Big Wheel Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I guess they heard my whining because there's a ton of previously unlisted stuff there. 1. How good is the Bley? 2. Which of the Braxtons do I need? 3. Same for the Steve Lacy-which do I need? Only have some of Lacy's 50s/early 60s work. 4. How good is the Roach/Shepp?

Performance 1979, Charlie Parker, Koln 3. The Way, Songs 4. Way good Gotta put in a good word for the McPhee/Plimley/Ellis, Cecil Taylor, Murray, Carter-Bradford, Nagl/Big 4, and of course The Dark Tree.I also like the Graewe, Konrad, Wallin and Oliveros titles.

Big Wheel Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the tips - I already have that Shepp and the Nagl, as well as a few others. The Tapscott, Murray, Roach/Braxton, and Taylor are in my cart. Trying to winnow down the rest. Edited July 25, 2012 by Big Wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I really like the Braxton Performance (Quartet) 1979. I own that with the older cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Does anyone here have an opinion of John Law's Abacus, with Jon Lloyd, Tim Wells and Gerry Hemingway? The samples sound interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Does anyone here have an opinion of John Law's Abacus, with Jon Lloyd, Tim Wells and Gerry Hemingway? The samples sound interesting. I have this one and think it's very good to excellent - a pleasant surprise as I'd never heard of Law or Lloyd before picking it up. More "inside" and modal than what I usually associate with Hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 John Lloyd's Four and Five on Hatology is also quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) They renewed the sale, now expiring Sept. 20. Not exactly the same titles (I didn't notice Braxton's Charlie Parker Project this go-round), but a lot of overlap afaict. Edited September 14, 2012 by T.D.

colinmce Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 On again with most titles either $10.97 or $4.97. I hope there's new stuff coming. Things have certainly slowed to a crawl over in Basel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
