I’ve got Vol 2 and Vol 8-13 on vinyl a couple of which are 2 part sets, (Japan and Blue Note) I came in on Vol 8 Japan and have bought them all since then.

Great minds. I have the 2 Blue Note and Japan sets. Then I also have Vol 1, Vol 10 (Prestige) and Vol 11 (Steeplechase).

Really nice series, I enjoy the individual track liner notes and commentary on the albums they com from. I almost always end up listening to more from those albums as a result.
 
That Johnny Dyani track on the Steeplechase one is sensational! Was listening to that the other week, the last one Vol 13 NOW is a 2 part one as well, it’s well worth a listen as it’s Contemporary artists, lot we’re familiar with but heaps of new discoveries as well, they are probably still available I’d imagine.

Looks like I have 2, 8 Pt 2 (missing pt 1), 9 Pt 1 and 2, 10, 12 and 13 pt 2. Really bummed I missed out on the Islam one. I need to grab Steeplechase.

i still don't have a shipping notice yet haha. i'm starting to get a complex. all my orders seem to ship WAY behind most other people these days. Still waiting no Rhino for an order of in-stock items and it's almost been a month! meanwhile people who ordered after me have already gotten copies of those Rhino reissues...

Well if its any consolation I expect you will receive yours before me. The last few times I have had shipping relatively soon but then as an international it takes its sweet time actually getting to me.
 
Just heard Richard Davis died yesterday , What a talent. Bass player extraordinaire , Andrew Hill Eric Dolphy , Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Pharoah Sanders - many many Jazz albums as well as his stunning contribution to Van's Astral Weeks . A few solo albums and has been involved in Education for many years now. He was 93 , so he had a good innings. I was listening to Astral Weeks a couple of weeks ago , tuning into the Bass playing, what a ride.

No, I’ve got shows on 10, 14, 15 & 17 Nov which does feasibly mean I could make Collocutor on 16 but I’m not sure my old bones can do nearly a full week of events! Currently the 16th is reserved for a foot spa! Never seen them before though. I’ll keep thinking about this one because it’s a nice venue, just a typical, old spit and sawdust boozer on the end of Shaftesbury Avenue.
 
Foot Spa is a Great option. A man has to have a balance .;)

Really sad. I didn't think I was that familiar with his playing until I searched his name in my Discogs collection, he appears on loads of fantastic albums!
 
Yeah, He's not as well known as he should be, but a great player, he has done Classical as well with Leonard Bernstein etc, he turns up on lots of stuff, on the Resonance Eric Dolphy Box there are a couple of Duets he does with Dolphy that are part of the unreleased tracks , Plus he plays on Out To Lunch and Hill's Point Of Departure, Black Fire and as you have discovered so many great albums.
