While we're fantasizing, I might as well lodge a request for the John Carter-Bobby Bradford Quartet disc that made up the *other* half of that 'West Coast Hot' reissue, this time complete (there was a track missing from the Carter session) and paired more appropriately with the rest of the material Carter and Bradford waxed for Flying Dutchman, like 'Self-Determination Music.' I have no inside scoop on this, but keep an eye on French BMG. Not only did they get Ornette's 'Friends and Neighbors' out a few years back, but I've recently seen nice looking digipak reissues of some of the Leon Thomas sessions from the same source. They show up regularly at Tower. While we're on the subject of the West Coast, I'd love to see at least a few more of the Arthur Blythe Columbia discs issued. Koch did 'Lennox Avenue Breakdown' and 'Illusions,' but that leaves several more before Blythe lost direction. Other things I'd like to see would include the complete Braxton on Arista (a perpetual rumor for Mosaic) and the Air albums from the same source. There's also a Bill Dixon album on RCA that's supposed to be very nice. Ornette's Impulse recordings, or at least 'Crisis,' are high on the list as well; Impluse, Verve or Harmolodic would certainly have done this one by now if it was in any way accessible to them, I'm certain. Not being a vinyl fetishist, I'd like a CD version of the rest of the Art Ensemble BYG discs and Sharrock's 'Monkey-Pocky-Boo.' I wouldn't mind if Atavistic decided to give us a version of 'Topography of the Lungs' by Derek Bailey, Even Parker and Han Bennink; the master tapes are lost or destroyed, but Corbett's done some nice stuff from LPs. Domestic versions of Ulmer's 'Black Rock' and 'Freelancing' would be welcome, as would Cecil's MPS recordings 'Live in the Black Forest' and 'Fly!Fly!Fly!Fly!Fly!' I'd be glad to hear some of the oddities from Eno's Obscure label, like the original versions of Gavin Bryars's 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' (with Derek Bailey in the group) and John Adams's (!) 'Common Tones in Simple Time,' as well. But hell, I'm delighted that we're getting as much as we get these days... I certainly can't keep up.

I'm sure there are still sealed copies of it floating around somewhere. Maybe we could also see a single CD reissue of Ornette! and, come to thinkl of it, Horace Tapscott's the Giant Is Sleeping (Flying Dutchman) [with *Black* Arthur Blythe] -- I know it was out for a quick minute coupled with a Bobby Bryant set on RCA/BMG/whatever -- but try to find it now.
