This was part of my recent Princeton Record Exchange haul, in which I paid $2 for every album (along with 6/7 discs of a Trane box for $10).  I was pretty selective and could/should have bought more, but  they are all winners.  Bickert was well represented between this and two Rob McConnell albums.

Duke Ellington “The Lost Recordings–Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1969-1973”

Ellington’s piano playing in his later years is awesome to hear.

Marcos Amorim Trio “Portraits” Adventure Music cd

[Rabshakeh]

Anthony Braxton - Seven Compositions 1978

This is one of the Braxtons that I saw recently in the wild. Kicking myself for not getting it now, because it's good. From the more direct and visceral side of Braxton, similar to the Arista classics and the George Lewis group.

Charles Mingus “Mingus Moves” Atlantic cd

From this new box set

Discogs

Charlie Mingus - Changes: The Complete 1970s Atlantic Studio Recordings

 

I have the cd version. Mastering is very good.

Disc 1: Another $2 find.  In the likely event that I don't go the completist route by grabbing the JSP set and single-disc RCA compilation, I'd be happy owning the bulk of it with this set.

Same here. I bought the DVD-documentary since my wife was interested in seeing his live, but she also stated without any statement from me "not your kind of music or piano style".

Are they doing a fast version of Conception in Db ? 
I love that tune. Early this year a Spanish trumpet player was visiting Viena and sat in in the second set and called "Conception" and counted it of in a quite fast tempo. I was delighted to do it with him. First I was afraid of him because he had such a mad look and very strange stage behaviour, he was loaded with some harmful stuff and that scared me, but the playing was tops and he loved what I did too. 

This spring I had a very interesting discussion with Mr. Peter Pullman about the tune "Conception". He is sure that it was not George Shearing who composed it, but Bud Powell. Bud loved that tune too, and Mr. Pullman says that Al McKibbon who was working with him or/and Shearing at Birdland had told him that. He said that Shearing had stolen the idea from Bud. I can´t confirm it, but it´s so fitting for Bop musicians with those fine changes and you got some knowledge about improvising to master it.

I bought this last week, the day after seeing another Memphis great, George Coleman.  I remember seeing Harold Mabern and him telling a young pianist to check out Newborn.  This is only my second Newborn-led date and I have just one of his sideman albums, a great Howard McGhee session.  I have some catching up to do, as I'm really enjoying this one.
