It does not look that way. I went ahead and ordered. I have been listening all day while I work.

I just ordered Asha, Washington Suite and Treasures.

I never heard of Lloyd McNeill before today. Streaming Treasures right now on Napster. The first track alone is enough to convince me I need to pick up some of his music.

I don't think it is scheduled to be published until January 2022?

I pre-ordered and had access to some of the tracks before the full digital album because available today. Listening to the tracks performing Andrew Hill compositions right now. Fascinating. I have always been a fan of Braxton's "jazzier" work, including his interpretations of the standard repertoire. It is a lot of music to digest, but I am glad I ordered the box set.

Received mine yesterday.

I did not pre-order, but I did get a shipping notice yesterday that my copies of the Redman and Curson discs have shipped.

In May of 2020 I contacted Ab Baars directly to ask about the box set. He informed me that it was sold out and he did not have any copies. Gawky Stride is only available digitally.

Does anyone know the title of the 1997 tribute recording referenced in the article?

Shades of Black has not been recorded to my knowledge. I have heard them live 4- 5 times, including the Stone performance Steve mentioned. I believe the yet to be released recording on Giant Step Arts is a trio.

He has been fairly active over the years. I have grown into a big fan over the years and have had the pleasure of hearing him live at least five times, including once when I brought him to Hartford for a show. Love his group Shades of Black with Sam Newsome, Cooper-Moore on organ and Chad Taylor on drums. It is kind of a Sun Ra meets Larry Young organ quartet. I had a conversation one of the last times I saw him about the lack of recent recordings. I got the sense that he just had not been ready to record anything yet and he was working some musical things out. Anyway, I believe he has a recording on Giant Step Arts that will be coming out hopefully some time this year.

Must have it. It is from a 1985 concert in Los Angeles.

This one hit me more than most. Probably because he was someone I got to know a little bit. I was involved with presenting him in concert a couple of times and we were members of the same fraternity. I have also been a fan of his music since his Fo'tet recordings, Out of the Blue and his time with David Murray. Whenever I caught him in concert he always greeting me enthusiastically and I never felt like it was only because he wanted another gig. I think that is just how he was about everything he did. He will be missed.

This is a good one recorded in 1994.

I have not read the entire book yet, but I have enjoyed the chapters I have read. All though they are chronological, the chapters themselves are not connected to each other so it is easy to select chapters to read. If you are familiar with Shoemaker's online magazine, Point Of Departure, much of the writing is similar to essays he has written there.

Disc One: Fast Last! (with Julius Hemphill)

Just finished my first listen through the entire box. Great investment in some fabulous music. While going through the discs I also listened to Dogon A.D. and now I am moving onto the the CAM box to relisten to the Black Saint Recordings. Decided tonight I will read the chapter on Hemphill in Bill Shoemaker's Jazz in the 1970s. Going for a complete Hemphill immersion experience.

FYI, if you contact New World when you order they can probably send you a link to download the entire set at once.

Ordered yesterday. Looking forward to spending time immersing myself in the experience.

I wonder what "night" that was taken from. I believe I saw the exact same group at the Montreal Jazz Festival a couple of years ago.

New World also has a Bandcamp page. I am waiting a couple of days to see if it will be available there so that I can have access to streaming and download, along with my purchase of the physical CDs. If it is not available there in a couple of days, I will order directly from New World.

Just received yesterday. Looking forward to listening.
