I know this may dovetail with a certain other thread, but if they can't at least make the effort to dig the music, it's hard to see what they could dig in me...

For a sec I thought you were talking about the Spearman band, but then realized you meant something entirely different! Can't speak for ScoGoJoh but if anybody is in the place to do such a project, it is probably DeJohnette.

White Magic - Dat Rosa Mel Apibus - (Drag City) Getting progressively better over its four sides, this is a virgin spin...

That "sameness" is the impression I've gotten from Silver's work of the '60s, anyway. Not so much the case with the '50s, as certain things were taking off. This has been my problem with Blakey recs as well, maybe even moreso - tho there are some serious standout ABJM sides for sure.

Not that I know shit about Horace's discog., but the one I've consistently enjoyed is Further Explorations. I believe that one's from '58. I have very few of his recordings, though.

How do you think I got a record collection?

I have the Ertunc and the Musra, but this one eludes me! I really like the others a lot...

A number of Andrew Hill sides, esp. Andrew!!! and Compulsion. Big yawn!

No unissued material on the Select. It includes the three albums that originally came out on vinyls plus the two sessions that made up the 'Comin' On' CD. OK, thanks. Got all that. Comin' On is very fine as well!

I wasn't really working. I was there to book studio time with Rudy. Was this the Chuck Nessa-J.R. Monterose duo?

Yep, it's a corker ! I saw one on GEMM for $25... naturally, it was gone when I tried to order!

Do they have access/rights to the tape? Yep.

Good ! A friendly relationship and set sale (even if prices are high) that's what we expect from a site. If you know some, would you share them with us ? HERE is the latest one I received . . . Minimum bid of $20 for a Prestige twofer?! Minimum bid $200 for a Japanese BYG?!

It might be because AAJ is given some publicity in magazines such as 'Jazzwise'. I much prefer the 'underground' feel of this place tho'. It's like a Dutch Fontana to AAJ's CBS!

Good points all, and well-written. Thanks!

Never heard this in mono. Do you know the stereo? How do they compare? Well, it's a fold-down, but it sounds fine. I have had the stereo too, but I don't think the recording quality is good enough to merit a huge difference. The only reason I bought the mono was that it was a nicer copy than my Liberty stereo...

cherryco Now I use my real first name. Honest!

Yeah, was trying to show similar the oth' day, playing contemporaneous Trane and Ayler recordings. It was obvious... but you put it very well.

To echo previous sentiments, the music probably would have taken the turn it did under the auspices of some other figures. It would have been a slightly altered turn, however. I still think Ayler would have come along, if under a slightly different "spell."

Isn't Interstellar space just a little bit too much influenced by Ayler? Just a thought. It always seemed to me that he was really under Ayler's spell on this one. Not sure about that. Just not sure.

Jumping over JT's message, I agree with "acoustic". Going a step further, I think the same could be said for Elvin. Just imagine his career without the JC quarter. Ditto.

Are there unissued tracks on the Select? I have all the aforementioned on LP (various Japanese issues). Yeah, the BNs are essential. I have not gotten as into the NJ session, but it may come.

Huh. So they obviously hadn't heard I Talk with the Spirits...

I still haven't found (much less seen) a copy of the Michael Cosmic LP on Cosmic, titled Peace In The World...
