now it's there... East Coasting is great, at least just with regards to the contributions of Shafi Hadi and Clarence Shaw i might like it even much better than Tijuana Moods; Hope is great, too; will take another 50 listens to find out whether the Rivers and the Hill are masterpieces or great but overrated records :)

and I just "ran into" an AbraxasEsp sale where I got Albert Ayler's Prophecy and New York Eye and Ear Control and Charles Tyler's "Eastern Man Alone"

East Coasting is one of the most beautiful Mingus records, in my opinion. The presence of Bill Evans makes it really special. I hope you got the Avenue Jazz/Rhino version with an alternate or two? You should try and find that version of the "Modern Jazz Symposium" album - it has additional tracks, including some fantastic Shafi Hadi playing!

Had this one on hold and decided to pull the trigger based upon your recomendation. Put "Modern Jazz Symposium" on hold as well!

Thanks!

:D Found in the mail, an unexpected package containing the Complete Fletcher Henderson with Louis Armstrong on Forte label - a new/sealed copy too! My greatest "score" of the past couple of years...

Roman Holiday:

Cookin' On The Roof

Matthew, I think Cookin' on the Roof is one of the unsung masterpieces of the 80s. I guess Roman Holliday was ten years too early with the swing revival.

I completely agree with you on Cookin' on the Roof. I first bought it as a cassette tape and played it to death. Then got the lp, but my turntable died, so that ended that. I just recently found out it's out on cd -- Japanese import, of course. Love the album to death, and I'm really looking forward to getting this cd and playing it loud! :party:
