Great news on many levels!

No doubt. That stuff melts your brain

R.I.P. WRTI (Temple University) is local to us, so spent hundreds of hours listening to him.

I do burn downloads to CD-R when I buy them, and print off artwork for CD case to store it in. I'm hoping for 'Reasons in Tonality',, 'Alkebu-Lan', 'Don't Look Back', 'Sense of Values' and 'The Waterbearers' (in roughly that order) on CD or at least download. I have been able to pick up the others I most want on CD over the past 35 years.

Good to hear, even if it is digital. Much better yet if CD's become available.

And might point some newish listeners to some outstanding music.

Looked through the discograpy and reading the article now. It's interesting, but this is a huge overstatement, seemingly to push the Henderson/Tyner 'Forces of Nature' release? "Between the death of Coltrane and the death of Morgan, there is a dearth of great material in the recorded canon." Blue Note, Prestige, and Milestone were cranking out great records between 1967-1972, and other labels like Atlantic were also putting out good jazz records (Charles Lloyd, Herbie Mann at his most adventurous, Roy Ayers, etc.) Columbia was releasing stunner after stunner by Miles Davis and had some other great albums by John Handy. And Capitol had Cannonball doing his thing. Plus a lot of beautiful music was being recorded in Japan during those years and ECM, Freedom, BYG-Actuel and other labels were active in Europe. Iverson seems to have an agenda, and seems to be intent on coloring reality to fit his agenda.

It's something with that particular thread. I can edit in this thread, but only "report" and "share" display in that thread. Not worth hunting down IMO since it is thread specific. I actually just rebooted within the hour to apply Win 11 updates.

I'm having same issue:

I hope individual albums are made avavailable, not just an anthology of selected tracks. That would be a lost opportunity. Tolliver is 82 years old, so this may be the last best opportunity for some of this iconic label to be presented.

Both are well worth having. The Fillmore East is essential, as she is solo on piano in 1971, and her voice is at its peak. The Bottom Line is a group effort from 1988, smaller scale than Seasons of Light, and functions well as a career retrospective. She remains in good voice.

I don't and won't, though I own the majority of what's on it. As far as I know, I own all of her "regular" issue (studio and live) CD's, so I can't justify the money for the delta. But count me as a lifelong big fan.

Bang is the one I longed for. I like those box sets.

RIP. They did good music in their golden era. Noel Paul Stookey is still alive at 87 and still married to his wife of 60+ years. Mary Travers passed several years ago.
