    Very cool. I am curious why the outliers in price -- is there a special edition of the Bird box?
  2. clifford_thornton
    agreed. Independent free jazz/improv labels aren't all boutique, though some certainly are.
  3. clifford_thornton
    Agreed -- big fan of his sessions with Masahiko Togashi too.

    What a life. RIP https://www.larepubliquedespyrenees.fr/societe/afp/le-musicien-michel-portal-figure-inclassable-du-jazz-contemporain-est-mort-a-90-ans-27889382.php I'll add that I was fortunate to interview him about 20 years ago, and he was funny and kind. I'm thankful for that experience.

    ooh, nice one. Originally issued by Hal Willner's "Shemp" label. Hal was a great guy.

    haven't dug that record out in years. There's another volume under Ron Pittner's name that is good as well (and not on CD).
  8. clifford_thornton
    yeah, Kaye was excellent. Bobby was a special cat and I was privileged to know him pretty well.

    Tyler's estate does indeed seem complicated!
  10. clifford_thornton
    oh, I understand now. The buyers are definitely going for 1950 or later, yeah.
  11. clifford_thornton
    I am not sure that is accurate...
  12. clifford_thornton
    Yes! Also, Dick van der Capellen (1919-2011) and Raoul Björkenheim (b. 1956).

    lovely album.
  15. clifford_thornton
    that's what I took it to mean -- high quality, smallish-run contemporary labels. If I were to add CDs, Nessa, Balance Point Acoustics, ugEXPLODE, Corbett vs. Dempsey, and Another Timbre would be up there as well. LPs, I forgot to add Open Mouth, Daksina, and Metaphon (these are not jazz).
