptic, as usual, what I was trying to get at more than the relative merits of those particular albums, is the joys of 'lesser works' in general and the role of perceptions and reputations in same...for a different example, I think I've enjoyed Eddie Floyd's Knock On Wood (Album) and Johnny Taylor's Wanted One Soul Singer and Wm Bell's Soul of a Bell as much as anything on Stax - and not, I like to think, because I'm a genre or label fanatic but because the're just good music and sometimes that's good enough, the genre conventions and the songwriting (or lack thereof) just falls away and I hear a bunch of people working together to make it as good as they can in that moment.

Up, don't care if you dislike Justin, haven't heard of Stapleton, dislike country, awards, whatever, just watch....

The most alive thing I've seen on an awards show in ages.

Interesting choice of words, but I feel you pain.

So, recently I was feeling sorry for myself thinking I might not get around to re-listening to all the music I've spent so much time & $ collecting and I pulled out Lee Morgan's Charisma (Liberty LP) and The Sixth Sense (expanded CD) - generally thought of as lesser efforts, but I quite enjoyed them. Lowered expectations or is the received opinion here just wrong?

Well no, I didn't have anything to do with writing or producing this - I'm just the staff liaison for the non-staff people who are using our space to put it on. I know people who had musical and business dealings with him and I certainly saw him play a few times round town.
