I saw Azar with the Cookers this summer and he was great

Probably mentioned before here but: The Complete Sam Rivers on Impulse! I've got most of it on vinyl but lots of it hasn't been reissued on both vinyl or cd. Stuff with Dave Holland, Barry Altschul etc. that really deserves a definitive version.

Enjoy Stefan!

I think all of us who ordered recieved their copies. Hope the best for you but not a good sign you still haven’t recieved them.

Two important missing links in my Tapscott collection:

Beautiful and very accurate description of Andrew Hill. What makes it even better imo is that despite its unpredictability it still all makes sense and there’s a solid base of structure and logic in it all.

I find myself more and more addicted to the man’s music. His ability to play both out and in, fresh sound and his whole creative approach to the music is very interesting. It’s always clearly recognizable Lacy on every record yet every record is different from his last. I can’t name one favorite because he played so many styles but if I may categorize them and name a few: - Solo: 5X Monk 5X Lacy stands out as his very best though solo Lacy is almost always enjoyable. - The duets with Mal of course: most notably the Dreher stuff, Bimhuis record, Hot House and Sempre Amore. - The trios: The Holy La and the Window would be my definite picks. - The larger groups with Mal: Moods, One-Upmanship, Journey Without End, Hard Talk, Live at Sweet Basil. All essential. - Quartets and quintets: Trickles and Revenue - Sideman on Black Saint: Regeneration, Change of the Season. - The larger group works from the late 70’s early 80’s with his regular group including Potts and Aebi: Prospectus, The Way and Morning Joy. I can deal with Aebi if she sticks mostly to the theme only. If she’s very dominantly present It gets on my nerves. I like her cello playing.

happily sold my Rainbo pressing for the excellent new BNC. Big difference

Always good to check. They might as well be unplayed because they are all broken 😋

Oh yes definitely! Same goes for Victor Japan.
