I wouldn’t consider grey markets stuff for me to complete my collection personally.

I’m pretty sure I have the complete discography of Bob Reynolds as a leader/co-leader. I have everything from Christian Scott as a leader. These are all relatively small compared to Mal. I would estimate I have 85% of Vinny Golia’s releases as a leader/co-leader. Anything Makoto Kawashima releases I buy. I’m working on Masabumi Kikuchi discography but it’s hard and expensive. I’m also working on getting the complete Asian Improv Records catalog slowly.

Disc 3 which is basically B-Sides/edits. This set is something to behold especially if you are a Prince fan. (I still contend his best album, though I understand the disagreement with my contention, is Emancipation.) I followed this with my favorite Bowie album (which I know is controversial as well):

Nicholas Payton - Relaxin' With Nick

Vinny Golia and Peter Kowald - Mythology

Per Wikipedia: Television coverage of the 1965 baseball World Series included an advertisement by Chrysler that featured a version of Morgan's recording.[8] Morgan was watching the program, did not know that his composition was to be used, and found out the next day that its use had not been authorized.[8] After Morgan threatened to sue, Chrysler agreed not to show the advertisement again and settled the case.[8] [8] Perchard, Tom (2006) Lee Morgan: His Life, Music and Culture, Equinox, p. 159.

I know what you mean. I probably wouldn’t have gotten it yet except I waited on the 1999 super deluxe and it went oop and doubled + in price. I enjoy Sign O The Times so much more I didn’t want to miss it.

Yeah, I think Compositions to Facts is a natural progression. In the UK my guess is outside of some of the early Ninewinds vinyl releases, you would only have the higher chance to see Puff of Smoke or One, Three, Two. One, Three, Two was a German release I think and Puff of Smoke an Italian release (not positive about either but I remember them being hard to find because they weren't released in the US). He also had Birdology on Leo Records which I'm not super high on, but honestly haven't spun it much.

I always felt like Vinny's large ensemble stuff is like an onion. With each listen your taking off another layer and its becoming more and more the music it was created to be. Facts of Their Own Lives, Pilgrimage to Obscurity, and Commemoration are probably where I would head next. The DVD's "Overview" and "20th Anniversary" are/were easy and cheap to find. I'm ashamed to admit I have Live at the Red Cat on DVD and haven't opened it yet. Will rectify soon. I used to see Vinny's cds cheap ($2 to $5) everywhere here (especially Amoeba and Poo Bah) so if anyone is looking for something I'm happy to keep my eyes peeled for you when/if I venture back out to record stores. This also made me think, though it would never happen, a Mosaic with Vinny's large enesemble stuff would be awesome.

After my first set was scratched I gave Amazon a try. One disc can with minor scuffing but it played fine. Just a treasure trove of prime Prince. I've never been a huge bootleg collector, and what boots I do have are shows, this is awesome. It is very expensive but I feel worth the price.

I have a Japanese release with the full saw.

I bought the set at a local record shop...had to return it. Disc 5,6 and 7 were scratched to hell. Only set they had and they weren’t sure when they might get more. I’m trying amazon now.

They talked to Mark Canha in the A’s game and I found it fascinating. He explained what he was thinking through his awesome catch and the changes he made while playing. Enlightening stuff to me and strange that someone is so opposed to it. Especially given baseball high pace..

I’ve been trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on it, mainly for the book

Started the morning with Chad Taylor/Brian Settles and Neil Podgurski - The Daily Biological. Its fantastic and easily a favorite release of this year. followed with: Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah - Axiom music is excellent but the sound quality has left me a little cold.

Trying to decide if I want to spring for the Super Deluxe Edition that recently came out. The OG vinyl has always sounded so good to me, I want to justify the purchase but can't convince myself. The CD version I have is adequate but sounds slammed to me, unlike the vinyl which makes sense given the "newness" of cds at the time. Also trying to decide if I want to get Emancipation on vinyl given my affection for that album (strangely I know but probably my favorite Prince album) but never being happy with the cds sound.

you can pre-order the whole angel city jazzfest this year for $20. Really innovative idea. I was expecting it to be cancelled. I’m excited for about half of the line up but for such a little fee it’s a no brainer. Thought others might be interested as well. Line up info available here: https://angelcityjazz.com/angel-city-jazz-fest/

This is cool because you can see how vinny composes spontaneously.

I’ve seen Vinny probably a dozen times Live over the years in various configurations. His live sets are fantastic! He played one of the most amazing sopranino solos I’ve ever seen at the angel city jazz fest a couple years ago. The large ensemble stuff is great if you’re into that sound and mjazzg you will be pleased with Compositions for Large ensembles, it took me a couple years to find it. Vinny really has something for every mood. His solo work is excellent whether it’s the Solo LP from 1980 or Clarinet from 2001. He has a tape release from a couple years ago that was really good also where he plays singing bowls in conjunction with horns. The music for series is excellent but not something I return to as often as other stuff, but usually it’s in a flurry through the series when I do. Trajectory releases a couple years ago is a favorite. The Steve Adams duo albums at great as well. I agree some of his output is hard to find but if you dig a little it’s there. I’ve never been disappointed by a release of his or the nine winds label. Two releases that are rare and should buy on site and are both fantastic are Puff of Smoke and One, Three, Two. I think they’re Italian releases maybe. I think this was the release concert for Trajectory

Agreed on both! I’ve streamed Astral Plane Crash multiple times just haven’t added it to the collection yet. I’m well over 60 led or co-led Vinny releases so I can’t stop now. Haha.

I had two that I recently rectified Marcus Strickland - Of Song and Christian Scott - Ancestral Recall. Three that I need to get and just haven't yet is Wayne Peet/Vinny Golia - No Reverse, Vinny Golia/Ken Filano - The Art of Negotiation, and Vinny Golia/Henry Kaiser/Bob Moses/Damon Smith/Weasel Walter - Astral Plane Crash. I need to order Noah Preminger's Dry Bridge Road also.

Bob Reynolds - Runway

If your question is can a non-profit utilize licensed music without purchasing the necessary license, the answer is no.

Okay, sorry for the delay, it needed a cleaning and I got Lines of Reason and the Hank Mobley Mosaic set delivered yesterday. You probably would be the only person with this seemingly obscure release if I, one, hadn't found it for a dollar, two, since i play alto sax I pick up random albums led by alto players if I find them, and three, I just buy way too much damn music. Full disclosure I am relatively unfamiliar with Basie's Orchestra so I had no clue who I was buying. But I digress, to my feedback. What a pleasant surprise!! A bit of a who's who in the band, which I updated on discogs because it should really be known. I wish it had more Turner compositions, I felt like they were the real standouts, not that the standards are bad but not as interesting for me. The sound quality is excellent, it has a real presence of the moment that you wouldn't expect from a labels first (I presume) release.I haven't looked into the label at all but now I'm curious. Really got a kick out of the end of "Stolen Sweets" on side one. I wonder if they didn't feel like cutting the tape or they just liked how it played, i prefer to think the latter. Danny Turner is very much a bop player and interestingly has a lot to say in almost exclusively without any altissimo. I feel like I Love You had some tape left that couldn't fit on the side because Danny sounded like he was turning it on as it faded. Really surprised by this and understand your excitement about it. Wouldn't mind hearing more from Danny Turner in a small setting, but this is a really strong and fun listen. I concur others should seek it out.
