I thought a lot of the '60s/early '70s stuff was lost in an apartment fire.

Dennis Budimir - A Second Coming - (Revelation)

Yeah, it's really good, epitomising the "free bop" ethos.

Amalgam - Play Blackwell & Higgins - (A Records, UK)

They made a lot of people very happy - sure, I never really got that into them, but they were pretty major in bringing macabre, weird bubblegum pop to a few generations of energized and pissed-off kids. They did right.

Howard Nishioka - Street Songs - (Otaro) late '70s Hawaiian psych, interesting stuff.

Ortega is great!

Al Shorter - Parabolic - (Verve/Polydor, UK)

Ornette - Paris Concert - (Trio, JP)

Ornette/Haden - Soapsuds, Soapsuds - (Artists House)

Oh DAMN! This one hurts. Great player, even if some of his recent recordings haven't grabbed me. Here is an interview I did with him years ago. One of the first few I did. Super nice guy.

How much?

Eight big ones for In Transition in M- condition is a very nice price these days.

I believe that Love For Sale as it exists on the 2LP set contains one extra track not on the original album.

on the spine of this lp, does it really say Bossa Nova Soul Samba. i think there has been some confusion over this Looking at the stereo NY USA spine it says Bossa Nova at the top of the spine, and a little further down it reads Soul Samba, then Ike Quebec, and then Blue Note Stereo 84114 near the bottom.

I always found it funny that Ornette and Horace both titled tunes "Peace" and "Lonely Woman."

Yeah I wasn't too excited on the transfers and was happy to sell this thing. Did I sell it to someone on the board? Maybe. I have most of the LPs (not the flexi singles, sadly) and a smattering of the CDs, and realized that was all I needed. With a few exceptions they are all musically inconsistent and that may be their consistency. What might've been better: well-curated boxed sets sampling parts of the ICP arc.

I like the first two, haven't heard the third one. He's a good player and very young, which gives me hope that one day he'll be awesome.

I need to go back and hear those Blythe Columbia LPs again, thanks for the reminder. Carry on!

Quite.

Ah, I only know Dom as a guitarist. Seems like a nice guy.

It would be too bad if this went unsold.

I think that was around the time I was going to offer someone on this board a certain figure for his. Then they started skyrocketing and I could no longer offer a "fair" price.

I don't know which one you're referring to, but I would suspect that the front cover would have been the one Braxton signed off on and thus the most likely to be "correct."

Brown's strongest work, in my opinion. Very much deserving of wider recognition. elizabeth-bishop.jpg (UK) louise-glück.jpg (Japan) There are also two other Japanese sleeve designs. One could argue for grit and grain being the defining characteristics of Porto Novo as well. Not to denigrate Mohawk, which is probably THE New York Art Quartet record and one of the better documents of the period (along with Intents & Purposes, Unit Structures and several others).
