I've been listening to a lot of Derek Bailey recently, from his early solo pieces Incus TAPS, duo with Han Bennink, through to a lot of his work with other groups and musicians - Cecil Taylor, Evan Parker, the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, and so on. Almost all of it compelling, innovative and uncompromisingly different.
The proble is that he seems to be so prolific that it's difficult to know what is really worth putting on a priority 'must listen' list. And several of his recordings seem to be out of print - Aida, for example, which I would very much like to hear.
So ... what are your top five Derek Bailey recordings, and why? And if anyone knows of a source for a copy of Aida I would be very grateful.
