What's On Your Wish List?

[paul secor]

I'm in a place where I'm not much interested in picking up any new recordings - I've been spending time relistening to LPs and CDs that I've had for years and haven't listened to in a long time.

There are a couple of things that I may pick up - Bunk Johnson: King of the Blues and What We Live Fo(u)r - but, in general, I'm set for the time being. (I have to say that it feels amazing to honestly say that. And I'm sure my wife is happy.)

That said, I'm still interested in what recordings others have an interest in getting. Feel free to share your musical wants and needs.

I don't really buy anymore (no storage space) with some blue moon exceptions. That said, any recordings by my old friend and informal mentor Vernon Alley (mainly Trilon 78s) that I don't have would be purchased merrily.

[GA Russell]

One of these days I'm going to get All Music by Warne Marsh, and Asha by Lloyd McNeill.

[Bill B]

Joe Farrell -"Follow Your Heart"-CTi If is every released

Complete Erroll Garner-Columbia-not likely

Complete Wayne Shorter on Blue Note

Duke Ellington-"The Jaywalker"

Les McCann in New York

[Milestones]

I'd like to get "News for Lulu" for a price of under $30.

I thought this fine recording was recently reissued, no?

[jeffcrom]

The next previously unreleased Steve Lacy recording, whatever that may be. (I'm about to listen to the latest.)

And Paul, you need Bunk's King of the Blues. You really do.

[papsrus]

In the midst of some home renovations, so waiting for that to wind down and I can properly re-position my sound system, but I'm planning to treat myself to "The Verve/Phillips Dizzy Gillespie Small Group Sessions" (Mosaic) once the dust settles (literally).

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Nice idea, Paul.

I don't know how much you're willing to pay for Tony Oxley's "Baptised Traveller" but there's one going for less than £30 at Amazon UK here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Baptised-Traveller-Tony-Oxley-Quintet/dp/B0000257G8/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1364914783&sr=1-1

It's a great recording, BTW.

[Steve Reynolds]

I have a copy of Baptised Traveller somewhere....

finally I am very close to buying a CD rack or two for our new place that we moved in to last August - once it is in place, I would think I will pare down my current inventory a bit....and I've been picking up a few recordings over the past few weeks

first off, I will be finally placing an order with erstwhile (as it has been a while) for 3 or 4 of the newer releases - probably the Greg Kelley/Olivia Block, probably the Jerome Noethinger/Will Guthrie, anddefinately the Andrea Neumann/Bonnie Jones and MOST definately the 2 CD Jason Lescalleet recording with the great title, "Songs About Nothing"

have also picked up a Creedence recent retrospective to hear more of the classics in prime sound as well as the 2 CD Sugar set including both their LP and EP along with a live set.

from the more traditional jazz standpoint, I've picked up some old classics recently that were once in my possession including Hank Mobley's Roll Call, Joe Henderson's Inner Urge, and the 2 disc Miles with Sonny Rollins prestige set (1951 - 56) and I may continue with McCoy Tyner's The Real McCoy, and one of the Ornette Golden Circle trio recordings.

far as my meat and potatoes stuff - which is post modern, post whatever whatever free jazz/improv, I will SCOUR the table at the ICP show on the 13th and hopefully find the other second volume (set 2) of the live 2007.Available Jelly recording with Michael Moore, Eric Boeren, Tobius Delis, Wolter Wierbos, Ernst Glerum and Michael Vatcher. The one I have is just about the best thing I've bought in the past year - like I was at the show - the best Michael Vatcher I've heard on record - recorded in awesome ANTI-ECM sound.

then these ones on Emanem:

STEVENS/RUTHERFORD/PARKER/GUY "One Four and Two Twos" (1978-92)

SPONTANEOUS MUSIC ENSEMBLE "Frameworks" (1968/71/73)
JOHN STEVENS QUARTET "New Cool" (1992)

on PSI:

FOXES FOX "Live at the Vortex" (2006)

also:

Jon Irabagon - Foxy with Peter Brendler and Barry Altschul

Peter Evans Zebulon Trio

one of the Mostly Other People Do The Killing recordings

Edited April 2, 2013 by Steve Reynolds

[colinmce]

Irabagon's Foxy is so SO good.

The Combria Concert by MOPDTK on Clean Feed is very nice.

[Steve Reynolds]

well I'm actually been trying to go see MOPDTK but it is always on weeknights which are hard for me to make

I just ordered another Jon Irabagon trio disc (on Not Two records) but there is no Barry Altschul on that recording....

plus as I mentioned elsewhere - Jon is playing with Mark Helias and Barry Altschul on May 16th @ Cornelia Street - and even though it is a Thursday night, I am sure I will be there.....

[John L]

I'm still waiting for a good comprehensive collection of Count Basie at the Lincoln Hotel in 1944. Once I have that, I am pretty well set.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Well. one of my wish list is going to be reissued on the 15th in a 2 cd set

So I WILL be getting it in the next few weeks.

MG

[Steve Reynolds]

the other must for me will be the new Paul Motian re-issue via a box set of the early ECM recordings.

How long have you to wait?

Retirement.

How long have you to wait?

2 years and one term.

Long enough to see Gove's 'Forward to the '50s' agenda start to cause havoc. But I'll not be around to have to help put it all back together again.

The call of the North Cornish coast gets louder by the day.

There was a press officer in my old office who was several years older than me and who counted down the number of paydays before his retirement. I asked him when he started counting down and he said when he was sixteen

I won't get that bad. Still enjoy the job, especially the teaching part. But, like everywhere else, data, targets and accountability - blind faith that only the measurable is significant - has made things harder. Gove's 'vision' basically rips up everything my career has been about.

Until a few years back I feared the thought of retirement - I like the imposed structure of a working day. Now I'm looking forward to at. A rest and then perhaps some voluntary work a couple of days a week. Probably end up escorting school visits round English Heritage sites!!!

[Steve Reynolds]

slow day at work - I decided I need all the Jackie McLean Blue Notes I no longer own inluding Bluesnik, New Soil, Action, Jackie's Bag, Destination Out and Demon's Dance

plus then I would need Moncur's Evolution and Soem Other Stuff

and then....who knows what else....I used to have them all but some bad shit happened to me back in the day and I had to pare down my CD collection....

I even started looking them up where to buy and almost bought all of them until I stopped myself
