Ornette on Verve/Harmolodic

If Gramavision is a major label, I'd throw Anthony Davis into the ring as well. He also recorded his opera of Malcolm X for Koch... bigger indie I guess, rather than a major.

A couple of Ware's Columbias were not DIW reissues, IIRC.

Sonny Simmons on Qwest

Shit, sorry to hear this.

Yeah, I only have the old Contemporary LP but it's a gas. Will have to get these extra tracks.

haven't dug out those Denons in a long time. They are good.

Looks like the welcome wagon has already materialized Hope you stick around, Jeff, and are able to engage, contribute and learn from the board.

I really like the cover on those three ten inches. IIRC the Dial 12" came housed in a generic sleeve or at least none has surfaced with a cover.

Mine is an original mono pressing and looks like the full color image upthread.

Star Wars

I super dig those early LPs from Minnesota. I only know the Hat with McPhee. Which other ones would you suggest checking out? Blue Freedom's New Art Transformation and Improvisations/Being Free are also good, albeit hard to find LPs.

Holy cow.

Huh - missed this when it was at White Columns, apparently.

Yes, that would be the original of I'm All Smiles. It's ok, band and material looks like it would be cooler than it is. I prefer Spanish Steps (Woode and Taylor) and would like to hear Hamp's Piano on Saba/MPS (Weber, Weiss).

$9 good music and $500 good music are often equally good. Or, the same music on an original Hank Mobley 1568 is on the CD...

I actually find that early Milo Fine stuff to be pretty weird and interesting.

yeah, I feel the same way. My most monetarily valuable records have definitely received quite a fair amount of careful play.

It's happened before - nobody died as far as I know...

In terms of vintage recordings, chewy might be right - people I know who own record stores sell far, far more jazz on LP than they ever have on CD. It's like night and day. Used LPs wouldn't factor into such ratings but new reissues might - I'm not sure if all formats are tracked equally.

Don Was is the head of BN. Ferguson was in Spirit, so that has to count for something...

That Portal is good. Still would like to get a copy of Music for Living Process - seems like it's findable, albeit not cheap.

Now: Gruppo di Improvisazione Nuova Consonanza - Improvisazione - (DGG, Ger, out of the Avant-garde Vol. 2 box) been a while since I spun this. Better than I remember.

True...

My copy would be fine save for a hairline that clicks through one of Ray's solos in a quieter area.
