Thanks, that's good to hear that your impressions are positive (despite the source). Mine is a paperback edition but hopefully the quality control will be maintained. I'm looking forward to its arrival along with the two Cherry albums they're releasing.
Eicher credits those Giuffre albums as his inspiration for founding ECM so I suspect that was the motivation. He reordered and remixed them for '1961'.
I'm not aware of any other reissues from other labels unless you include the Japo imprint
Thanks, I'm planning a trip there this week so will have a hunt. It did disappear from their website a while ago which I took to mean they'd sold out but you never know. That'll teach me to prevaricate.
For some reason Pavone was someone I latched onto really early in my Jazz listening and bought a fair number of his late 80s/early 90s albums. This is sad news.
Afterwards I discovered his earlier discography and also very much like the Alacra releases, Shodo especially.
Their previous Sanders release was LP/Download/streaming, LP sold out quickly so can't see they'll change a winning formula for this one
Thank you, yes, that's how I've been enjoying it
