I really should check them out. I’ll be honest though I’ve only heard of Ayers and Bartz the rest of the performers are new to me.No 2 is available again at their bandcamp. Not sure how bad shipping is to since you are in the great North but at least the record is cheap at $25

I wonder how many people are like me. My first real exposure to Joao Gilberto was in 1997 when I got the CD for the lost highway soundtrack

I can't justify spending $400 or what ever it was. The set looks amazing. The shop owner was contemplating just taking the copy for himself. He said he was gonna leave it out for sale for 2 weeks and if no one bought he was gonna just take it home.

I've been listening to Roy Brooks The Free Slave, Ronnie Foster Two Headed Freap and Hancock's Sextant.A big one for me that kinda started the Jazz ball rolling that I can suggest but I’m sure you already know is Headhunters by Herbie Hancock. Survival of the fittest and Straight from the gate by The Headhunters are great as well. I also really like Donald Byrds 70s albums. Ethiopian Knights and Street Lady are probably my favourites. Bennie Maupin’s albums are all great as well. Hope this helps.

@scojo
That Black Widow cover alone sells me, I will be listening to that first. I also really enjoy what little Budd I've heard so I'll give that a listen as well.
