Old Stuff is the fourth album by the New York Art Quartet. It was recorded live at the Montmartre Jazzhus and Concert Hall of the Radio House, Danish Broadcasting on October 14 and 24, 1965, and was released in 2010 by Cuneiform Records. It features John Tchicai on alto saxophone, Roswell Rudd on trombone, Finn Von Eyben on bass, and Louis Moholo on drums.[1][2]

In the fall of 1965, Tchicai lined up dates for the NYAQ in Copenhagen, Gothenburg (Sweden), Hilversum (Holland), and Amsterdam (where they opened for Ornette Coleman's group), with Von Eyben and Moholo substituting for Reggie Workman and Milford Graves, who were unavailable.[3] Recordings from two of the Copenhagen dates appear on Old Stuff.[1] An unauthorized recording of music from Hilversum was released on the French label America Records in 1971 with the title Roswell Rudd.[4][5]
