I certainly didn't expect much from this one, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I've give 4 spins between work and the commute yesterday and a final listen when I got home last night. Haven't cracked the second disc yet but much more than a "one and done" for myself. The Sonny Rollins quote seems a bit excessive though haha. I wonder what Andrew White's analysis of this is. Is he considered the foremost authority on Trane's music?

Thanks for the heads up on this. This is the best analysis I’ve heard about why the material wasn’t released. I was hoping he would discuss 11383. though fantastic, it doesn’t sound like the band is familiar with the song and I doubt it would ever have been released on an album.

Absolutely

I've spun Slick! 3 times and enjoyed it. I heard some slop but didn't think much of it since its a live set. I did wonder who had the damn whistle. (it didn't hurt the listen, but it was curious.) Funk In France was good but I've only spun once while after the libations were flowing.

Thanks for the leads everyone, but I'm only searching them on behalf of Stonewall. Since I'm in Los Angeles I thought the opportunity of finding them used local would be greater.

I continue to look while I’m out but no success yet.

I ordered from them a few years ago without issue. This was before their site was down for an extended period.

I’ll take the Pharoah. Too little Sanders in my collection

Sold

Sure. Let me know what you got.

I have a pristine extra copy of Sad Life for sale. $25 shipped in the US. This is a very rare album, not the crappy "On Demand" version.

I you happen to have any idea what the covers look like it would help. I search the "Various Artists" section every time I go to Amoeba but have no clue what I'm looking for.

Did you happen to order the cd? If so did you receive it? I haven't gotten my cd nor a response to my inquiry. I'm not impatient but it has been a month. Something should have happened by now I would think.

I love Kermit's Have a Crazy Cool Christmas

This is my experience as well. I will say they usually restock regularly so watch out. Asian Improv is an essential label. I just purchased Francis Wong - Miyoshi Sketches which is excellent

Ordered. Thanks!

Sir Lucian Grainge here, make sure Don gets whatever he needs.....

My copy arrived today. Packaging is exceptional! Sound quality is as well. So happy to have a sanctioned release of this

Fishing for dollars...

Koan, though i think the cd is out of print is excellent. Stranded island short list album for me.

Thanks. I read the article but when I tried to find in on amazon I couldn’t. Now I know why

Album Catalog No. Black Note - 43rd & Degnan WSR 1011 Charles McPherson - Illusions In Blue * WSR 1012 Robert Stewart - Judgement WSR 1013 WSR 1014 The Philippe Vieux Qt. - Point of Vieux WSR 1015 Faye Carol - The Flow WSR 1016 * Based on the Robert Stewart insert, it lists Illusions In Blue as catalog No. 1012. The Chazz Jazz (McPherson's label) release has a 1990 copyright date, which would pre-date it to the World Stage Records labels first release in 1991. There are a couple interesting articles about this album archived with LA Times, where it seems Charles had a dispute with the venue that some songs were recorded at. All the article list dates that indicate the Chazz Jazz release was after 1990 since it doesn't seem it had quite been released in 1991, but was available in 1993: April 2nd, 1991 article, April 23rd,1991 article, June 2nd, 1993 article. I honestly have no idea what to make of all this but its interesting.

Not my cup but their documentary is amazing.
