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)

Harry De Wit & Phillip Wachsmann - For Harm - (Bead, UK) excellent violin-piano duos and quartets with Kees van Zelst and Jan Kamphuis (percussion and bass, respectively).

Allan Praskin - Encounter - (Three Blind Mice, JP) fantastic quartet date with Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Yoshio Ikeda and Motohiko Hino. Praskin is also the altoist on James Zitro's ESP record date.

Sad news. Only saw him once, with the Four Beings group (Tchicai, Alschul, Lane) and it was quite a performance. He did indeed "smoke."

They should, a la Cecil Taylor's "Unit Structures," John Patton's "Let 'em Roll" and other hybrid issues from the period.

Eric First, Walks Last.

Ah, I wasn't thinking of the archival stuff. Right.

used to have all three of those and kept zero. Oh well. I think only the Turrentine was M- and to me the music seemed pedestrian (compared to some of the hot early Blue Notes, anyway).

Makes sense. The avant-garde titles consisted of one Simmons, one Smiley Winters 2LP, one Lee Cronbach (Luna), one Jerry Hahn, and Now! which was a small orchestra directed by pianist/percussionist and arranger David Young. I'm glad these albums exist, because I get the feeling that if Arhoolie hadn't documented them, nobody would have.

Does anyone know the source behind the small clutch of Bay Area jazz records that Arhoolie released? While excellent, they always seemed like catalog outlier to me.

I have a Japanese LP copy of Brown Sugar but admittedly haven't played or thought about it in years.

desert island record for me, assuming there's a turntable, speakers, and somewhere to plug in...

Okay, all are spoken for. Thanks!

Five lots down, two remain. Thanks guys.

Okay, two down and five lots to go. I think that some of the remainder will be a little more weird-leaning free improv and whatnot.

Okay, relyles is down. six more.
