Tin Tin Deo Forrest gives Coleman Hawkins a run for darkest sound.

"These performances are released by permission of the Estate of Albert Ayler, represented by Desiree Ayler-Fellows." 👍

4 CDs. 👍 Craft link here. 😃

Coming out next month. You can also order it from Craft bundled with a Prestige t-shirt:

Before I knew that, I always thought it was strange that Waits' name popped up when I was searching for Edwards albums. Then I had my D'OH! moment. I repeatedly forget that Sunset Eyes and Teddy's Ready were recorded on consecutive days, August 16th (Pacific Jazz) and August 17th (Contemporary), 1960. Probably my two favorite Edwards albums.

Reminds me of Dimitri from Paris...except perhaps better.

Brasilian Skies 👏

Found this photo online of Jaspar and Dearie:

Yes. Same. Will Craft ever put out a Sonny Simmons box set? Of course!

Discogs says that Andy Warhol did the cover art. Didn't know that. The copy I'm listening to actually has this (more familiar) cover:

👍👌 👌👍

This thread has some good reading. Now I'm on the lookout for this one: Also missed the OJC when it was around.

Mamacita Lisa! (Check out Jimmy Owens' solo. And Edwards'.)

There's a Fresh Sounds release of this one, but I don't think it was an OJC (unless it appeared in a 2-fer). Or this one...

Listening to Seasons now—really good. I don't know Mel Ellison; a fine player.

That Copenhagen concert is quite good—but it would benefit from some digital cleaning up. Having now listened to the full Helsinki concert on Bandcamp, I have to say that it's even more exciting. I'm a little surprised that this "lost recordings" disc doesn't include the Copenhagen concert. It's nice when "ezz-thetics" can release material that isn't on the Revenant box—and apparently in cooperation of Desiree Ayler. I wonder if she's sitting on other tapes, or is just approving material for release.

Along the same lines, there were three Grant Green comps, released in 2005 by Blue Note, under the banner The Original Jam Master that are really good, and good for a party atmosphere. Volume 2:

Will have to check that one out. Thanks for the heads-up.

In Person was reissued in 1997 as part of the OJC series. (Information here.) It's a good album!

More information here.

Whitecage is good on this one. I got it from eMusic years ago. I always thought there was a CD release, but I guess not. Vinyl only when I looked around online.

This thread has some good reading. Just noticed this one today: Sound samples here. Looks like one to put on the list. 5 CDs.

Aside from the Fontana Blood, are there any other pre-1970 recordings deserving of reissue? I'm sure there are live tapes out there...

True. Buying compact discs in bulk! Right next to the rice, quinoa, and granola. 🙃
