I was very close to putting At This Time into my Davis list. Once my to-review shelf gets cleaned out I will be grabbing a copy of Vonski Speaks. Can't wait to hear it (again).

I have a few like that also but they are stereo.

As usual, the YouTube comments are beyond insipid.

A Dutch rarity now: Kees Hazevoet - Pleasure One - (Peace Records)

Thanks for the tip. Expensive goods, but some nice ones.

Yup.

I think I hate you! Do you know how impossible that one is to find? Yeah, the Polydor is a bit easier to source and I prefer its artwork, actually... broken-mirror image of Carla Bley! Great stuff. I keep trying to get that Soncino but every copy I've had has been badly warped. Rrgh.

Steve Lacy - Sortie - (GTA Italian original)

I saw him around 2000/2001 in a bar doing a solo set; I'd done my fair share of Takoma listening and wasn't that impressed. In light of his passing and the extensive discography that he built over the last decade, I sort of regret not investigating him further. Clearly he was following in a tradition with as much heart as brain.

That's my impression of a fair number of ECMs that I've heard. I like those three players but not that record.

When I clicked on the link, they also tried to give me a $44 sourcing fee... oof!

No money = no honey.

Damn, dude, you sure go to a lot of shows.

A Grammy for the "best" improvised jazz solo on record in a year? Give me a fucking break.

Feh.

Sirone.

I'm not seeing an alternate on gokudo...

A.R. Penck - Afrika Para Noia - (Weltmelodie) whoever this uncredited baritone saxophonist is, he's good.

Code 81 in Aisle Seven!

Funny; I think that a few of Mojo's choices are actually good ones. I'm partial to the first 10 ECMs, but there are others that are top notch.

I didn't know there was a style other than that damn face-in-the-cup cover.

David S. Ware - From Silence to Music - (Palm) Especially dig the unaccompanied solos on side two.

My copy of Duke Pearson's Wahoo has the back cover label affixed upside down. Not uncommon; I've had one like that too.

Yup, the one I was looking at had 19 discs at $50. This was the same guy who had a Mercury box of Bach's cello suites (Starker) for $100. I should have nabbed that one as well - never gonna see a deal like that again!

I almost bought one of those sets at a good price, until I saw it was missing one of the LPs!
