Is this one recommended? I had it in my hand last week, intriguing in some respect but not all (i.e. Hinze is not a plus where I have heard him so far) Yes, very nice album and thanks for that interview which is an asset... Last weekend i got the Soulbrass Inc record as my birthday present for myself, completely different but equally fascinating... De Kroeg is next up and then I have Noord covered on LP (plus the CD with Dulfer and Joop Scholten which is great as well)

A case for the jazz detective...

True, you have your own flea market situation in your country... I'd really been looking for this one at a decent price for a while so I was quite happy to bump into it today... One track can be streamed here though: https://www.advancedwarning.nl/music.html

It really is a surprisingly good,. surprisingly free album

Is there any additional Junior Cook in the bonus material?

Herbert Noord - Five Times Six it wasn't that cheap at 15 Euro but not expensive either and: I did manage to buy a nice record from my want list at that dreaded country-wide street market on the occasion of the king's 56th birthday... but I sure didn't try hard, just was lucky enough to walk by a box of jazz albums on a street corner... a classic of experimental organ jazz from Europe (not that there are many albums in that genre)

I can also mostly talk about recent years, having seriously gotten into used vinyl since 2016 or so... I usually skip bins that are not ordered by genre unless I really have time to kill - any somewhat well-curated shop will have the vast majority of stuff I find interesting sorted at least by genre... when there is a bin with Jazz records for 5 Euro that is very often where I find the best stuff, a lot of what I like is not expensive... some of the shops here also have bins with 1, 2, 2.50 or even 3 Euro Jazz records, those are also great.

This is Jazz No. 1 a recent 3 Euro bin find, bought mostly for the cover, I am already near the end where Pete Rugolo, Turk Murphy and Dave Brubeck illustrate the present state of Jazz as seen (by some) in 1954

With Art Hodes and Don Ewell, I was surprised to learn that soon after you start collecting their records a bit you have to be careful it doesn't get out of hand... Red Rodney and Ira Sullivan are two that are surprisingly easy to collect on vinyl, compared to cd, so i did end up with slightly more than I need as well ...

Have a soft spot for this one as well...

Faith is on YouTube, imho it's not quite as good as i would have hoped... Dissent or Descent is on Spotify and the usual streaming sites, probably also YouTube...

Thanks for the link, there's indeed some really cool stuff there, like five tracks from Wayne Shorter's first recording session with Johnny Eaton here (and in the posts linked there)

This all reads as if they want to transform a magazine read by white grandpas into a magazine that black grandpas read to their grandchildren... With that in mind something like that Wayne Shorter obit makes a lot more sense - those grandchildren will likely not say stuff like "What about his time with Miles and those Blue Note albums?" or "Is it really fair to say Weather Report was Shorter's band?" because they're way too little to worry about stuff like that... Still: poor children + i also wonder whether all this is commercially viable but luckily that's not my problem and i don't know this market segment of black grandpas and possibly grandmas too well either

"Konrad Lorenz" and "geese" isn't a random combination of words either...

Not that I remember much but I was at that concert actually... I remember Austin thanking the band for making "the greatest sacrifice" of temporarily not smoking on the bus

two favorites, if you want, they're both takes on Coltrane albums, the Japanese Soultrane and the German Olé

It's not so clear actually what he says exactly regarding the timing of events, in particular whether his playing with Montoliu is (partly) before the early 70s: I would translate this "Wie ich vorhin sagte, man hatte eine Hausrhythmusgruppe, Anfang der siebziger Jahre machte man das nicht mehr. Aber ich habe dann auch noch einmal mit Tete Montoliu gespielt, blinder Pianist, der zunächst in der „Galerie“ spielte. Mit dem bin ich dann nach München gegangen, um dort auch Haustruppe zu spielen, ..." as follows: "Like I said before, there used to be house rhythm sections, but in the early seventies that wasn't done anymore. But I did play once again with Tete Montoliu, blind pianist, who had initially (?) played in the Jazzgalerie. With him, I then went to Munich, to form a house rhythm section ..." (the second time, he says Haustruppe, "house troup", which I guess is a joke from back then...)

I just googled a bit, starting with how I would spell it, Jazzgalerie... It's mentioned a few times here http://www.andrecondouant.de/inhalt/leow/leo0.html Apparently, the address was Bundesallee 194b in Berlin-Wilmersdorf.... And it was the location of Eric Dolphy's last gig...

It seems the keyword here is "Alpha", all those musicians like Reece, Harriott, Gainair, McCook... went to the same school... And most of those who went to the UK went at a very young age, so presumably not that much did happen between Alpha and Emigration https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Boys_School

Indeed, that Bud Freeman Trio material is great, i have it in this incarnation, also Wild Bill Davison with Strings (other cover variations may be more common, but this is the one I have and like a lot)

Good call on the Selects, my post above was only about the big boxes, not Mosaic Singles or Selects... I have only two big boxes and haven't played them much (the Gerald Wilson bought from j.a.w. ages ago and the Hall Johnson Blue Note bought cheaply a few weeks ago), a few of the Selects are prized possessions (Andrew Hill, Randy Weston, Curtis Amy, Carmell Jones, Charles Tolliver). Those product lines were more targeted at people like me... Pretty sure I saw the Pepper Mosaic at Concerto earlier today, but didn't pay close attention...

Muggsy Spanier - This is jazz broadcasts From my recent stack of 2€ 10in lp finds... Prime revival Dixieland...

Funny, the Ferguson, Green and Lyttleton I also found in the past few weeks... And i paid 2+2+5 iirc.... That Ferguson album is great

Indeed... I bought one before I was forty, one a little afterwards, both used for little money... I did buy about 3000 jazz records in my first 40 years... So you might consider me proof that somewhat younger collectors don't appreciate Mosaics the way earlier generations did...
