Hutch fan. His Blue Note output, esp his 60's rec's, ranks as one of the most impressive bodies of work in modern jazz.

Any jazz in the collection? (Forgive me if that link has a breakdown of the collection; I'm too lazy to look )

Looking forward to obtaining the Burrell again as I sold my copy years ago because I found it largely boring back then....even with Richard Davis on bass! But I'm ready to give it a second try.

Have you heard "Suspended Night"? That's a fantastic album. You should at least give him another try. You might be pleasantly surprised. I haven't but that's the thing...ok, I'll at least try some clips at CDnow. :rsmile:

I had "Soul of Things" awhile back and was left largely unimpressed. He reminded me of a mellower Miles and I ended up selling the disk. Maybe I'm being too rash with my assesment but I have no desire to rush out and buy anything else. Just my opinion.

I'm also going to go back to the original post topic and say that I'm far from being tired of listening to jazz. For example, if I listen to rock on the radio or a cd from my wife's collection (which is 99% classic to modern rock), I find myself listening to jazz in the back of my mind and by song's end, I couldn't even tell you what the rock group/singer was singing. I do though, try to broaden my horizons and have grown fond of 311, the Strokes, the Replacements, Wire and Weezer. I also enjoy classical music as well, but all and all, I find myself gravitating back towards jazz. Its hard to explain but when I'm thumbing through my collection I get a sense of excitement just thinking what's on the cd. I don't get that feeling from other genres of music. As someone (Paul Secor?) mentioned above, (and I am paraphrasing, probably really badly) that there are times when you just find yourself emersed in an artist's catalogue. Right now, I'm enjoying quite a lot of Sun Ra, Henry Threadgill, AEC and Anthony Braxton. I do though, find myself returning less and less to Miles but there's just so much going on in the avant garde (if that term is still being used) jazz scene right now that it really doesn't concern me. For instance on Youtube, I discovered Weasel Walter who caught my attention right away with his sextet (2 basses, 2 drummers a guitarist and alto sax). The intensity was incredible in the clip. In sum, even to this day its a big disovery and I feel I'm nowhere done discovering.

Good one, with Tony Scott! Yes, I'm enjoying this one quite a bit! Is that Tony Scott? Maybe playing under a different name? The name on the back says A.J. Sciacca. Tony Scott, born Anthony Sciacca. Thanks for clearing that up! I had no idea. Upon first listen, I was saying man this cat has a way with the clarinet...now I know why!

RIP Teo. What a great poducer. I don't think Miles' In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew could be heard any other way.

Thanks for the info. I'd be willing to repurchase it if the tape speed is corrected.

Found this used today:

I have volume 4 which is a 2 cd set. As the previous posts above have already indicated, the sound is pretty decent for a rehearsal tape (in this instance, IIRC, the box was mis-labled as a concert given in Mexico City in '74-I'm going by memory as I don't have the cd in front of me). For the most part, the music is quite good except for the occasional break down/tuning/chit-chatting. What stood out for me, though was the guitarist, whom I don't recall if his name was given as some of the band members were listed as unknown/uncertain-but he was very good.

Top Three: At the Shrine-Verve West Coast Jazz-Verve At Storyville Vols. I & II-Roulette

And it looks like they restored the original cover too!

I thought they reissued that Ornette album, To Whom Who Keeps A Record, within the past several months. My copy has a 2006 date on the back, so its been almost two years. Interestingly enough the cd was manufactured by Rhino (and leased from Atlantic of course!)

Honest Jon's got it too: http://new.honestjons.com/shop.php?pid=31551 Thanks Sidewinder and Jostber. I was getting concerned that it was OOP already. After last week's haul of Sun Ra cd's, I'm trying to space (or spread) out my purchases. As someone said above, Sun Ra reissues have been through the roof this last year or so!

I definitely want to check out the Eddie Gales disks, especially the date with Jimmy Lyons!

Thanks. I will definitely pick it up. Picked this up last week and I agree with you; I'm glad I have it now although I would not consider it essential. Definitely interesting and at times and Voigt seems to hold his own for the most part.

Thanks. I thought that was bonkers

"Reuben Wilson Sextet Richard Williams (tp) Trevor Lawrence (ts) Reuben Wilson (org) Jimmy Ponder (g) George Baker (b) Tommy Derrick (d) Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, February 28, 1969 3737 Hot Rod Blue Note rejected 3738 Stormy - 3739 Cruisin' - 3740 I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" Richard Williams AND Jimmy Ponder? ...what could have possibly gone wrong here to render it rejected?

Does anyone know if Disco 3000 is OOP already? I was at CDnow and some seller has it listed at $998...$998??? That's gotta be a mistake or this cd is now rarer than a fist full of original El Saturns.

And here's Water's page vis a vis Runt: http://www.runtdistribution.com/water.html

Soulstream, It seems that Water is distributed by Runt. Here's an email: info@runtdistribution.com Hope that helps, HG

Thought they did a nice job on the Ayler.

Can confirm the Ornette, Dancing in Your Head, was a digipack as I have a copy. Lousy because there's no notes included (as best as I can tell) but at least you get the whole cover unlike the Verve reissue which gives you a tinier version of the original cover on the front of the booklet.
