Just sent some dough. Thanks Jim!

This became a recent obsession, but sold out! https://www.soufflecontinurecords.com/product/baikida-e-j-carroll-orange-fish-tears-art-edition-fflart088

Yes, glad they are doing on CD. The vinyl appeal for me is as much the full-size booklet that comes with it. I can no longer read the microscopic print in the CD booklets. Sh*t, I just became old!

Nice, this is way more interesting than the ump-teenth re-issue of Blue Train. Thank-you for pushing this Mark! Wow - for ideas, how about the Kenny Burrell "Blue Lights" sessions? I know they are jam sessions, but have really grown on me over the years. OTOH, there was a Classic Records issue some time ago. Kenny Dorham - the Round About Midnight live sessions. From left field - the two Booker Ervin sessions on Pacific Jazz (Booker 'n' Brass & Structurally Sound). Or the two Teddy Edwards side on Pacific Jazz (It's About Time & Sunset Eyes). Maybe the complete Three Blind Mice live sessions with Art Blakey. There is a boatload of Cannonball Adderley on Capitol - do they have access to that? Something interesting could surely be compiled. None of this comes anywhere close to approaching the stature of the Rollins of course. What a win!

On the Muse trail ... how about the complete Bill Hardman, Mickey Tucker and Junior Cook sessions. Lots of cross-pollination there. With the exception of the Cook on 32 Jazz., none of this has been digitized. Delightful stuff.

Nice - which Bud Powell if I may ask?

Yes, nice idea!

Yessir, that is a good one!! Have it on right now.

Neither of those guys, especially get the Dolphy guess though. Thanks for your comments. Yes, owned this myself for some time, maybe 20 years and always found it earnest and delightful! Glad I found a home for it in this BFT! Analysis makes sense. One clue - classic case of the local guy who never left home, same for his sidemen. No recollection of how I discovered this, maybe a review or from a board member, albeit some time ago if so! 😁

😂

@sidewinder - good guess, but it is not

I did not. Forgot about it and never followed up. That is an issue with Bandcamp - shipment of physical product is iffy.

😂

Their Bandcamp site has the aura of legitimacy, quite a selection. And they once had a tote and t-shirt (both sold out) 😄 The Jazz Messengers site has a photo with a hype sticker, which says remastered from the original tapes, includes photos from the date, etc. Still doesn't prove it is completely on the up and up.

Thanks - have both the physical incarnations in the house! Bought that Alternative LP many, many years ago in college. Always enjoyed it.

!! - when/where is this from? Thanks

That is quite a piece - very interesting. Thanks!

Some of these seem to be from the Classic Series as well as Tone Pets. I guess I did not realize Kevin Gray did the classics as well. Either way, since no bonus tracks on the vinyl, none here to preserve the remastering chain I suppose.

Looking forward to this!

We probably don’t have a lot of newbies here, but someone could assemble a good, eclectic collection here! I get streaming, but what to stream.

👍 The four I listen to regularly: Volume 1 (Blue Note) Now’s The Time (RCA) Standard Sonny Rollins (RCA) Silver City (best of Milestone comp) I checked out the two RCA’s based on Mark Stryker’s list on the board. I have come to adore them. Same adoration for Volume 1. Also spend a lot of time with +3.

Amazon showing a April 9th release date.

Yes, probably my favorite Rollins era. That RCA box is wonderful and I return to those sessions often. I have to say that I previously slept on this time period until enlightened by board members here!

Certainly he has received much critical acclaim. Based on that, I too bought several of his CDs. I am also older (62) but love and am open to all types of music. His music just doesn't engage with me.

Looking forward to a fun game - another cold one and should be an epic AFL 😄 battle!
