    Sonny Rollins - The Solo Album

    jcam, let me know how you go with that one if you get a chance. Have come close to picking it up a couple of times but it gets mixed reviews. A solo Sonny disc is mighty tempting.

    I have listened to it twice and find it to be excellent. I think if you play you will find it awe-inspiring. I know critics gave the impression that this was nothing more than a practice session, but i would give a leg to have a practice session flow so easily. I find it interesting because it shows his ability to associate ideas, and in such a different and more melodic manner than most solo woodwind albums. My favorite solo woodwind of all-time is Vinny Golia - Clarinet but for far different reasons than this one.

    Cheers man. I'm not going to rush out and get it at this stage but i'll keep it in mind next time i do an order. I still really want to explore the Milestone years in more depth. I know there's the Silver City double disc but, you know, i want the full albums for better or worse. Really wish they'd put out a budget-ish box set along the lines of the recent Universal Italy ones.

    I agree it would be nice to have a box set of this era, though what I've heard is a mixed bag. I got this disc for a song. It cost more than 12x's the disc for shipping.

    Will let you know my impressions when it arrives. I didn't realize the album was so poorly regarded. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing it.

    I understand that Youtube has the ability to provide a preview, but to me that kills the joy of discovery.

  4. Given Ornette's past pension to demand proper compensation for his work, I lean towards Ornette not authorizing this as a release.

    There is obviously some form of deceptive marketing by the label if you can purchase the 192/24 Studio Masters, but these were indeed impromptu/teaching sessions and not actual studio sessions. And there are handheld recorders that record in 192/24 and sound really good, which I have a feeling these probably are.

    Steve Coleman and Five Elements - On The Rising Of The 64 Paths

    filling out my Steve Coleman collection with a couple french imports that I finally found at decent prices. Just waiting for them to arrive now.

    two treats in store there. 'Weaving Symbolics' has a variety of line-up sizes not seen elsewhere in his discography

    I'm most excited about that one. It's been on my wishlist for 3 years and finally pulled the trigger. I think there are only 3-4 titles of his as leader I need now.

    and I'm still waiting on Synovial Joints here....patience is running thin :smirk:

    Haha, just ordered this (the download from m-base isn't enough to feed my collector needs). Down to 3 titles now i think...
