Well as soon as it hits the deck it's no longer mint, I guess, but I catch your drift...

Intersystems - Number One - (Cortical Fdn reissue of the Allied original)

This is the Dutch/UK pressing of the Fontana Blood. I used to have a somewhat worn copy but switched to a minty Japanese one with the Roling jacket.

This one? I think this might be his best solo recording! Love it! ubu This is on the Mosaic set, am I right? Cliff, that was on the Monk Black Lion box set as I recall. Right, that's what I thought.

High on my wants list, for sure.

Great record. Sometimes those Japanese Fontana CDs are harder to find than the vinyl! Looks like it pops up on eBay and Discogs from time to time, so you should be able to score one eventually.

:tup Have a great night, Karl!

Weird.

Some of these are in a book I have called Blue Note Jazz Photography of Francis Wolff.

Sweet!

Walt Dickerson & Jimmi Johnsun - I Hear You John - (Steeplechase)

Without having read the book - I would like to - my feeling is that Joe's approach is akin to teaching abstract painting. Though abstract painting might not have the same visual properties as representational painting, it still has a variety of principles that can be taught in order to give the student a very wide array of methodological choices. That doesn't mean the student will be boxed in, and nor does it preclude the student following their own path. I don't think Joe's book or course would deviate from the Dixonian dictum, "you start from where you are - you'll get to the rest in time."

Agreed, Stephen - though the music is, for lack of a better term, the "reason," there's a lot more to explore in Bill's work. The artwork and the text feels very necessary. And though I'm lucky to have a few concert broadcasts, they feel naked without other aspects.

Glad you dug it! I actually thought we were keeping on until winter but hey, summer seems like a good time to bring things to a close. Enjoyed writing for Dan and Nate, indeed.

Agreed. AndraJazz is pretty neat but kind of pricey. Harald gets amazing stuff but he knows what he has.

AndraJazz score?

New York Contemporary Five - Vol. 2 - (International Polydor)

Ah, haven't heard the boxed set version!

I could hear Miles c. '63/'64 playing "Beatrice," for sure. Fuchsia Swing Song is a great record though I sometimes want to hear those lines played on trumpet - perhaps mid-Sixties Lee Morgan.

Nice one!
