I have Silence and The Complete Braxton on Intercord/Freedom. Were there any other Braxtons issued under that aegis? If indeed the Braxton is released, I'm definitely buying it!

Man, I really wish I could go in on some of these right now. They're great deals and the music is/must be fantastic.

Oh, certainly they do. They're frighteningly awesome. So for me, it's unfortunate that the ensuing 35 years (CTI and after) featured so much dreck. Then again, I assume the dude wanted to make money.

D'oh! Forgot about picking this up. Now it's on the list for next CD purchase!

Damn, that is too bad! Really love both Rififi and The Naked City! RIP.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed by that Clean Feed, despite the presence of some "heavy hitters." Oh well.

RIP.

I like Freddie's music of a certain period. Blasphemy, maybe, but I think he "stopped" in the '70s.

Or, through the magic of babelfish:

Thanks, shows you what I know!

Yes, and all the others you've been missin' ... Now let's not start that... we get to things when we get to them. I've got about 12-15 Mobley sessions so it's a start.

I thought you were a professor.

They're on the first two, right? I sold those for $50 a pop. Would probably like to have the music now. I preferred Neu!, fwiw.

Will be seeing Brotzmann in Houston on the 27th with my dad!

typic Nate Chinen bullshit & nonsense-- typin' loud & saying NOTHING. tickets were way too expensive for edc-- at least Marty gives us freebies, too bad it was for the Stones. (better than Nate Chinen but what the fuck ain't?) I dunno. I'm neither here nor there on Chinen, but I thought it was a pretty descriptive sentence. The ticket prices, I'm with you there. The thing is with Chinen, that that sentence could be said better using most of the same words.

Thanks! I think I see Hennen in the background there.

I think that Workout might be my top of the three, though Roll Call has some really bitchin' Bu. I agree that SS has a similar vibe to Quiet Kenny, a laid-back but highly nuanced session, though it's certainly not the first Hank I reach for. I do enjoy Hank with a front line partner and some fires stoked as well. By the same token, I enjoy the somewhat ragged company he kept with Donald Byrd and Doug Watkins on those Transition records (in terms of the "spirit" of the dates). I guess I need to get Dippin', huh?

This was a good box dug out of storage: Jemeel Moondoc/Muntu - First Feeding - (Muntu) w/ Wm. Parker, Art Williams, Rashid Bakr, and Mark Hennen on piano.

That is kind of a ridiculous "bonus." I'd prefer some sea monkeys.

I've got most of those on OJC CD, Prestige LP or in one case, Jubilee vinyl. I guess if Concord isn't doing their end justice and the Jubilee/Ad Lib catalog is in the hands of Fresh Sound, well...

Still looking for that Michael Cosmic private LP... Other things come and go, but I've NEVER seen that offered.

Wow! Sad news, and so young.

And, curiously, with Paul Bley and Jimmy Giuffre in the late '70s.

You know, his property in Lawrence, KS bordered a friend's backyard. Even after he died, apparently the "caretaker/archivist" still had people over to, you know, shoot things off of peoples' heads and eat pizza.

For a second, I thought this was a thread about the band Pitchblende.
