@Marchbanks I stumbled across this German 7" on Discogs today and have subsequently upgraded my coolness rating of Abdullah Ibrahim.

From 49 years ago…
The only time I’ve waited for an autograph at the stage door after a show. When he emerged, he was accompanied by Brian Case. I rather wish I’d asked for Brian’s too.
Good shout on Roscoe Mitchell, BTW! What a band - Charles, Keef, Abdullah, Ron and Roscoe. So cool they could freeze an ocean. Who needs a drummer?

In fact now I think I might have to add you to the Cool List too.

A few more significant price drops for records spoken of very highly here at the time of release.
Gil Evans: Great Jazz Classics
Donald Byrd: Half Note
As I've said before, I'm increasingly waiting for records I'd "quite like" to come down in price although, of these two, I did get the Byrd when it first came out.

Sonny Rollins - A Night At The Village Vanguard: The Complete Masters (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)
The Saxophone Colossus Sonny Rollins had already recorded three Blue Note studio dates for Alfred Lion—Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2, and Newk’s Time—by the time he walked down the stairs of the Village Vanguard on November 3, 1957 to record his first-ever live album, as well as the...

Vol.3 was only ever issued in Japan and vol.2 only ever issued on CD outside of Japan - so very nice to have it all together in one release.
As someone notes in the Insta comments, they've kept the original track order of vol.1-3 rather than reassemble the gig chronologically.

Interesting that Joe Harley states these are from never before used 7.5 ips tapes.
One suggestion is that Van Gelder recorded to 7.5 ips on his mobile rig then later dubbed to 15 ips in his studio adding reverb to create the master.

Sounds plausible. Ampex 600 7.5 ips.

That's interesting Gav. I wondered if he ran at 7.5 ips to get more recording time as it was a live session but it's just the maximum tape speed of the portable units he was using. Makes perfect sense.

The machine could only do 7.5 ips and used 7inch reels so he almost certainly transferred them to store on 10.5s according to the article but whether he added anything...

Not sure I will go at £73. CD looks interesting at £12 though.

To be honest I was expecting the damage to be higher than that. A pair of Classic Series titles comes in at nearly £60 delivered now

Interesting that only two of the tracks are listed as being from the afternoon set. Perhaps they only taped two tracks from that set.

That photo is enough to give Rudy honorary membership of the pfm Bow-Tie Wearer’s Club (non-economist branch.) Welcome to our ever-growing ranks, RVG. We now number four, I believe.

Perhaps the bow tie is simply a practical consideration. No one wants their necktie getting snagged in a tape spool just as Sonny launches into a one in a lifetime solo...

Amazon as I get free delivery with prime and as well as their pre order price is ridicules, but I have either missed a few there or gone too early and so not got the cheapest eventual price. I get free delivery with prime and there is no hassle about returns. In fairness have bought a few box sets from the Decca store, but they have all been fine so haven’t had to return.A three record Sonny Rollins Live at the Village Vanguard has been announced for March.

This sounds essential given the tapes have been pretty much unused and so should be unchanged better than my pretty good early single LP so I won’t wait on this either, but just waiting to see what Amazons opening price is. f high I will buy elsewhere.
