Mait Edey, the pianist who ran the Seeds label out of Boston. Interesting!

looks good -- I have that Agerbeek LP set with Dexter, and Rudi Brink is on some fine dates as well (Herman Schoonderwalt's "The Winner" being one).

Those Archie Shepp Full Moon Ensemble LPs on BYG-Actuel would qualify for me. Love all the players but the music just doesn't gel imo. Of course, I probably haven't pulled them out in 20 years or so.

Pretty sure their = gender neutral pronoun.

HOLY SHIT. Just donated. So sorry to read this.

sad news from his colleagues -- the great pianist Bobby Few has died in Paris at age 85. I was just thinking about him the other day as I went back through a tape of an interview I did with him, wherein he played as we chatted over the phone. Really nice guy and an amazing player -- saw him twice, once in duo with Avram Fefer and once in a quartet led by Noah Howard. The Frank Wright/Center of the World recordings he participated in are desert island discs for me. Ditto his work with Steve Lacy. RIP.

that's an incredible record but I don't really understand their model in this case. Easier to just find an original or an old Abraxas boot. I would suspect the only time anyone got paid was 54 years ago for the tape. also: regarding Survival, keep your ears to the ground on the Watts angle.

hahah should've expected that!

I'm not convinced it won't be re-pressed.

right, when I was a reviewer the number of labels that sent physical product dwindled to just a couple. It's like, I wasn't getting paid to write, at least give me something to hold onto and file in my shelves!

probably not counting the unsigned new wave college bands playing in the dorm cafeteria, which would be pretty interesting.

yeah, exactly.

Trane sounds great on it.

Miles and Milt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintet/Sextet Miles and Teddy Charles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moods I'm sure that at least Miles and Milt performed in concert together. Miles and Don Elliot in '52: http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Disco.aspx?id=RareBroad

I have the New Jazz pressing, "Big Stuff," which is in mono. Incredible album -- Lacy really shines.

I'm curious too. This is a good thread that I missed the first time around, including the Kimbrough appearance (RIP).

Interesting.

are they duos or is it a full band?

nothing in Discogs as far as its existence; google isn't coming up with much at all. Weird.

Re: Tokyo Bound, Takeshi Inomata is on a ton of records so I was a bit confused by the wording there... great record though.

yeah, certainly some very expensive records over the years.

yeesh. Sorry to hear that.

Jesus. Sad, sad news.

It's still in shops around here if anyone is looking. I can check prices next time I venture out.
