Hoppy T. Frog

I saw him at the 2024 Long Play festival in Brooklyn and immediately bought all the stuff I could find. It definitely, to me, is a cut above all of the usual 3rd generation watered-down minimalism and lazy "ambient" that mostly gets the art grants theese days for "new music".

Interresting-- I knew his papers, scores and archives are now at the Library of Congress.

I was lucky to ee hom once in Baltimore. RIP to the last of the Blue Notes--while I never knew them personally, an I'm just a fan, their collective and solo music always awakes positive feelings in me.

This will be my third year going, can't wait.

Still haven't gotten my last batch of CDs 😑

Removed by uploader, dang. I had it on my watchlist and never got around to it.

More from Huddersfield. The world premiere of Wadada Leo Smith's String Quartet #17: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00275cd

mine are now supposedly on the way

I contacted Nimbus too a couple days ago, haven't heard back. Galling to see Dusty Groove has them but not me

I'm not sure I ever got the last batch, I'll have to check.

I got the Centennial Box used several years ago, but sold it in my great collection purge to Da Bastids

Also, the 1974 Centennial box has a separate CD reissue by Sony: https://arkivmusic.com/products/ives-the-anniversary-edition-5-cd

since the pandemic I have discovered the magic of streaming European classical radio, especially France Musique (have already been into BBC Radio 3). Listening to "Bach du Dimanche" right now a weekly Sunday all-Bach program
