Me too, definitely — but it’ll depend on the price-point of the CD’s. And there’s no way I’m paying as much as the recent McCoy/JoeHen discovery, for just 38 minutes of Tina that’s new (but mostly alternates). I love Tina, but there are limits.

UPDATE: We now expect to be moved to Pittsburgh within a year (at most). I won’t transgress board norms, except to say current events here in DC are necessitating this sudden accelerated timeline. We still haven’t been to visit but once! (a dozen years ago, and that was just 4-5 days) — but we should have all the time in the world to go scope things out next month, the way things are looking. If we re-sign our pending lease, our deadline to get out of DC will be a little more than a year from now. We’re all but sure Pittsburgh will be a good choose for us — baring any unforeseen bumps in the road. New adventures await.

Have the bonus cuts (song titles) been mentioned anywhere yet? It would be a shame if they were download-only (and not on CD). I’d repurchase for that much extra music, if truly previously unreleased — or I’d sure be tempted!!

I was just kidding!! I almost even posted Bagses’ (or Bagses’s) instead!!

Bags’s Groove.

Used copy just spotted at Dusty. Not sure what they were selling new copies for, but this one is $12.99, fwiw. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/205402/Andrew-Hill:Beautiful-Day-Revisited

Especially for a band that lip syncs. Not even worth 10% of that, if you ask me, for that reason alone.

Ted Gioia’s West Coast Jazz, Modern Jazz in California 1945-1960 (U of C Press, 1992). Just stumbled a decent used copy over the weekend down in Richmond. Only a dozen pages in, and quite enjoying it! Definitely an area of jazz I’m a bit deficient in, beyond the scads of stuff I’ve absorbed reading posts around here for the last 20+ years.

Toe-tapping, to say the least!!

Yes, thanks!! — I would have never see this otherwise. This appears to be the original source, and there’s a bit more than just the quotes posted on the Hoffman forum. https://jazztimes.com/features/columns/steve-swallow-pete-la-roca/

Pennsylvania? Weren’t they in like Austria, iirc?

Reminds me, I’ve always wondered what all the sources were for the recordings used in the Eastwood film — and I’ve been curious to try and contrast the versions there with their re-recorded rhythm sections and such… with the originals (if any of those originals had ever been issued, or at least surfaced).

Full liners to the 2LP issue are visible here… https://www.discogs.com/release/10360001-Various-Cool-Europa-European-Progressive-Jazz-In-Germany-1959-63 Discogs notes say: Track A1 previously released on Francy Boland Ensemble; track C1 previously released on Bongo Jazzand C3 on Jazz Da Camera.

First Google hit, fwiw… https://sonoramarecords.bandcamp.com/album/cool-europa-european-progressive-jazz-in-germany-1959-63
