Free jazz teaser…

[Tony L]

I don’t normally spam-up my shop on the forum, but given this collection is an obvious outlier I’ll mention its existence. I know we have a fair few fans of this stuff here who may not normally venture into the shop. Loads of obscure free jazz, some very scarce pressings, plus a few more mainstream titles and some modern classical/avant stuff. I’ll start listing it on Sunday (10-15 a week) so it will take a couple of months to get through it.

 

[Engels]

ohhh tempting...

 

[sideshowbob]

ooh

 

[guey]

Well, I've got a couple of those on show; so colour me interested.

 

[murphydog]

Some tempting items visible there Tony.

 

[RickyC6]

Oh hello

 

[poco a poco]

Interested if I can afford any.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

Um, note to self, check out shop regularly.

ICP 004? Big hole in my collection where that should be.

 

[Seanm]

Wow, jackpot.

 

[MUTTY1]

Can we have another striptease? Blindfold yourself and puck out another half dozen to lay out prone and available

Pretty much random handfuls, though I pulled the Hat Hut boxes and Tuba Trio stuff (which I want to hear myself!) deliberately to show there are some ‘sets’ or sequences. There are a few Blue Notes etc lurking in there too, but this is pretty typical as to what to expect. A mix of original and reissues, international issues etc, variable condition, but on the whole very decent. This will take me a long time to process, so don’t expect more than 10-15 a week, as much as anything as I want to listen and learn a bit myself in the process! Not often a collection like this lands, so I want to take that opportunity. I am however pretty much running on empty with regards to rock and pop, so the listing is likely to take quite the curve into the unknown for a while!

I think that LP in the centre might have been one of the last things Tony Marsh recorded. He passed away exactly a month after the gig.

 

[sideshowbob]

Play that David Murray LP immediately!

I remember buying the Muhal Richard Abrams LP because it only received a single star in the Penguin Guide, and I wanted to hear how someone like Abrams could have got it so wrong. He didn't, of course, but it isn't jazz nor free jazz by PG standards. Make of that what you will.

That copy of Blinks by Steve Lacy is excellent, if only for the cover. Highly recommended.

I don't know the Roscoe Mitchell, it looks good, so I'll be checking in on Sunday.

Do you mind me asking where they came from? A singular collection? Looks like someone knew their stuff.

 

[Tony L]

Yes, it is all one collection. I do buy full collections or sell on commission.

 

[Seanm]

Going to have to check out Tuba Trio now.

 

[Graham H]

For the curious:

watch

How is it looking for this Sunday? Do you accept wants list enquiries or is it strictly via PFM record shop?
