yeah, I'm willing to trust Pierre Crépon on this. Sad news. I interviewed him in 2004, fascinating character and one of the great saxophonists to emerge in the 1960s.

perhaps issues with the tape on Priestess? who knows, anybody's guess. Or there'll be a part two for RSD 2022? now: Annette Peacock & Paul Bley -- Dual Unity -- (Freedom UK orig) packed most of my records for an impending move, but some are still kicking around.

It's straight ahead but good music, important release for sure.

Probably in reference to the Jazz Behind the Dikes series on Philips: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Jazz-Behind-The-Dikes-1955-57/release/5077104

Excellent set. Hope he is doing okay.

Ha! Yeah, I bought an original sealed years ago for quite a bit less than that. Flipping reissues is a very strange phenomenon.

The original New Life is very sought after. It's a good record for sure.

Nice!! I've never heard this one and will definitely pick it up.

Jacobites -- Robespierre's Velvet Basement -- (Glass, UK orig)

Was this material recorded at the Stone? I heard about those concerts but did not attend.

what does the DeFranco/Clark LP set usually go for? I know of one for sale in town but as I'm moving, the temptation is a little bit worn off.

Jackie McLean -- Steeplechase -- (New Jazz) a/k/a Jackie's Pal. Cooker.

yeah, at that time they weren't even really shipping to the US!

^ Awesome.

yeah, CD is the way to go for most of these. I did preorder the Russell and the Rendell/Carr on LP to try them out, but otherwise am sticking to digital formats.

Love love love Lonesome Dove. Need to read more, however. RIP.

I only have the 2LP set! Would spring for the 8 CDs but I don't need a giant 12 LP box. No room and it wouldn't get played enough.

Very sad, seemed sudden. RIP.

whatever my wife can tolerate.

Right, thanks, that's it.

He's a really good guy but yeah, I never got much of a necessity feeling about the artists/topics he covered. there's a lot of fantastic new music in the "jazz" realm too, but it isn't and wasn't in Chinen's purview.

yeah, I would assume so.

Carson records are really weird. Shepp's "Doodlin'" is another one but that seems to have also taken place as part of the America series of recordings, and just didn't fit with the others (Pitchin' Can, Coral Rock, Black Gipsy). The only Carson copy of Chi-Congo that I have seen in person looked to be a 1980s pressing, perhaps some sort of weird bootleg. The cover did not at all have the construction or feel of an early 70s French release.

yeah, where can I preorder the LPs?

my understanding was that Berjot was responsible for the America, Carson/Decca, and Galloway recordings and released/sold them as he saw fit.
