[Positone New Releases]

Release date April 26:

Vibraphonist Behn Gillece showcases how to "Stick Together" with several of his favorite musicians – pianist Art Hirahara, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Rudy Royston – to celebrate the power of collaboration and synergy. Together, they skillfully blend their individual talents, creating a musical tapestry that combines technical precision and heartfelt expression, reflecting the rich spectrum of human emotions. Gillece's compositional prowess takes center stage, complemented by the evocative piano of Hirahara, the resonant bass lines of Kozlov, and the rhythmic prowess of Royston. The palpable friendship and chemistry among these four artists result in an electrifying and joyous synergy, elevating each performance to new heights. With the leader's creative ingenuity setting the course and the ensemble's collective artistry providing the energetic drive, this engaging album provides an unforgettable sonic experience. It demonstrates that a splendid time is guaranteed for all when we "Stick Together."

I just noticed this DeJohnette album listed on Dusty Groove.  Per the concert list linked-to by bertrand in the first post, this would have been May 4, 1980:

There is no shortage of quality late career Art Pepper recordings but his one from March 14th, 1978 is special .... btw worth the ticket of entry for Bob Magnusson`s outstanding bass work ....

I believe that's also available on this:

I prefer Tatum in a group setting to solo, so I may get this.

My wife has been in public/community radio for her entire career, and things are getting very "conservative" - and moderators, that's a lower-case "c" conservative, to clarify - in terms of what is allowed on the radio.

Don't call it "conservative" - call it "progressive."

Yes, thanks for all you do, Thom.  We really appreciate it.

JazzDepot.com which is the label's direct sale website lists 10 releases and I think that is all of them. So ... pretty readily available if not necessarily at a discount.

The Joe Henderson Blue Notes are all readily available, yet they were collected in a Mosaic box.  

Mosaic's website states: "But when you consider how much was happening from 1963 to 1966, the years covered by this collection, and contemplate how many different looks he provided through that time period, you can’t ignore his significance as a saxophonist and as someone central to the music’s development."  In other words, the box prompts a reassessment.

And going back to "readily available," Amazon has the following only available through third-party vendors:  Chillin, Keep The Spirits Singing, Davey Blue, The Gift, Song For The New Man, I Remember Brother Ray, and Life.

Finally, should Mosaic take my suggestion and issue a Fathead box, you don't have to buy it.  Others will.

Great recordings but aren't these pretty easily available? Not exactly archival if the definition is "not recent".

Having them in one place, in great sound, prompts a reassessment and perhaps renewed respect for an under appreciated jazz master (and his sidemen, such as Steve Nelson).  Also, not sure how readily available many of the titles are currently.  Finally, many of these dates were recorded at Rudy's, so they're sure to sound great.

$5 a month is $60/yr 

If there are 31 people who can do $5 a month then this gets done. 

I currently give more than $60/yr, so I'd be in.

Just spitballing, but maybe an annual campaign, raise the full amount of funding for the upcoming year?  I would be happy to pay my fair share that way.

The problem is, what if the number of contributors doesn't cover the annual cost?

I think what Jim A. is looking for is simply a predictable stream of donations to keep the board running.

But 46 regulars at $40pa doesn't seem beyond hope?  I'd be happy to commit to that

Agreed.
