I have the same issue that you do and it is indeed there. Consider that this was the era in which home taping started to take off.

I just offer at what I think would be a good deal, usually half to 2/3 what the new price would be.

Morning off after a day of driving yesterday. Now spinning: Manfred Schoof - Sextett - (Wergo Jazz orig) w/ Gerd Dudek, Alex v. Schlippenbach, Buschi Niebergall, Sven-Ake Johansson and Jaki Liebezeit.

I like a fair amount of disastrous shit.

I saw him in maybe 2002 in Chicago with a quartet and it was excellent. From what I could determine/understand at the time, it seemed very 'free.'

Whoa! RIP. Certainly casts a pall over SXSW this year.

I want that Hampton set. I am also tapped out and way behind in my listening.

Grass Roots is one that I do return to often. The unissued session on the CD is nice, too. "Bayou Red" is the shizz. Roy Haynes totally kills on Black Fire.

I told my dad to jump on the Tyner. He loves McCoy's music and I really like those later BNs.

Andrew's music is confounding to me. I don't always like it - indeed, his playing and some of his composing leaves me cold a lot of the time. But for whatever reason, I buy and listen to everything of his I can get my hands on, feeling that someday I'll "get it." Point of Departure is the first AH I bought, back in the days of Manhattan CDs (now I've got a super-clean mono vinyl). I used to really dig it, but now I feel it's probably one of his least "successful" BNs.

Yeah, Ubu is right. I like Shepp's piano playing, especially on that version of "I Should Care." Reid is playing arco bass on side A. The plodding bottom end is a combination of piano, low valve trombone and bass drum - typical of Alan Shorter's composition and arrangements.

Excellent! Digging for my copy of the same to spin it! Shouldn't be too hard, right? It's on the "J" floor of your LP warehouse!

I heard some of it on the radio this morning on my way to work. Awful. The band was decent I guess, but his squawking was insufferable. If your voice is like Britt Daniel from Spoon, you shouldn't be singing jazz standards.

I am pretty sure that most of the people commenting here haven't really given a listen to rap or hip-hop. I'm no expert, but I'm not going to denigrate a genre just because of its public image and what's been encouraged by a few dumbshits in the music.

And some Bill Dixon

That the one with "Once Upon a Time in the Projects"? I had it on cassette...that dates me, doesn't it? Yes - me too. I saw a Priority/Ruthless vinyl of it recently but it was too battered to buy.

Wonder if there's an Esquire variant?

If you go back and find the James Newton "Flute Music" LP, you can send it to the following address...

I was told he had passed on by both Jackie McLean and Bill Dixon (both of whom worked with him), but as I don't have their notes in front of me, I don't have a year for you.

Homeless copy of: Movement Soul, Volume Two (ESP-Disk) Speeches, sounds and snippets from the Civil Rights Movement.

Walt Dickerson - To My Queen - (New Jazz orig)

I am under the impression that to do so would require a Ouija board. (in other words, he's dead.)

Oh yeah, early PE were excellent. KRS-1 MC Lyte Tribe ... Hell, Ice Cube's 1st solo l/p is pretty great.

Yep.

Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter - (Elektra), gold label
