Found this for $8 on ebay today:

Earl 'Fatha' Hines - The Father of Modern Jazz Piano (M.F. Distribution, 1977)
It's a five-LP set:
- 3 LPs - solo piano
- 2 LPs - quartet with Budd Johnson (ts); Bill Pemberton (b); Oliver Jackson (d)

Never heard any of this music. Looking forward to it!

Great set! I have that one too. 

[Chuck Nessa]

Much of it (if not all) was reissued on Black Lion and related labels, both cd and vinyl. Great stuff. Wish I had kept the box.

I really like the track "M.F. Blues."

Decided against the Chick Webb / Ella Fitzgerald Mosaic as I have never been much enarmoured by Ella's voice and vocal sytlistics and ordered the two Chick Webb CD's from HEP instead.

I found an excellent looking copy of this vinyl album for $1 at the library's sale today:

I don't think I've ever seen it on CD.

I think I saw a 2nd hand copy of that one on CD in London recently - signed by Sheila. Kicking myself for not pickimg it up !

So I cancelled my Amazon (pre-)order of the new Monk and Horace Tapscott's The Dark Tree to get these rare Threadgill beauties on CD instead:

 

The Henry Threadgill Sextet - When Was That? (About Time Recrords)

The Henry Threadgill Sextet - Just the Facts and Pass the Bucket (About Time Records)

Henry Threadgill - Too Much Sugar for a Dime (Axiom)

Does anyone know why Subject to Change was never released on cd?  It's not even available to download despite the fact that the two other About Time releases are.

I'm sure that the subject (ahem) came up either here or on the AAJ board when ATR used to post. I honestly can't remember what the reason was but i don't think it was particularly complicated; from memory he just hadn't done it at the time and the moment had passed. I think i suggested it in the 'future JHL reissue suggestions' thread. 

Kind of frustrating. Aside from the obscure Live at Koncepts and Pop Start the Tape Stop, Subject to Change is the only release under Threadgill's name that i don't have. 

Now purchasing:

On a bit of a Jimmy Giuffre kick at the moment, filling a few gaps (also at the expense of the new Monk which i will have to get at some point):

- The Music Man 

- The Western Suite

- Bremen & Stuttgart 1961 (Emanem reissue from last year)

I used to have a rip (from a library copy) of Stuttgart (Emphasis) way back in the day. It was my intro to Giuffre and revisiting it on Spotify recently brought it all back. The versions on the ECM reissue of Fusion and Thesis (1961) are excellent but they were never quite the same for me (always sounded like alternates to what i had first heard). Can't wait to have these performances back in my collection.

I went to a local store and got all of this for about $31 after tax.  Many of the albums were albums I've meant to check out for a while, and all but one album were $4 or less (the Green/Clark was $6).  Heck, the Baker album was the double-disc version and was only $3.  I can't believe my haul.

In the last few years I've begun to wonder about the sociocultural influences that shaped my early predilection for a (predominantly) racially homogenous universe of musical artists.  Challenging the established frontiers of those forces is yielding edifying dividends.
