With all the gold Nimbus dug up for their recent Pan Afrikan Arkestra set one would think there might be more in the archives to make one hell of a Mosaic boxed set with only unreleased stuff. It would be great, with a nice booklet 😍
I think this is the case with some of the OJCs. Also got a few Soul Note and Black Saint albums that were actually CDRs. I did not return them as I saw it as my own (misreading) mistake but was pretty annoyed anyway
It was pressed by King records and sounds amazing. You must have the original India Navigation Clifford? Does that one also has that sound like you’re there in the studios? The interaction between Chico and Cecil is lovely
So I was spinning 5X Monk 5X Lacy by Steve Lacy and Evan Parkers 'Snake Decides' and saw Joe McPhee's Tenor up for a reissue. It's probably an acquired taste and I have to be in a certain mood for it but if I am: I really like a solo saxophone record. My question to you guys: how do you feel about solo saxophone records and If you had to name that one favorite, what would it be. I'd give the ones who have difficulties picking one an expansion to a maximum of three records Thread is nog intented as a name as much as you know but trying to find out which ones everyone would pick if they really had to choose.
For some inspiration the Free Jazz Collective made a nice list

I like Green. Not all of it, but quite some. Not so much into the organ stuff. My favorites would be Matador, Idle Moments, Feelin' the Spirit and Alive. I like his contributions as a sideman as well.
