Thank you for posting.  I really like this band-besides the usual suspects, I really like Allan Reuss.

So glad you like it, Jim!

Mad Dogs on the Loose

disc 1 from the small formations recording of Barry Guy’s New Orchestra 

highlights here might be the 19 minute piece with the trio with Trevor Watts, Evan Parker & Agusti Fernandez 

or the trio of Guy with Johannes Bauer & Paul Lytton 

plus the other 3 discs are even better

[Bluesnik]

It's just the master takes, but these are enough for me.

With many players I’d say that’s true. But not Bird. You can never have enough.

Disc 2

[jlhoots]

Fats Waller JSP - 1940 -1943

Sides 5 & 6 - the Al Cohn arranged session and the quartet session with Horace Silver. "Four" was in my head yesterday while doing market shopping with my wife.

I was just thinking the sam thing.

Now spinning some Gene Ammons while checking the discographical details. I didn't expect completeness from this box, but it happens to include all the EmArcy sides that were missing in my collection. But all the early Jug CDs on Chess or Prestige omit some tracks.  Only the Chronoilogical Classics seem to be complete but need to be amended by Tom Archia and Sonny Stitt compilations. Oh well ...

I spent some quality time with this very issue just recently.  Your post has got me reaching for it again.  Thanks.

DKV Trio + Joe McPhee - 6 CD box set - 6 concerts from NOV & DEC 2017

The Fire Each Time

I've listenined to the first 2 discs (shows from France & Poland from 11/13 & 11/15/2017) and these shows are among the most exciting invigorating live jazz concerts one would ever want to hear. As usual with Not Two records the sound quality and production values are top of the heap.

Cds 6,7,and 8.(the quintets with Coltrane).  It's about time these got a spin.

 

[mjazzg]

Onto disc 4 of DKV & Joe McPhee's 'The Fire Each Time'

Some great music on this and the previous discs

[mikeweil]

From one of the many European PD labels. Sound is inferior to the previous reissues on Fantasy or OJC. As I must know its contents for the discography in the upcoming second edition of the Cal Tjader bio, I had to get me a copy. The four page booklet lists the tracks, but no personnel or recording dates, just the albums they are from. Seems like they mixed up the track sequence of the 10" Savoy LP. I cannot recommend this. For car playback only.

[Bluesnik]

Bought this from a fellow board member and am enjoying it right now (again). I'm still not through this 16 CD box. Am at CDs 7-8 now, with a fantastic appearance at The Five Spot with Johnny Griffin, Ahmed Abdul-Malik and Roy Haynes.
