Yeah Billy is such a great player. And a very nice record!

I would buy it straight away

Thanks for noticing! But 44 euros.... don’t want to complain too much but that is a very high price

I really can’t imagine getting tears in my eyes with our national anthem or any other ‘patriotic’ songs....

Praise yourself lucky

I don’t know the relation between 1201 and Black Lion but 1201 looks like the Black Lion distributor in the US or something. Anyway I’ve got Wardell Gray’s One for Prez in 1201 and that release is fine. So is Archie Shepp’s Montreux Two. on the Ringer: that’s a freakin great record. But to me, most of Tollivers output is pure gold.

Joe Bonner - Impressions of Copenhagen so this ones out now too on Pure Pleasure. Line up is pretty unique and so sounds the sample on YT. Anyone who knows this record?

Funny to see how different peoples experiences could be. I never really liked that session and in my opinion it suffers from exactly that what here is spoken about. I do love Summit Conference but that session is really led by Workman as HutchFan noted.

I’ve got Hutcherson’s The Kicker and McLean’s It’s Time. Pre ordered Hutcherson’s Oblique. Great sound, nice packaging. But still: way overpriced.

Yeah I was a bit surprised as all of these guys are among my absolute favorites. But it really sounds more like a jamsession than a real album. It’s not bad at all, but did not meet up to my expectations. The session with Sonny Fortune is better in my opinion.

Pure Pleasure does not do cd’s so I would note count on it.

Yeah their shipping rates are very reasonable. But according to the guy working at Gotta Groove this will be only avaible trough their website. Well, we will see

That’s great news! Also issued as Baystate New Tolliver isn’t it? Yeah 40 bucks is overpriced of course but second hand alternatives will not be a lot cheaper and Pure Pleasure really does a good job remastering records. Never liked the 90’s Bellaphons from Germany. This one will be on my list. Oh Tollivers ‘In the Trenches’ is also on DG again up for release.... for the 4th time....

Lacy, CT... those are some pretty big discographies with lots of rare stuff!

30 dollars for shipping, how unfortunate. I'll pass.

Yup got that message also. So that means: also not trough Dusty Groove or Amazon?

Good idea! Some of their releases are avaible here but I’ve got a feeling the Al Fatihah release will be in small amounts, perhaps limited. Will email them.

Anyone an idea if this will be avaible in Europe or do I need to order from the label or any US store?

https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1125990552 how about this one? 16 euros including shipping is not unreasonable for a SteepleChase is it?

It’s on Dusty Groove!

Yeah I’ve got that one. It’s a great record indeed

Nah, me neither. Official stuff only. Next to Mal, I’ve got all Coltrane’s leader sessions and most of his stuff as a sideman. But I do not own the countless live bootlegs from the ‘60’s. I also have most of Abdullah Ibrahim’s records. All the Enja stuff, the African recordings and most of his latest work. Still need the Black Lion early stuff and some ‘70’s sessions on other labels.

Finishing my almost complete Mal Waldron discography I wondered: any boardmembers here who have collected a complete discography by an artist? Or anyone who has that as a goal? Anyone yet completed Duke Ellington’s?

Thanks for sharing that! Looks interesting

Yeah great choices!
