It's been a while for me too. I have this on a gold CD. Were all of them gold or just some of them?
I believe they were all gold. Mine is.

I don’t get reissuing easily found titles but whatever.

Random do not miss recording
Gerald Cleaver’s Black Host
Life in the Sugar Candle Mines
with
Cooper-Moore, Darius Jones, Brandon Seabrook & Pascal Niggenkemper
Northern Spy Records
I saw them twice (including their first concert in December 2010 @ Cornelia Street Cafe) and they were unbelievably great both times. This recording captures a good amount of that live energy/power which is very hard to replicate on disc being these shows were experienced from less than 10 feet from Cleaver’s drum kit.
This is an incredible album. Speaking of Darius Jones, Big Girl (smell my dream) is fantastic

I think its the vast number of releases that they have together that make it difficult to stay interested. I have 3, Bendito of Santa Cruz, The Art of The Duet vol. 1 and Callas which is 2 CDs. Bendito is the one I return to most often. The probably have a dozen CDs together if you count the 3CD and 4CD sets they released recently.

I have about 30 Ivo releases and like others it was too daunting to keep up. I think my last purchase was Callas. The great thing about Ivo's records are the variety, he is truly an innovator and relentless improvisor. Other than the albums mentioned above I recommend:
Sound Hierarchy
The Clairvoyant
The Edge
For Duo with piano albums:
Bendito of Santa Cruz w/ Matthew Ship
and
Reverie w/ Karl Berger.
My favorite Ivo just above Sad Life is Suite for Helen F, a double trio album

Michael McDaniel - Beloved
This features Bobby Bradford on cornet, Danny Grissett, Robert Miranda and Tootie!
What a collection to have together. They also play Bradford's Ashes to open the album. Really grooving stuff and Michael's tone and ideas are excellent, he's got a little Jackie Mac to his sound. This appears to have only been released as a CDr but is up for download on bandcamp minus a couple tunes.

I used buyee to get a cd from a yahoo auction. I found the fees to be a bit high and I wasn’t pleased when I had to pay twice, one for the auction and then shipping once they received it. And it hasn’t arrived which may be more pandemic than buyee though. It was Masabumi Kikuchi’s Love Song album for anyone curious.

Lewis Keel - Coming Out Swinging. This one features Harold Mabern, Jamil Nasser and Jimmy Ponder and the lesser known but quite accomplished Leroy Williams. I heard about this one in the "What are you listening to" thread and picked it up at a bargain price. Excellent stuff and one of only two recordings I could find of Lewis. The other being Memphis Convention on DIW which was a bit of a let down given the cast of personnel.

Some of those cd bundle prices...yikes!

Listening to this for the first time since the early 2000's when I promptly discarded it. The only fault I really see in this is the raps. They are poor at best, especially give how creative hip hop was becoming in the early 90's. I wonder what the final product would have been if Miles was there to see this project through. The one thing I have been struck by is how effortless and inventive Miles was without the interplay of a band. really interesting and impressive stuff. Its also intriguing how he was melding the two genres in a similar concept but vastly different way than Steve Coleman was. This made me pull out Hami The Funky Descendant to play next

I'm glad to hear that. That was the album that prompted the thread about lesser-known leaders with well-known sidemen. I posted some thoughts about it there. Let me know what you think.
My two latest purchases are:
This will almost certainly be one for the recommendation thread mentioned above, with a band of Mulgrew Miller, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash. The cheapest copy was an autographed one.
The lesser known leader thread is what prompted me to search for it and I enjoyed the Tomlinson disc. I've spun it twice and find his compositions and arrangements thoughtful and easy if that makes sense. For studying with Barry Harris, I didn't pick up on a heavy influence on his sound. Not sure how long the studying took place though.
The Charles Owens is a Joy. I picked it up in Atlanta at a record shop while killing some time. I had read a review, probably on AAJ and when I saw it in the wild picked it up. You will enjoy it indeed. And It does fit in with the Lesser known leader thread.

Peter Tomlinson - Momentum, with Dick Oatts, Anthony Cox and Jimmy Cobb: Amazon must've been clearing off some shelves, because I paid $2.69 after tax. I have never heard Tomlinson, but that band at that price was a no-brainer.
Thanks for the recommendation though it cost me much more than you paid at the princely sum of $3.59.

There is a pain behind the constant diminishing of the life of African Americans and minorities in general in America that cannot be denied. How many black men and women have to be unjustly murdered ON CAMERA for everyone to see before a change happens.

When most of us were kids, each sport had a calendar season. Now IMO all the pros start too early, end too late (except the Grey Cup), and play too many games in between (as Bill Veeck said about baseball).
I have enjoyed this respite without sports.
I have as well with the exception of boxing which returns (in a less than exciting match-up that I will absolutely be watching) next week.

I recently got the OTC Complete Session and that led me to listening to The Man With The Horn and You're Under Arrest, both of which I had on cassette and enjoyed them for what they are. But it got me wondering what I was missing post Columbia since the only album I had heard was Tutu, Doo-Bop (haven't heard it in 20 years, am curious how I will feel now once I get to it) and the Quincy collab. I was able to purchase this set at a very reasonable price and have been working through it this weekend. I have been pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy this era of Miles, though the Marcus Miller imprint is very evident it works extremely well.

I watched it yesterday. I don’t carry the anger that Dan does. That’s not healthy. Theoretically Adam knows his stuff. It was a pretty bad solo and I don’t know why the alt take was released but you can see what the soloist was trying to do, even if it was poorly executed. As someone who struggled with music theory and am not nearly as well versed in it as Adam, I do find appreciation for his videos. That goes for Rick Beato as well, but I don’t consume everything they do either.

You’re right. It’s been licked.

Oh we have different definitions of “Licked” then. I was thinking “Licked” as in fully eliminated.

Let's start with one specific thing... there are countries out there that have licked this thing, where infections are at a very low level and monitoring is really good/vigilant. A lot of the economy can reopen. A lot of the economy can reopen safely in that situation.
Unfortunately in the US we decided not to do that. So instead we're ending up with the worst of both worlds, a lot of deaths and an economy whose reopening capacity is more limited.
Estimates of herd immunity range from 25% to 70% of the US population. We're still far short of that. Even if we magically optimize for the least risky and intentionally infect them, we'd still end up with a lot of additional deaths.
Which countries have licked this thing?

Just spun Shedrick Mitchell - Introducing Shedrick Mitchell and it falls in this category. Sherman Irby, Stephon Harris, Reggie Washington, Mark Shim, Ali Jackson and Eric Harland. Even with the revolving cast it sounds very uniform and complete as an album. Wonderful disc.

What a great thread idea. The first person I thought of was Dmitry Baevsky. I know his first couple of albums featured Jeremy pelt, Jimmy Cobb, David Wong and I think Tootie Heath. Edit: it was Cedar Walton, not Tootie
I pounced on the copy of Baba that was on Discogs. Thanks for the heads up.
What vinyl are you spinning right now??
in The Vinyl Frontier

Totally agree. It had been on my wishlist for a while and when a copy in the US popped up a couple weeks ago I jumped on it. Picked up Tatsuya Nakamura's Rip-Off too just because of combined shipping but haven spun it yet.
