Any reviews? Is it essential?

where's "jazz death"??? A travesty I tells you! (oh, not that Bowie)

A true loss. I know a new generation needs to step up (I look around in embarrassment and shame)...

Some of them are available for streaming on Spotify!

Re: Furtwangler's 1942 Beethoven 9th, I know music transcends, etc. but I have a hard time with the idea of Germans singing "Alle Menschen Werden Bruder" in 1942 when their relatives and neighbors are committing genocide in their name. It's a sick joke, not uplifting. Here's my recommendation: (And I know FiDi served in the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. He probably saw, and may have participated in, some horrifying things, which makes this combination of composition and performance so much more the chilling.)

Loriod is my favorite, but I saw Steven Osborne perform it live, and was suitable moved. Some yahoo started clapping and hooting before even the last note died away. Osborne looked annoyed. The rest of the audience sat in silence for a good stretch before showing its appreciation.

Fantastic stuff, as always. Are you ever coming to America?

Vol. 22 is now available on Amazon Prime and for MP3 purchase...no sign of the CD but Amazon gets them eventually.

Yeah, it's like, who the hell is buying those "ambrose" CDs?

Ex-Military was my entree to Death Grips. You can (or could) download it for free on their website. You might like Dalek, I would highly recommend "From Filthy Tongue Of Gods and Griots" and the collaboration with Faust.

Act 1 of Siegfried reminds me a bit of Shut Up Little Man

So these seem to be delayed? At least according to Dusty Groove.

Thanks Margaret, I meant anyone from this board. I had seen that the Taylor/Oxley concert was sold out some time ago, as it should be. I live in Washington so couldn't get up to the Whitney because of work deadlines. Proud to say I took the train up about 10(?) years ago and saw nearly every set of the big band at Iridium. what a mind blowing experience, every night. Even when the third set one night made me miss the last train of the night and I basically wandered around Manhattan till 5 am.

So did anyone go to the Whitney retrospective?

I got it off discogs, took about a 8 days registered mail to get to america. Cheap shipping. Also got the Roscoe Mitchell set. Haven't listened to it yet, though.

Really? I get paralyzed by the expanse of music I want to listen to or watch on YouTube--there's so much to cram in before we die...

The first ever encounter between Anthony Braxton and Marilyn Crispell, a duet from 1977; a Don Cherry big band with his Codona mates; Lee Konitz doing Oleo; Frederick Rzewski and karl Berger duet; Baikida Carroll and Gerry Hemingway large groups; "world music" by people I am unfamiliar with (apart from Colin Walcott).

EVERYTHING ENDS NOTHING LASTS GOD IM DRUNK

he would just be following the example of Machaut...

Volume 2 has been shipped to Kickstarter backers. In the liner notes Jumma Sultan speaks of a Jimi Hendrix/ Sam Rivers collaboration in Woodstock (pre-CMS) that he has a tape of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I feel about this like Chewy feels about lost Crown sessions!

This is the weirdest thread ever on this board.

Are you pulling our legs? Sounds like Teachout was influenced by Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch1ti1VMzXU

Maybe Allen could correct me, or add some context, but apart from changing music a few times (as Miles Davis allegedly said about himself), Coleman may have been one of the last living links to the American minstrel show tradition. Had anyone interviewed him extensively on his time with "Silas Green From New Orleans?".

Nothing I can add would be adequate, but "Free Jazz" was my first jazz album purchase maybe 15 years ago and it did my head in (in a good way). So glad I saw him live at Carnegie Hall with Abby Lincoln about 10 years ago. Drove up to New York from Maryland just for that.

Goodness, I didn't know we had to solve this thing!
