Since I figure that few of us are going to lay down thousands to acquire a bunch of OJCs, I think this thread will be useful as well. Some stuff that is certain to stay in print:

most if not all of the Miles titles

most if not all of the of the Trane titles

most of the classic Bill Evans stuff on Riverside

most if not all of the Monk (Riverside + Prestige)

most if not all of the Sonny Rollins

most if not all of the Cannonball

the two Ornettes on Contemporary

oh, and don't forget the Creedence

Should things turn bad with the Fantasy catalog, I'm going to view Cecil Taylor's LOOKING AHEAD! as the canary in the coal-mine. If it stay in print, I have hope. If it does not... I worry.

I would be willing to bet all (or most) of the Shelly Manne and Poll-Winners material stays.

Excellent litmus test, by the way. One would think this title would remain in the permanent collection ... but one never knows, do one?

I think you can add Art Tatum's recordings on Pablo and Mingus Debut recordings to this category.

For all practical purposes, I am not sure if most of the Mingus Debut recordings are in print as we speak. I guess that the box set is still available. But I wonder when the last time was that Fantasy ran off a batch of the Mingus Rarities series?

My guess is that Concord might make a 2-fer (they love 2-fers) of the Bohemia recordings and scrap the rest.
