Just put on my copy...

Great record.

Love that Oliv LP. Now: Marion Brown - Porto Novo - (Polydor UK)

It's good but not worth spending THAT kinda bread...

An original? Very nice! Always regret passing on a mint original for $100 because I had just bought the reissue LP...oh well :/ Yup. Ended up trading a boring psych record for it. Now: Jackie McLean - Action - (BN Liberty stereo)

Willem Breuker - Litany for the 14th of June 1966 - (Relax/Wergo, 2nd side is a quintet w/ Mengelberg, Courbois, Kaihatu) Willem Breuker/Han Bennink - New Acoustic Swing Duo - (ICP) and Sendai Sjors Sendai Sjimmie (Jazz & NOW) Willem Breuker - The Message - (ICP) Gunter Hampel - Assemblage - (ESP) Gunter Hampel Group + Jeanne Lee - (Wergo) Gunter Hampel - The 8th of July 1969 (Birth) Gunter Hampel - People Symphony (Birth) Leo Cuypers - "Live" in Shaffy (BVHaast) Leo Cuypers - Zeeland Suite (BVHaast) Breuker/Cuypers duo - Live in Shaffy (BVHaast) and Superstars (SAJ)

still need to pick this up.

Haden with a wah-wah pedal was always my understanding.

Bill Dixon - In Italy vol. 1 - (Soul Note, IT)

Byard Lancaster - Funny Funky Rib Crib - (Vendemiaire/Palm, FR)

Yeah, I never experienced this in speaking with him but can only mention what I encountered. This was 2003 or 2004.

That's a heavy deal.

Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots...

As above, sorry to be nowhere near this.

Wow.

what about YOUR LP?

Well said above. Nipples is a great record and the passages of Bailey/Bennink/Niebergall on this and More Nipples make me wish Derek had made a trio album with those two. But I digress. Indeed, Parker's true individuality/originality emerged after 1969 but he's wonderful on every record he made in those early years. From a bit later, I'd like to get Cybernetic Serendipity Music. Homefromtheforest probably has it!

Too bad. I did not realize he was 70 for some reason. Guess I'm used to seeing those eternally young photos. RIP.

I don't think Victor pressings are that great until the 1980s. Those that I have from the early to mid '70s are pretty crappy. Toshiba has been good although my only experience is with more recent (1980s-present) issues. Kenwood manufactured Trio records and those often sound wonderful. Warner/Pioneer pressings are also real nice in my experience. They did a fine job on their Atlantic titles. Makes me want to knock off early and listen to some Japanese jazz albums!

Both are very fine LPs. Tears for Dolphy might be one of my all time favorite jazz records.

I'd have a field day there.

No, just the individual LPs. I wish I had the Cadillac/Incus box (which comes with a cassette of alternate takes, a booklet with text by Paul Haines, and I believe is signed/numbered), but can live with the standard editions.

I have enjoyed recent Parker gigs, though the way he plays now is not as raw as 40, 30 or even 15 years ago. I remember seeing him in the late '90s/early '00s with Schlippenbach and each occasion was momentous and extreme. The Parker/Guy/Lytton trio was also wonderful to see live during that period. It must've been even moreso in the salad days of efi. I saw him do a short solo performance in Minneapolis in 2004 or 2005 and it was excellent; he then proceeded to play with local musicians who were excited to be onstage with him, and he was gracious in his playing with a young trio of Midwestern improvisers. Good times. He seems to be more measured in his playing now, but there are flashes of what has made him singular.

I was dubious about this and prepared to punt it to someone else, but it's actually very good.

Wow, The Snake Decides goes for way more bread on CD than it does on LP! Great record. Monoceros is off the charts, though, and Six Of One is pretty sick as well. I was spinning it the other day and it was killing me. Still need a nice copy of Zanzou.
