I guess as an amendment to my earlier comment, who are the buyers for something like this? Heady jazz fans already have the material and audiophile collectors don't often buy CDs.

yup. Ping is pretty cool and those postwar Chicago discographies are fascinating. A bit later, but I've still not figured out much regarding Ardell Nelson's Jazz Prophets, which features the first recording of Leroy Jenkins. Ra-ish organ, drums, violin combo. I have the 45 and it's quite enjoyable.

yup. Also with Giorgio Gaslini, Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani and that crew. I've heard some very interesting early Gato radio recordings that put his development a bit afield from the "Latin Pharaoh" tag that he eventually embraced.

I wouldn't mind it if ESP put those back out in a small box form.

Easy sell, full of excellent music -- then on to Bill Barron I hope.

Interesting. When I took Richard Wright's jazz history course in college, he devilishly fit Bossa Nova and The New Thing into one class, tying them together with Archie Shepp's take on "Girl From Ipanema." Miss that guy. He was a big Roswell Rudd fan.

Gotcha - I don't have Facebook, but that makes sense. Purim's text seemed oddly worded.

Brazil has universal health care that is free, so I would imagine his hospital bills would be mostly covered by that, no? The dole I can see a long waiting time for.

maybe the Andrew Hill Ping 45s?

yeah, I have my doubts, but hopefully...

oh man, I wish I had an original Pathé to supplant the Nessa copy... would welcome CDs from the master tapes should they happen!

Wow.

Interesting. I would say I listen to music from each decade fairly equally, with recent listening skewing toward the last 20 years or so. It helps on the latter point to see a lot of live music and book bands at a venue near my house.

That's too bad. RIP.

Made uneasy.

Alan Bates was snapping up anything he could. I'm glad the music is out there for sure but can't imagine anyone was really getting paid too much out of the deal. Bill Dixon was going to do a Fontana 2LP set (it would have had Marte Röling's artwork!) but got skeeved out by the terms.

Weird. A few I would like to get as they are otherwise unissued.

excellent record that I haven't dug out in years -- actually had forgotten about the kitty on the cover, which is strange because I am rather cat-obsessed!

right. I never had the FMP CD, only the LP. Anyway, it's a swell performance.

he did not feel prepared for the date, apparently.

it's on the Complete Machine Gun Sessions CD on Atavistic/UMS. Good stuff. I assume Pharoah was signed in '66 leading up to Tauhid. Not sure what Marion Brown's contract looked like; there was at least one other album recorded for Impulse in the 1960s that did not make it to print, and he decamped for Europe not too long after Three For Shepp was released. Of course, that contract was picked back up (or another one written) in the '70s.

Yes, I have an older reissue of Eclipse and did buy this box set as well. Can't comment on the Black Editions pressing of Eclipse but they did a great job on Station '70/Live Independence. The music is fantastic, of course, detailed and often quite dense.

Brown didn't have a contract with Impulse until 1966.

If it were recorded properly, I doubt Dixon would have been submerged. His tone definitely cuts through, even if it is dusky. But given the actual history of the time I cannot really imagine him being on that record. Steve Lacy would've been fun, but he was in Europe at that time. I also don't think of Allen and Dixon as among the younger 60s crop; they were born in 1924 and 1925, respectively.
