Degen's Calig LP is also the only album to feature Manfred Eicher's bass playing... although perhaps the Marion Brown session he's on will see proper release someday (we can hope). I have not heard this Trion LP but am interested to, because Thomas Cremer is a good drummer who I know from his work with A23H.

yeah, it had to be at least 10 years ago, probably more... $40 or so for that record was a steal, even then.

Looks like I have 101.5 (part of the Dolphy Acetate on Other Aspects) of the records listed in the book, plus a couple more as downloads. I sold a few that are on the list as well. Also, it looks like around 84 of Colin's list (need to catch up!) are filed. I tried to get the Zorn/Takayanagi duo from Dusty Groove once, cheap IIRC, but someone beat me to it. Maybe that was Colin! The reason given that the original book cut off in 1980 is that they didn't want to end up closely tied, personally, to any of the records included. I'd definitely read a good follow-up book covering 1980-now.

I interviewed Simmons around 20 years ago, and he definitely had a bleak go of things. No musicians made anything out of their ESP deals at the time. My understanding is that the label is trying to right some previous wrongs, but there's still almost no money in this business.

Discogs and RYM won't be around forever! Also, the verbiage is entertaining.

Yes, Tyler recorded for ESP, twice as a leader and twice as a sideman. He eventually settled in France, after touring Europe a bunch. Logan recorded twice as a leader for ESP as well as one sideman date (not to mention a sideman turn for Impulse) though as far as I know he did not tour Europe. A third ESP remains unissued.

having seen photos/footage of the scene, there's a copy of Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" among the scattered household items (after the fact). It is a chilling setting.

I think that this Voyage from Jericho reissue will do well, and it might be worth mentioning this cassette material to the proprietor of Frederiksberg. Tyler has also been strangely absent from the NoBusiness CD "loft archive" series and perhaps they'd like to know about some of these recordings.

Nice one indeed. Bjarne Boman is the only one I was not super familiar with upon buying the reissue. There's a really strong version of Strandberg's tune "Cirrus" on the Red Mitchell album Communication, on which Bertil also plays (though I'm unsure if the drummer on that record, Göran, is Bertil's brother... presumably?).

I'd be interested in the Coltrane. I'm sure a bunch of us would.

Yeah, they screwed up and need to either give you a prepaid shipping label or eat the mistake. And you can sell us the duplicates !

Yes! Also Steve Potts (b. 1943) and Kevin Norton (b. 1956).

could just be some friend of Coltrane's named Lonnie, rather than a musician (although Levister is an interesting possibility). Who knows. Love the tune regardless.

yeah, the original of that Rickey Kelly is fairly hard to find.

yes! also Jeff "Tain" Watts (b. 1960) and Tatsuya Nakatani (b. 1970).

great set, and now fairly hard to find...

that Al Francis record is excellent

yes, the Lacys & Waldrons... while there are recordings by each I would pull out before those, they're still really good and Seagulls is super.

interesting band. Never saw that record (knowingly) before. The Coryells I have are on Flying Dutchman and Vanguard, and I enjoy them to varying degrees (good to very good). Never saw him live, unfortunately.

yeah, this is the Hemphill Black Saint I go to. And that Sarbib is good also; he's generally pretty excellent. in 2008 I wasn't as caught up on the Muhal Black Saint albums, but have since bought all except the duo with Amina, which for some reason is kind of hard to find. Can't recall the last time I saw one in the bins in a record store. The documentation of AACM, BAG, and artists in the Taylor orbit like Cyrille & Lyons (and Dixon, if you want to characterize Bill's work as such) in the 80s and 90s is probably where Bonandrini's curatorial strength really lay. I also think the George Russell dates released or re-released by Soul Note are pretty excellent.

Ah, too bad.

Really hard to pick and rank ten from the vast catalog of both labels. I haven't been truly disappointed by any of those that I've owned... well, the Waldon/Silvano duo isn't the best Mal and the Art Davis is a little underwhelming, but one could do worse than listening to either record.

ha! busy website design, didn't notice those. They're way at the bottom, when it might've made more sense to put them at the top.

never used one. I'd be curious to hear samples as well though I have more than enough "stuff" already.
