Without a doubt. Plus I love what Joel Dorn called the recording.

Have you heard this one, a 1981 performance at the Keystone with Richie Cole, John Handy, Cedar Walton, Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins. It’s darn good.

I read his All for Nothing a few years ago. They both touch on the subject of East Prussia, now part of Poland.

The Bishop set is available for pre-ordering as a cd.

Gearbox does do cd releases so maybe it will show up in cd eventually.

The latter it seems. There are a few people who listen to the music and are knowledgeable but they seem to be in the minority.

I find that very few of them talk about the music or if they do their comments aren’t very deep not to mention that it seems that most of them only listen to BN and nothing else.

A pairing of Ashby and Godard, from Vivra Sa Vie or My Life to Live. The song is Why Did You Leave Me from The Fantastic Jazz Harp of Dorothy Ashby.

And Eddie Buster too! Those guys were great on this.

Yes, this one. As far as I know it was reissued only that once. I used to have the record but can’t find it.

That would be a downer if he’s using it here.

The box seems like a strange mish mash of labels, some Concord (Prestige and Jazzland), Rhino (Atlantic) and UMG (Argo). I can only think they didn’t include more Argo/Cadet because some of those records are coming out from other companies, not to mention it would increase the cost. For example Verve and Third Man Records are re-issuing the Rubaiyat and Afro Harping is going to be included in a Cadet box set from VMP.

I have it. Picked it up after I purchased The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby on vinyl from VMP. One of my favorite records.

That works out at $41 per disc. Tone Poets are $38 so it’s not outlandish. RSD releases are more expensive; the Evans is going to be $65.

Looks interesting. Haven’t heard of this label before but that Kevin Gray is involved is a plus.

Ammons/Stiit or just Sonny too. If just Sonny have you listened to the DJ Lounge?

I finally finished watching it. Yes, it was very good. I’m not sure the 7th season was necessary but perhaps the French public wanted the story brought forth to see what happens to the characters. Many great actors but Thierry Goddard, who is also in Spiral, stands out.

I did a comparison of the songs listed on the RSD site vs the Original version and they were the same. For some reason RSD listed the songs for the first two LPs but not the other three. However, a French member at Hoffman found all the songs on a French site, VARIOUS ARTISTS – NUGGETS – 50TH ANNIVERSARY BOX The above, by the way, is the same blurb that appears on the RSD site.

I don’t have the original Nuggets but the RSD looks like a straight reissue of the original.

I have both volumes but it’s been a long time since I listened to them. Another good, also on Roulette, is Jaws and Stitt at Birdland.

Reservoir’s release indicated they acquired his “publishing and recorded rights.” Without more information it’s hard to know what exactly they acquired and under what conditions and limitations. Obviously, they have no rights to his catalogue now owned by Concord/Craft, other than any royalties C/C may be obligated to pay him.
