Hell, I could do this for hours, but I got's some work to do. Here's the link, you can look for more HERE!!!!! This would be a great source for Avitars too, I might add. I know I plan to steal a few myself...

I know, this one isn't a classic cover (it's from 1996), but damn - it sure looks like a classic BN cover to me!!

Again, these might be very familiar to all of you - but I hadn't ever seen them before today.

And, in particular, the version of "Poppin" shown above, is different than the Japanese one (GXF 3066) that I see on page 278 of the most recent BN Cover Art book (the small-format book, 7"-square footprint). What's the story on the two different covers for "Poppin"?? (PS: A couple of these are in the BN Cover Art book, so I guess I have seen them - but most of these are unfamiliar to me.)

What's the link??? - what's the link????? :o ( )

I think I have an extra Ornette "Foxhole" Conn, but I'll have to check. (Actually, I know I used to have an extra one - but don't remember if I traded it away, or gave it to a friend maybe.) I'd be interested in one of the Sonny Clark discs, but I'd have to remember which one(s) I already have, and don't have. (I'm pretty sure I don't have both of the one's you're offering in trade.)

By far the best ones (IMHO) are the 2 different Tolliver dates, and the 2 different Cowell dates. The sound quality on Cowell's "Brilliant Circles" is only so-so (and that's being very polite about it), but the music is absolutely top-notch. "Brilliant Circles" has some of the best 'adventuresome'-type playing from Woody Shaw, plus a rare appearance by Tyrone Washington!! All four are 'must-have' items, IMHO.

the NEW Radiohead CD. (Supposedly it's gonna be called "Hail to the Theif", or so I'm told.) ( Got a burn of it about 3 hours ago, and it's not supposed to hit the streets until June 10th. )

I might add that "Boogaloo" is my all-time favorite John Patton album. It's heavy, deep, baddd!!, phatt!!! -- all rolled into one!!!! :rsly: :rsmile: B) !!!

(Gary Thomas plays flute on a few tracks, on the album I mentioned up above. Still, the album is mostly tenor/alto.)

I was just thinking about Grant Green's "Solid" - with Joe Henderson & James Spaulding, and that got me thinking about other great alto/tenor combos (without trumpet, nor sacbut), but with just one tenor and one alto as the only horns, backed by whatever else - piano trio, maybe vibes, maybe just drums & bass. One other that sprung to mind was an excellent album by Gary Thomas (tenor) with Greg Osby, called "Pariah's Pariah" I'm sure there are hundreds of others, and a couple dozen I'm forgetting. What other great tenor/alto albums are really outstanding???

If that's the case, what could ever justify releasing the Candido????

Well, Bruce, did they have it??? I'm on spin #4 in less than 24 hours. The 3-part horn arrangements are really sweet.

I'm not the seller, and all the usual disclaimers apply. This one has been OOP for some time, released on CD in 1995. http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid...75&meta_id=null

I should have also said that there really hasn't ever been any kind of decent release of any of this material (prior to the Conn release in 2002). Overlapping releases, on many labels - and nearly a dozen reissues on other labels (most gray-market), with even a more confusing collection of some of these tunes. Mislabeled, crappy sound, everything you could ever fear... I had very low expectations for this release ("IS") when I first heard about it coming out as a 2CD Conn. How I ever took the plunge, I really don't know - and can't really remember either. I may have sampled it in the store, is my only guess. I sure wouldn't have bought it without giving it a spin first. That said - it turned out (for me) to be the very best of all the Conns released in 2002. (I already had the McLean Mosaic.)

The Corea "IS" 2-CD set is the only way to go for this material. Both in terms of Sound Quality (which basically sucks on nearly all the previous issues), as well as completeness of the material. Here's the track listing... ===================================== 1. It (Corea) - 0:30 2. The Brain (Corea) - 10:10 3. This (Corea) - 8:18 4. Song of the Wind (Corea) - 8:05 5. Sundance (Corea) - 10:02 6. The Brain [alternate take] (Corea) - 7:26 7. This [alternate take] (Corea) - 11:49 ===================================== 1. Song of the Wind [alternate take] (Corea) - 6:46 2. Sundance (Corea) - 12:28 3. Jamala (Holland) - 14:07 4. Converge (Corea) - 7:59 5. Is (Corea) - 28:54 6. Jamala [alternate take] (Corea) - 8:57 7. Converge [alternate take] (Corea) - 7:59 ===================================== The alternate takes are particularly significant (on disc #1, in particular), because (if I remember right), most of them feature Chick on electric (Fender Rhodes, I think) on one version of each tune, and then on accoustic piano on the other version. Maybe not every pair of alternates, but I think this is true on several of them. I used to have one of the many gray-market CD issues of some of this material (I think it was called "The Brain"), and it was a mish-mash of about 30-40% of the material, at most. That said, anybody with one or more of the incomplete prior issues are certainly encouraged to participate - if I should happen to pick the Corea "IS" discs, which I am (kinda) leaning towards, maybe... (At least at this moment.)
