The Rupa Biswas record is a lot of fun. But it's not half-off at DG. The Fern Jones is good too, albeit in very small doses. The Cult Cargo series is worth checking out as well! $8 is a pretty good deal on those. YouTube has a lot of full albums from Numero, for those who don't Spot-i-fy.

I just did a search, and couldn't find the article I'd read (about five years ago, maybe more?). It was an article where (younger) saxophonists listed their favorite unaccompanied saxophone solos. Roberts listed "Cherokee" from Lone-Lee, and added some words about the solo's importance to her. Maybe someone here remembers that article? I might be mis-remembering some details, but that was gist of it. I do remember that it got me to get out that vinyl and spin it.

Love Quinichette on this one, even if his saxophone keys needed some fine-tuning. It looks like both Wess and Coltrane have Otto Links and Selmers. Quinichette, on the other hand, appears to have a Buscher and King? (Welcoming corrections.)

Listened to this tonight, the only Konitz I own on vinyl. I don't have the CD version, and just discovered that "The Song is You" is twice as long on the CD! Apparently this record is a favorite of Matana Roberts.

A heads-up on recordings from the Numero label: Dusty Groove has discounted their inventory of this label. Lots of new discs at half-off. Numero is normally quite expensive, so this is good news. Wide-ranging music: soul, hillbilly, Brit pop, indie rock, techno ... just about any genre you can think of, as long as it's fairly obscure.

Alice Coltrane: Reflection On Creation And Space (A Five Year View) This double album is an 82-minute compilation of previously issued Alice Coltrane recordings from her Impulse! sessions. What makes it interesting is that most of the tracks are edited versions which seamlessly transition into each other, making it a sort of Alice Coltrane DJ experience. I didn't think I'd like hearing "incomplete" tunes, but that wasn't the case at all. Ed Michel (with Bob Thiele?) did an excellent job putting this together in 1973. All four vinyl sides could actually fit on one compact disc. I'd buy it! I'm a little surprised that a boutique label hasn't tried to put this compilation out. I think it could attract new listeners.

Bam.

Nope. Lost opportunity. Five tracks only, as opposed to the nine that made up the 1993 U.S. issue.

The Tapscott Sessions, Vol. 10 Been finding a lot of solace in this recording lately. Healing.

20 more titles added to the 60th Anniversary series. I hope this one: comes with all the bonus tracks.

I can't speak for the Gordon (yet), but the 2-disc Griffin set on Muzak/Black Lion is very fine. Great sound.

I bet the vinyl sounds good. I have vinyl rips but no hardcopies. It's about the fourth time these titles have had a compact disc reissue in Japan. But it's the first time I won't miss their limited sales window!

Wow! Thanks for making the initial effort to contact them.

Thanks for that information!

That makes sense to me. Perhaps stating "when Joe takes it to the edge" might work a little better. I like Joe on the edge. (Don't want to derail the question, but this record probably has my favorite Haynes playing on it. But I need to re-listen to his Impulse! album again to be sure.)

Charles Lloyd got a card?

Here's video from the Mt. Fuji recording. Kenny Garrett gets to take a longer solo than the other horn players. What's up with that?

Available again in this Japanese configuration. But can two discs really cover the "complete" 1967 Montmartre recordings?

Question to the board: • What record, to your ears, contains Henderson's most out playing? Interpret "out" however you like. The general idea is "outside" of standard changes or even standard pitches.

MUZAK (Looking forward to picking up the Ben Webster.)

Deep Jazz Reality is now reissuing titles from the Trio label, under the banner "Jazz Legends in Japan." These two Cecil Taylor titles are coming back into circulation: Solo • 1980¥ • available May 20, 2020 Akisakila • 1980¥ • available May 20, 2020 I've had the music as digital files for ages, but have never owned any sort of hard copy. This can now change! CD Japan has been slow to list Deep Jazz Reality titles, but they do eventually show up on their site.

Agreed. I purchased the compact discs when they first came out and was always a little bugged by Henderson's sound, though his solos were spotless. Back in 2013/14, the Japanese market reissued "Super High Material" versions of these same discs; the improvement in sound is (to me) only minor. I've always had a soft spot for Henderson's cover of "Boo Boo's Birthday."

Good to know! Would be nice to be able to hear the whole show some day.

Here's a handy discography for Adderley.

Bam.
