David Ayers Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 So I picked up three Frode Gjerstad titles from Rays. That was three out of a dozen or more, and that dozen did not include titles I already knew about, including Chuck's offering. So I checked on Gjerstad's website and did some counting. He released 25 CDs from 2010-2014 - five a year - and so far one this year. It seems everybody is releasing oceans of material but you just might never hear of it or see it. Case in point, I bought a John Butcher/Matthew Shipp CD on the Fataka label. Yes, the Fataka label, which I had never heard of, but which I am told is a popular label. All relative, I suspect. It was their second release, in an edition of 500, played at OTO but not the OTO label. In what sense is it a label? Only just, it seems, but - possibly - very select. But you know what, I like this world of numerous short-run, not-even-sure-that-is-really-a-label label things that are there and gone at the same time. Often vinyl only. Pick them up at gigs, stumble across them randomly in the racks in an actual store. But order them over the internet? Or download them? What would be the point of that? Quote

colinmce Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Also the convo about 70s Tyner reminded me I have yet to investigate this period so I started with the Mosaic Select, found at an impressively affordable price. Can't believe almost all of these are OOP now. Quote
JSngry Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 All the Jackie McLean Prestige CDs + Bird/Benedetti Mosaic, both long overdue. CD gappage filled. That's a lot of alto, but no, not a problem here, not with these. Quote
StarThrower Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Speaking of a lot of alto, I bought the Braxton and Oliver Lake Black Saint/Soul Note boxes. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Discovered the Alt. Country group Blackberry Smoke the other day, and picked up their album Whippoorwill. A truly fantastic outing. Kind of a cross between The Cash Brothers and Drive-by Truckers. One of my best discoveries in years. Quote
kh1958 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Yesterday I ordered, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Bird Calls; Rez Abassi, Intents and Purposes, and Noura Mint Seymali, Tzenni. Quote
xybert Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Ordered the Bud Powell Trio Roost album. Expected back in stock in 2-4 weeks from Amazon Japan, but i'm happy to wait. While i'm here i may as well fess up to all the Bud i've purchased over the last couple of months: At Massey Hall (trio) Strictly Powell Swingin' With Bud Time Waits (TABP Vol. 4) The Scene Changes (TABP Vol. 5) Portrait of Thelonious BP in Paris Inner Fires Paris Sessions Birdland 1953 (ESP) Stitt / Powell / Johnson Well, i really like it all. I've really enjoyed the post '53 stuff, hearing it more as 'different' rather than 'worse'. Maybe due to the fact that i've heard all of the above in a bit of a shamozzle... maybe as the years go buy it'll start to separate out more in to distinct 'good Bud/bad Bud'. It's already kind of happening, although while i can see some of the later stuff as being objectively not at that mind blowing early level, subjectively i still really enjoy it. Quote

mjazzg Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 that's a shame. Not worth keeping the two discs for such a low price as a hold over until the reissue (ha ha) ? Quote
erwbol Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 that's a shame. Not worth keeping the two discs for such a low price as a hold over until the reissue (ha ha) ? Haven't you heard? Hell is freezing over in the U.S.A. The Cold Hard Truth Quote
colinmce Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 that's a shame. Not worth keeping the two discs for such a low price as a hold over until the reissue (ha ha) ? Not to me. The price was just under $40. I'd rather invest "full price" in the full product. Quote
