Grant Green + sax + organ = music goodness. Look forward to this release!

I didn't think I would get this set, as I ordered very late. Looking forward to it!!!

In the mail, the massive box set......

I love the Sterns' label, excellent titles throughout.

The following are for sale, free shipping in the US, to be determined for overseas: All the cds are like new condition, no scratches on the discs XXXX= sold I accpet paypal only. Please send a PM if interested.

Ordered these from da bastids:

I received shipping confirmation from Leo a day after I placed the order.

RIP to an American master. His string quartets are among the finest ever.

Probably about the same as the 3-CD set from Definitive that covers 1946-51 (master takes only). I was thinking the same thing.

The Soviet jazz discs are an acquired taste -- I'll probably be the only dissenting voice on those sets. But then again, I am not a fan of the Ganelin group either. I always found the Leo records catalogue to be daunting to explore, because of many of the artists on their label. One of the artists I did take a chance on are the Actis Band -- sounds like right up my alley for genre bending musical gynmastics. Or musical turrets...... The Golden Years series, on the other hand, are no brainers. The Jazz Bunker, African Tapes, Cassava Balls and the Sun Ras are all must haves. I was mildly tempted by the Anthony Braxtons but to be honest, his Arista years are the high points for me. Perhaps someone can set me straight on the Leos. Snakish featuring Wadadah Leo Smith looks promising, so I ordered a copy. All the Fonda/Stevens Group discs are recommended, but I prefer the FAB trio more (Billy Bang and Barry Altschul!!). Any other recommendation?

Put in an order. Wanted to point out for the curious that the William Parker/Joelle Leandre cds are outstanding, wonderful duo bass music.

Thanks for the links. Loved his playing!

Jazz dies because it is not referencing a base that could be accessible and receptive to a large population? Does the American Songbook provide the foundation which made jazz popular (i think not).

Made an edit.

It is a fine session, which should be better known.

It'll only be released after he passes away, like The Struggle Continues with Dewey Redman.

Sun Ra. I can't believe how many I have (100+ discs).

I would look forward to the reissue, if and when it happens!

What Wayne has been playing only he and his band mates know. There are hints at compositions; but they veer off to parts unknown, and god bless them for it.

Doesn't start till November 1, or am I wrong?

M Williams was totally not on the ball on that play, and it costs the Skins the game. They have to make some personnel changes at safety -- they experimented with D Hall, perhaps they should commit to it. I had low expectations for this team this year, but even with a 3-4 record, this is just nuts from an offensive standpoint.

The Thing with Barry Guy - Metal (No Business)

I have a Spin Clean at home and while it is all manual, it works for me, and my records sound clean.

I remember an old commercial that featured a record cleaner that looked like that -- perhaps the same one? I would pass, and look for a Spin Clean instead.
