I am curious why the Kuhn Brothers date was reissued on CD by MPS, since it's an Impulse session. I mean, I know both of them had MPS dates later, but...
Yeah, as they say "our loss is your gain."
Picked up the Braxton piano music as well as some others I'd been curious about but never picked up. I'm sure I'll go for another ten on my next paycheck though the amount of time I have to listen to what I *should* be digging into is barely extant (no headphones at work!).
Huh.
I don't have the Encore set, just a Japanese Toshiba vinyl of the regular ol' BN. Fine session though I guess in subsequent years the CBBB records have thrilled me more.
I have enjoyed enough of Corea's music to say that generally, the cheesy record covers and past its prime fusion aside, I like him. Vitous & Haynes, Circle, some of the solo stuff, early RTF, etc. is all quite good to totally killer.
Yeah, Trombolenium is quite good. Neuph, too. There is much great Rutherford out there in about every configuration imaginable. I'm sad he passed before "we" were ready but he left a lot of work to be heard.
I've seen Wierbos solo - great - but never owned any of his solo recordings.
There's also a solo Vinko Globokar on FMP (vinyl), which I don't believe has been reissued.
Well, the provenance is what's important. When Juma Sultan's collection of other artists' LPs was being sold off to generate cash for his website/online archive, almost everything was trashed. But it was kind of cool to see things like original Jihad and Coltrane Records vinyl from a brother who was there and actually making work with these people.
