The Eastern Moods LP is what I was trying to think of. Pretty scarce and interesting that it's a trio. My yearning just got even more pronounced...

I have a Braxton around here somewhere with the blue-box "D" inside a large blue circle on a white ground. The vinyl is heavy and the address is Seven West Grand. Probably the 1st for the Braxton, but I assume a mid-period Delmark.

Not to mention Pat's friend, Chris. Certainly one of the better skits of SNL's later years...

Similarly "brittle" sound of the front line, maybe, and thin, top-heavy recording quality. I don't have it accessible right now, but I assume Alderson engineered the Bley. Barrage is a motherfucker - dig how Bley, Gomez and Graves just turn the rhythm around!

I have a copy of this somewhere ...will have to listen. Maybe all three are there but Mongs isn't announced?

Thanks, and yeah, I think you are right about that. Let this thread get away whilst moving and just now getting back to reading the replies. Thanks to all; Nessa offered to burn the material for my GF, as my burn capabilities went out with my burner biting the dust.

Yes, a high-school girl, iirc.

bev is a man Right, I always assumed that anyway. Those English...

Glad you dig the whole package! Sure, it's a "period" piece, but very strong at that. There's a bitch of an LP that Phillips cut with Abdul Wadud and drummer Hasaan Al-Hut (as the Black Unity Trio), that really needs a proper reissue.

Right, like when I was contracted to do the Norman Howard liner notes by ESP, and they gave me an advance pressing with no titles. I had to work from the titles on an old cassette of the master! I won't even get into the jumble that their copyeditor made of the handed-in document...

No clue what's on it, 'cept maybe Pictures of Infinity (Black Lion), which is solid and "out," if memory serves...

Maybe the vinyl hounds will know this, but is the African Moods LP (Prestige) the same session as Spellbound (Status)?

Yeah, that's a fine disc indeed.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! The RCA is Jack Montrose, not JR Monterose. Two very different players!!!! I for one am tired of that confusion as well. J.R. gets under my skin, Jack doesn't.

I have some early Delmark titles with the blue "D" in a circle and an otherwise mostly white label. My vinyl is now in storage, but I believe the address would have been 4243 N. Lincoln.

According to person introducing the band, it's Harry Beckett and Marc Charig on trumpets. Ah, so "Chuck Mangione" must've been a misprint...

Yeah, probably mine too. I have two on New Jazz and one on Riverside; there's a scarce one on Prestige that I long for...

I'm not involved with the "CTResearch" group, but I am not so sure that trading among collectors is a bad thing. Profiting is something else, but tape-trading among fans and scholars I can't frown upon. Especially artists like Cecil, whose music demands careful study but who hasn't always had the benefit of record companies willing to release his music. Not having been around the music in 1966, it's great to hear such an important transitional piece as "Amplitude" on "bootlegs," not to mention write about it.

Fast shipping and great service. Recommended!

Damn, that's sad. Really liked him on a number of occasions.

It's The Mastersounds.

I'd be surprised if one couldn't make a great profit on $80K, though. But that would take a serious investment in time as well. I'd take his 2,000 jazz LPs for $2 a disc and do some work with that...

I live in Texas.....

Busy grad student.

Thanks - the world feels a little more right today.
