Yes, thanks. I thought that the Jimmy Lyons box set was out of print. That's been one I've been thinking about for years. Haven't placed an order yet, but I may to jump on this one.

Same here. I thought it was OOP but it may have been reprinted in 2011(?) If I jump on this I may add the Fred Anderson. Unsure of the second choice. While I'm deciding maybe the dollar will move up. :-) Need to avoid too much spending.

The Anders Gahnold 2CD set is drop-dead gorgeous! Wonderfully melodic, lyrical playing that has that edge to make it special. Seems Gahnold approached Dyani asking if he wanted to play in his band ... Dyani said: who's in it? ... uhm, just you so far ... something like that - so it ended up a trio with Dyani and his compatriot, drummer Gilbert Mathews. I really love that one a lot!

Also love the raggedy ragged "Free Jam" by Mongezi Feza with Bernt Rosengren's band:

Guess I'll go for a total of ten or so ... including the Gayle, several by Dennis González, the one by Alexandra Grimal and a few more.

Oh, and good to see some interest!

The Sunny Murray-Mark O'Leary album is great.

Don't see that in the list!

Realized later it's mp3 only. Worth a queue on Spotify at least!

[king ubu]

Oh, I see ... I never really looked at their DL only page.

[TedR]

Thanks ubu for the heads up on the sale. Ordered the Henry Grimes Trio and the Fred Anderson/Harrison Bankhead.

[king ubu]

ordered a whole bunch myself ... always a pleasure dealing with Stéphane!

Placed a last-minute order - the Jimmy Lyons set plus a couple from Dennis Gonzalez.

So sad I did not see this thread a couple of days ago and missed the sale

[peterintoronto]

I grabbed 10 discs from this sale. Thanks for the reminder, fellas! This isn't the first 2-for-1 sale they've held. I'm very grateful for the chance to get so much great music. Does Silkheart ever go on sale too?

I contacted Ayler and got a quick response that I could still take advantage of the sale. For the first time in quite a while I allowed myself to get caught up by the impulse and placed a somewhat larger order. There were a couple of items I had heard and had been thinking about picking up for a few years, and a few other things that just looked interesting.

The CDs I paid for:

Exuberance - Live at Vision Festival
Item# aylCD-009

Fred Anderson & Harrison Bankhead - The Great Vision Concert
Item# aylCD-052

Dennis Gonzalez - Cape of Storms
Item# aylCD-117

Dennis Gonzalez - Resurrection and Life
Item# aylCD-125

Dennis Gonzalez - Colorado at Clinton
Item# aylCD-133

Luis Lopes' Humanization 4tet - Electricity
Item# aylCD-113

Exploding Customer - Live at Tampere Jazz Happening
Item# aylCD-031

And the free items:

Per Henrik Wallin Trio - The Stockholm Tapes
Dennis Gonzalez - The Great Bydgoszcz Concert
Stone Quartet - Live at Vision Festival
Firehouse - Live at Glenn Miller Café
Exploding Customer - At Your Service
Jemeel Moondoc Trio - Live at Glenn Miller Café

[king ubu]

Great, glad you could still take advantage of the sale

[relyles]

Great, glad you could still take advantage of the sale

Yes. But I am going to be mad at you for a while for enabling my excessive spending.

In all seriousness I sent Ayler an email and received a very friendly response from Stephane. So count me as another endorser of the Ayler customer service!

[king ubu]

Stéphane is great to deal with, indeed!

I just got home and hey-ho, ordered very late Friday night, discussed in detail on Saturday, shipped on Monday, here was my package!

Just put the Gyldene Trion disc in the player - funny coincidence that the Kullhammar-thread was recently up again, too - since the days it was started I wanted to check out that guy's music some more, and now I'm listening to him tearing up "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" (how's that for a tune that's not been played to death?!)

I've been wondering if the Silkheart mailorder is still active.

Of course, I couldn't afford it either way, but I'm still curious.

[peterintoronto]

Yes, apparently Ayler handles the SIlkheart mail order. I just can't afford $25/disc for them, and one never sees them in the used bins.
