yeah, the grip-and-flip secondary market for limited edition new releases is a bummer. That happened big time with the Resonance Ayler box, though I was lucky to get one no problem on RSD.

Wonderful news! Definitely read about this concert before and have long been curious.

I hope he is ok. He was on Facebook but I no longer have FB.

There are a fair amount of younger people who also don't fool around with physical media in the traditional sense (digital objects being physical in another sense). $150 LP boxed sets are nothing new, but it seems like there should be a cheaper option. I also do not have a better-than-average income and have been collecting for over 25 years. Then again, there are a lot more millionaires now than there were when I started collecting, and a lot more poor people who don't have time to think about $150 Mingus boxed sets as well.

It's Warren.

La Croix limoncello. wonder if the thread starter, aloc (Jerry, I think his name is or was), is still around? Seemed like a good chap.

Wish I could be there. I pestered McPhee to bring me back a poster, hopefully he can snag one!

of course it was

Kindred Spirits did Funny Funky Rib Crib as a CD, and Jazzman did the Gilson/Malagasy stuff on CD. Never had the Khan Jamal on Palm but would like to. The original has gotten very, very expensive.

Interesting. Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion -- my wording was garbled. What Chuck posted -- the "this" I was referring to -- is the original sleeve art; the Polydor/Storyville art was used starting in the late 1960s.

yeah, Trio is worth the price of admission alone. the Storyville reissue uses the International Polydor cover. This is the original sleeve art, which first appeared on a heavy folkways-style sleeve and then was issued in a thin flipback by Sonet.

What do we know, if anything, about the bassist Donald Bailey?

^ I'm with you. It's not an album I "need" but it's cool and seems genuine.

Nice one. Have a Japanese pressing from the 80s.

Interesting... I have all of this on CD but would welcome the Tone Poet.

Mine has shipped; I wasn't expecting it to fly so quickly, and am glad to have gotten the restock. Looking forward to spending some time with this music. I only have a smattering of his recordings on LP.

yeah, this is excellent. Thank you for passing it along.

we should be complaining about wage stagnation and the cost of housing relative to the cost of our jazz.

Hope more makes it to YouTube...

Has anyone seen the remaining 13 minutes? Excellent performance and crystal clear footage.

😆

yeah, I've heard it -- the moans and groans probably inspired him.

Pretty much only one (or two) reasons to own that!
