BBQ'ing has officially started in NE Ohio. I've been BBQ'ing every night since Friday and I grilled steaks tonight in fact.

Guilty as charged for buying KOB, Soul Station and Tenor Madness at least twice apiece.

Thanks for posting these. Pretty cool stuff.

Yup, and if these companies would've stopped reissuing Kind of Blue, Soul Station, and Tenor Madness again and again again to mostly the same small crowd that bought this music already, and if these companies would've reissued more interesting titles to said small crowds that now essentially languash in those companies' vaults, then maybe thier reiussue programs would've lasted a little longer. Aaah, who am I fooling. What a shame nonetheless.

Never cared for Rough n Tumble and sold it shortly after getting it. The Spoiler is slightly better for me but I hardly play it. I guess I'm not a big fan of Duke Pearson's arrangemets because everytime I hear them, they always sound over-produced to me; just too safe-sounding with little excitement except for a good solo hear and there. I much prefer Stanley's work either with his brother or with Horace Parlan. JMO.

Oh yeah, of course, who could forget Doug and Favors! Great great players!

Yeah, I love Charlie with Ornette (esp Science the Montreal Tapes on Verve, but otherwise I don't really care about Quartet West and his solo efforts as of late. Too many bassists that rank higher overall, but Charlie is near there: Jimmy Garrison Charlie Mingus William Parker Peter Kowald Paul Chambers Juni Booth Henry Grimes Cecil McBee Larry Ridley Richard Davis (especially with Andrew Hill) Gary Peacock (with Ayler and Ellis) Leroy Vinager David Izenzon Ronnie Boykins Scott LaFaro ...just off the top of my head

Interesting! If everything went up in smoke, at least I have a list of all my CDs (about half of yours), which would help prove their former existence. Fortunately, I've no experience of loss or claims of this sort. As for burglary, who'd want the stuff? Have to be a pretty cool burglar! I once left a bag of about a dozen jazz LPs (Blue Note, Riverside, etc) on a train which traveled a hundred miles to its terminus, where someone handed it in intact. As they say, you couldn't give it away! My thoughts too! I'd be mortified to lose my collection. But I never think of it in monetary value. It's never been a financial investment (just as well as I tend to dump unnecessary packaging and rely mainly on dl these days). Funny story Bill. I'd be mortified if I lost my collection too, but if something happened to it (I do have pictures of my collection) I'd wonder what an appraiser for the insurance company would value it at? I mean, are they really going to give me $150 for the Complete Freddie Hubbard/Woody Shaw set I own, just because that's what someone is asking for it on Amazon? Would they just give me the list price back? Or would they give me what I paid for it ($6 used)? I guess these would be the questions I'd be asking the insurance company.

Nice little used cd haul: Stanley Turrentine-Comin' Your Way-BN McMaster (grabbed it for $8 since there doesn't seem to a domestic RVG on the horizon) Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note 1st Set-ECM (for $2.50!)

Oh yeah, big thumbs up for these. Got to go with the Gerry's "original quartet" too in the WCC series, which is thankfully still in print. And lastly, anything he did with Art Pepper too should be scooped up, ie, Playboys (aka Pictures of Heath) Route etc.

Nice story!

Ok, cd came in the mail and I immediately popped it in the player. First, Larry Young's organ does not really sound like a hammond b3, did he play a different instrument in the 70's? Secondly, I can see why this music was not released in '72; in fact the sound of this record is so strange-sounding that it kind of reminds me of a Sun Ra record (though not necessarily music-wise, but in scope). Final line, this music is pretty intense, and it's striking that what Nicholas, Gallivon and Young were doing here was way ahead of their times. This album requires many more listens to really grasp what's happening here.

Nice reference Brownie! I became a Karl Berger fan because of "Symphony for Improvisers"!

Own two albums by Jan (Afric Pepperbird and Witchi-Tai-To) and I play Afric quite a lot. Great, great stuff, and as someone sort of eluded too already, this was when ECM was doing a lot of exciting stuff.

Woah, I'd like to see this film!

Happy Birthday Ubu! Have a good one

Well, I was at my local Exchange store and saw the Brubeck and took a look at it. First, these are not digipacks, but jewel cased cds. Secondly, they are in the "OJC" tradition, but without the "OJC" logo on the front cd cover. They have a clear jewel insert, but I couldn't see what it said under the cd, since it was a sealed copy. Overall, its an attractive package.

No Mal leader dates in any of the reissue programs at Fantasy/Concord, e.g., K2's, RVG's. Bobby Timmons too, seems to have been snubbed for remasterings.

Oh, thanks. Never bought a Mosaic set, so I didn't know how they divided up the sessions. Well now, that means I'd have to buy two sets now? Crap.

Definintely bad news to think a single issue of this set will never appear, and since I have everything BN has reissued on single disc, I don't even want to drop $60 on the Mosaic, just for that session. Man, what a real drag Oh wait a minute, I don't have Hipnosis either, so maybe it'd be worth it.

Maybe we'll see a "Rounder Profiles" series or perhaps Rounder RVG's or "The Irwin, Nowlin & Leighton Collection"

Nice nab on the Ware title Colinmce! Speaking of Ware, I had another pretty good used cd haul myself: David S. Ware-Live in the Netherlands-Spas(ch) Love Cry Want-New Jazz Sonny Simmons and Brandon Evans-Universal Prayer/Survival Skills-Parallactic Records Thelonious Monk Quintet-Monk-Prestige RVG Roy Haynes Quartet-Out in the Afternoon-Impulse! John Coltrane-First Meditations-Impulse! Evan Parker-House Full of Floors-Tzadik Archie Shepp/Mal Waldron-Left Alone Revisted-Enja Herbie Mann Plays-Bethlehem/Avenue Jazz Grant Green-Talkin' About-BN
