    I need to get to that Barry Guy stuff. What I've heard has been wonderful.

    I've amassed a decent amount and it's always delivered. I thought of posting Guy, but don't consider myself enough of a "big band expert" to pontificate. I'll also second the ICP and Moondoc recs above. Probably some William Parker releases qualify, but he makes so many records that I can't keep them straight in my head. 😮

  9. Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

    in Mosaic and other box sets...

    "Shades" likely the pick of these albums ....

    True. But they're all pretty good. Andrew Hill didn't make bad records. 🙂

    Same here .... btw interesting, that (all) Soul Note/Black Saint reissues never featured bonus material 🤔 ....

    That box set series had some flaws (illegible art reproductions, no bonus tracks, various choices of material were head-scratching [under name of different leader] or redundant), but I still purchased a lot of them! I think the parent label (Cam Jazz) is no longer in business, and have no idea what will happen to the catalogue.

    Per discogs, there seem to be quite a few copies (mostly LP) in the UK, but rare (in any medium) Stateside.

    Looks like an "audiophile" vinyl special at this point. Will wait and see if anything else surfaces.

    Page isn't loading for me right now.

    Greatly enjoyed track 1, a tune I recognize (but can't name offhand) and that's on several recordings I own. No idea of the performers, but deserves research. The next two tunes made less of an impression. Can't say more until the page comes back.

    These Takagi boxes have been marked down to more reasonable levels at DG:

    I got the first one (at higher price) some time ago and enjoy/recommend it. Passed (and continue to) on the second (mostly duets) because the 3d disc of 3 is solo bass.

  23. My LP of McCoy Tyner's "Extensions" Has Evaporated

    in The Vinyl Frontier

    Posted

    So I took Extensions into the studio, where I have my Nitty Gritty cleaner set up.  I was about to clean it, when I decided that instead, I wanted to hear Tyner's Sama Layuca.

    That's the key moment. Have to rack your brains re. what you did just then.

    My own tendency would be to set the album aside in some random place that seemed clever at the time (maybe due to thinking about playing it after Sama Layuca), and then forget about it. Probably some side table or shelf fairly close to either the Nitty Gritty or the turntable.
