Don Cherry - Don Cherry - (BYG Japan) Hadn't listened to this in many years. Bennink is very well-recorded here.

I wonder if it is just me -- I have never been able to get into Afro-American Sketches, and have had it a couple of times over the years. That Joe Newman record smokes... as do the small group dates with Dolphy (both of which I also sold but you can't keep everything).

I don't have a basement but I can relate!

have the Labor LPs and have not listened to them (or cared to listen to them) in many years. I guess they should go into the sell pile.

I would be amazed if there's much left that shouldn't go into the dumpster. That shop was awful when I lived in Chicago and I can't imagine it's improved in any way. Sorry, but not every piece of potentially salable media gets a home...

Like anything, there's a whole world of experience beyond the obvious cliches.

Sanborn also worked with Prince Lasha and Odean Pope, not to mention being involved with the Night Music television program, which broke a lot of interesting artists to mainstream audiences. I have very little interest in his commercial pap but am not entirely willing to throw him out either.

Yeah, I've known people whose albums he's booted and am not convinced. But most retailers don't care - if it sells, they'll carry it. Now: Roy Harper - Flat Baroque and Berserk - (Harvest, US pressing)

Ah, that's too bad. RIP. Flute Fever is an excellent album.

That's from BE! Jazz, which is actually a grey-label. I'm surprised that Bear Family is selling this.

Those Mangelsdorffs are great in particular, but finding copies that aren't in rough shape has proven difficult.

Derek Bailey - Aida - (Incus, UK)

will try to grab it when either Dusty Groove or Squidco stock it.

jeffcrom knew Smith well and played with him. The LPs I have are quite spare and rather intense, seemingly coming from George Crumb and Henry Cowell as much as a postwar jazz/free music milieu. But that's only a listener's perspective and I'm sure there's much more to him than that.

Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju - (Impulse, red/black orig.) never tire of this one...

ah, that's a challenge...

Ah, fascinating! That Kühn on CBS is one I've been trying to find for years. It's quite expensive these days, so increasingly unlikely to end up in the ol' shelves.

Damn, looks like you made out with an error on the listing! Got the Schoof CBS from a buddy when I was living in Chicago. It's great.

I have not dug out that Jazz Doctors LP in ages, and should do so again.

dang! I don't have it in my want list (since I have the FMP) so I missed out. Clean?

cheaper just to grab a Gene Shaw LP. Clean one shouldn't set you back more than $15. I did order the McNair.

Haha I don't even want to hazard a guess at how you pulled that one off.

The Prestige title threw me, though evidently it's not coming out. Were Universal Japan licensing some Concord titles? It's all so bizarre.

still waiting for Dusty Groove to have the ones I want in stock. Got the Colbeck LP many years ago for around $50, which was $50 well spent. It's a great record.

Brus Trio & Charles Tyler - Autumn in Paris - (Silkheart, SWE)
