That 2-disc set was edited out of the "complete" recordings I posted. These are all 4 nights of a set Stan and Kenny played just a couple months before Stan died. Jazz Times review
Guitarthing - Up & down. Not much info to be found on this. It's a jazz guitar duo from Switzerland and the main guy has played with Daniel Schläppi and Jorge Rossy. Pleasant.
Happy to pick up a couple of cheap used John Williams CDs at my local bookstore. Don't see him much this side of the pond. I had tickets to see him play in 1986 or 1987 and he hurt his finger and cancelled.
Sad to reconfirm after my latest round of nostalgia-driven googling that two albums of his that I had on cassette and played to destruction in the mid 80s have more or less disappeared from history. I have this idea that in the age of the internet everything should still be available, but apparently you can be "perhaps the most technically accomplished guitarist the world has seen" (Wikipedia, quoting a guitar historian) and still have whole swathes of your back catalogue lost in the sands of time.
Try searching for the John Williams, the names of the albums and blogspot and/or zip and/or download. I've managed to find some pretty obscure stuff that way.
I've enjoyed so many Constellation Tatsu releases and I noticed that some of their recent batches sold out, plus my 6 year old really likes tapes, so I decided to spring for the Summer Batch of tapes. It's really kind of cool to get tapes in the mail. Brings me back. Anyway this is really good; ambient new age-ish and available NYOP: https://ctatsu.bandcamp.com/album/just-roll
^^^ the above was really good; I think I undersold it a little. Just for point of reference, the Summer Batch included a tape by Hakobune, which I think some people here like...

ZK - Eddie's Salon. One of those more obscure things I managed to track down on the Internet.
@amclark2, I can't actually remember the names of the albums very clearly. I do know what they looked like and some of the tracks they had on them, And some of those tracks are on other albums. But yes, I should try some blog searching.
