What Classical Music Are You Listening To?
Hoppy T. Frog replied to StarThrower's topic in Classical Discussion
How is Rathaus, spiky and modern or more on the romantic side? -

New Jazz Festival Balver Hohle 11-CD Set
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Face of the Bass's topic in Recommendations
I got both of these, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the Czech jazz on 74-75. -
Bird's Eyes. How many volumes are there?
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Discography
Philology CDs seemed very hard to find in the US even they were still an active enterprise. -
No live concerts in Baltimore/Washington until some outdoor concerts by the Baltimore Symphony in June, to say farewell to Marin Alsop. But the BSO plans a full 2021-2022 season.

Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding make an appeal
Hoppy T. Frog replied to gvopedz's topic in Artists
The Kennedy Center is presenting it in the coming season, not sure if they have had a funding relationship. Sonic Portraits: Iphigenia Sonic Portraits tells the story of legendary women through song in brave theatrical stagings. Iphigenia, co-commissioned by the Kennedy Center, is a new operatic collaboration between two of the most visionary and daring musical voices of our time: 11-time Grammy Award®–winning composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and four-time Grammy Award®–winning bassist, composer, and vocalist esperanza spalding. Architect Frank Gehry, a luminary creative force of his generation, will create set designs for a production by award–winning theater and opera director Lileana Blain-Cruz that will play in the Eisenhower Theater December 10–12, 2021. Improvisation becomes a living metaphor for choice as compositional hierarchies are disrupted in Shorter and spalding’s adaptation of the Greek myth that is also an intervention into myth-making itself, and an intervention into opera as we know it. -
@AllenLoweScrew IP ownership, you should make these available!

For those contemplating the digital release, be aware when you buy downloads from New World you have to download each track individually tediously.

New previously unissued Horace Tapscott
Hoppy T. Frog replied to cliffpeterson's topic in New Releases
Wish I could get the vinyl only Tapscott stuff as downloads. -
Not sure why Dusty Groove never got copies, so I am ordering straight from the label. Glad to hear they seem to have no issue getting their CDs to the US.

Turn Me Loose, White Man...
Hoppy T. Frog replied to AllenLowe's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
I've listened to everything that Vol. 1 of the book covers-- can't wait to dive into the rest when Vol. 2 comes. -
I like the new Noriko Ogawa recording, she varies each repetition just a little so it doesn't get boring. 80 minutes flew by in fact.

Orchestras in the Pandemic era
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Mark Stryker's topic in Classical Discussion
Baltimore Symphony has been doing hour-long streaming concerts, with interesting off the beaten path repertoire. This is Marin Alsop's last year and it's such a kick in the gut to not be able to see live music. \https://www.offstage.bsomusic.org/en/bso-sessions -
Gilchrist has several archived concerts on demand from Baltimore venue An Die Musik. https://andiemusiklive.com/

Lester Bowie now has a mural in Frederick, Maryland: https://www.fredericknewspost.com/music-is-medicine-new-downtown-frederick-mural-honors-jazz-legend-and-native-son/article_73d0b50a-e545-564f-aaa8-5b7811b8fbd4.html

Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor (at least official releases).

Would have seen him in Maryland in the spring if not for COVID...

I've been on this all week. Too bad there's not more Ornette Coleman and Wadada Leo Smith (just excerpts). I'm really in love with the Braxton/Teitelbaum duet. There's three full Braxton concerts actually, the most of anyone. I was living in Minneapolis when many of the early 80s concerts happened, but alas, I wasn't very hip for a 9 year old.

Joseph Jarman's Black Case Volume I &II: Return from Exile
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Joe's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Bought it, haven't read it yet. I saw it had "Non-Cognitive aspects of the City" so definitely had to have it. -
Joseph Jarman's Black Case Volume I &II: Return from Exile
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Joe's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Any reviews? Is it essential? -
where's "jazz death"??? A travesty I tells you! (oh, not that Bowie)

Ellington Panorama Website gone black
Hoppy T. Frog replied to Chuck Nessa's topic in Miscellaneous Music
A true loss. I know a new generation needs to step up (I look around in embarrassment and shame)... -
