    I'm in, eventually.  I own these already, but like the mastering and packaging on these sets.

    Me too. I may preorder through importcds this weekend. Amazon only shows LPs, DG is taking preorders at higher price.

    [Added] I didn't make it clear above that the box is 6 studio albums.

  5. Amina Claudine Myers - Song for Mother E

    in Re-issues

    Not that long ago, Leo Records was advertising some kind of liquidation / going out of business sale. There's a thread on the forum somewhere. So I'm puzzled.

    It shows on discogs as a 2023 release, but no offerings. I'd expect offerings pretty soon.

    Squidco is sometimes a good source, but I drew a complete blank there and their search engine doesn't even recognize Amina Claudine Myers as a possible leader. 

     

  6. BFT 234, The Reveal

    Thanks, I really enjoyed the music (with some qualms about #2) but didn't have anything to add to the main thread.

    Following the "forum visitor" hint, my guess for #5 was Frank Kimbrough, but I couldn't come up with an album/track.

    Have to explore the Solal! Also a fan of Deuchar.

    Jarrett was obvious but I didn't have a track.

    I have the Yamamoto/Yamashita/Togashi "Breath" and it's very good. But I slightly prefer "Ginkai" or "Silver World" (both titles sometimes used) for a quartet recording with Kikuchi/Peacock/Murakami. Youtube here

    I really should have gotten the Yamamoto/Berger and (especially) Schneiderman. Excuse is that I've never heard those particular recordings. Weirdly, I ran down a mental list of NY-based boppish pianists who might have appeared on #13, but inexplicably spaced Schneiderman and consequently drew a blank. 🙄

  13. So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

    This is definitely supplemental to that box rather than a replacement for ti, especially given the annoyances of the BBC announcers (thankfully given their own tracking, so you can program around them), but there's some great stuff on this one also, and it's different enough from the Torrid Zone box. 

    Thanks, good to know. I'll leave it on the want list and hope for a compelling offering.

    I enjoy the Barbara Thompson BBC box and don't have any problem with those BBC announcers...they must get more air time on the Nucleus set.

  16. Dark Side of the Moon Redux

    Thanks for the info, hadn't heard of it.

    Artistically it seems like a no-win proposition, but there's undoubtedly good money to be made.

    That was never my favorite Pink Floyd album and I've heard it too many times over the years, so no interest in acquiring. But I'll listen to a couple of the tunes if available for free.

  18. Defiant Jazz

    Good stuff.

    Damn, I have that album and often listen to it! 

    Rare occurrence...our musical preferences don't overlap all that much. 😉

    I'm not sure of the definition of "defiant jazz". Does this work?
