Whole heap of great British jazz that has yet to make it to CD (other than possible Japanese or boot issues):

Off the top of my head-

Joe Harriott 'Hum Dono' (UK Columbia)

Kenny Wheeler 'Windmill Tilter' (Fontana)

Mike Taylor 'Pendulum' (UK Columbia)

'Introducing Danny Moss' (UK Columbia)

Neil Ardley 'Symphony of Amoranths (Regal Zonophone)

D'Silva/Alford - 'Cosmic Eye/Dream Sequence (Regal Zonophone)

Tony Coe 'Zeitgeist' (EMI)

Mike Westbrook 'Tyger' (RCA)

Mike Westbrook 'Live' (Cadillac)

And possibly hundreds more...

Ahh...yes...

My list is long, but being the huge Billy Cobham fan that I am, I don't know why the fine folks who own the rights to "Observations & Reflections" c. 1982 and "Smokin" c.1983. can't release these on CD. Both were released under the Elektra/Musician label and they feature excellent solo work from Billy as well as Dean Brown on guitar.

I've tried burning them, but it's just not the same. If anyone knows these are available, please email me!

I see from Allmusic that Phil Woods' "Live at the Showboat" has been releases on cd just this year, missing 4 cuts though, including one that clocks in at over 20 minutes.

Well, a little poking around shows that it was issued a couple of years ago. Amazon shows an import due to be released in August that may have the all the cuts.

Anthony Braxton’s Arista albums (only Creative Orchestra Music and 3/4s of Montreux/Berlin were ever released on CD)

Anthony Braxton Live at Moers Festival (and all the other Ring/Moers releases)

Willem Breuker Live in Berlin (FMP)

And how about a widely-available release of Charles Mingus’ Live at Monterey? There’s a few other Mingus dates from the mid-1960s that have made little or no appearances in the digital era.

Agreed on the above--especially the Harriott and Wheeler. Free those puppies (all Harriott is good Harriott, methinks.).
