  1. I can only guess based on the similar February show; seems reasonable to expect some overlap but no specifics given as of time of posting. Sorry for not posting this link earlier. I'm going to e-mail the contact given on the website, who ("Billy") I think could be Billy Martin. Will relay any reply. February event advertised in advance the following lineup: Peter Apfelbaum – conductor, tenor sax, piano / Ingrid Sertso – voice and poetry / Eric Mingus – voice and poetry / Chuck Ver Straeten – voice / Bill Horberg – flutes / Elsa Nilsson – flutes / Sylvain Leroux – Fula flute, qromatica / Steve Cohn – shakuhachi / Chris Pasin – trumpet / Marianne Osiel – oboe, english horn / Jessica Jones – tenor sax / Tony Jones – tenor sax / Stuart Leigh – guitar / Mike Gassman – guitar / Julia Haines – harp / Brittany Anjou – vibraphone, piano / Fred Lonberg- Holm – cello / Michael Bisio – bass / Ken Filiano – bass / Tani Tabbal – drums / Joakim Lartey – percussion Sunday, February 25 · 3 – 5pm EST The Shirt Factory 77 Cornell Street Unit #118 Kingston, NY 12401
  2. No upcoming weather excuses in the forecast (I missed a similar event in February), so...

    I'm kind of in the same boat. Have three albums. Enjoy "Short life of Barbara Monk" and "Silver is blue", but don't pull them off the shelf often. Liked "Memories of Vienna" on first hearing but considerably less on subsequent listens. Opinion subject to revision/reassessment, so I'll put those recordings in the queue.
  4. The classical forum I visit (on and off) is Good Music Guide, https://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php There's a group of (seemingly mostly) European posters who are harpsichord enthusiasts, and harpsichord interpretations generally get more focus than piano. They just alerted me to Suzuki's recent release of Die Kunst der Fuge on BIS, which I auditioned and am going to buy. There are plenty of harpsichord threads with dozens of pages of posts.
  5. Me too, ETA Monday here. Ditto. I was once deeply into the Koln Concert and La Scala albums, but tired after a certain number of listens and sold them. I still have a number of Jarrett releases, but they're not in "heavy rotation".
  6. RIP. Sad news, not sure how I missed the update but likely because didn't see it for a long time because I only have the "Music Discussion" bookmarked. I feared an illness or worse. Kind, knowledgeable and generous fellow, real asset to this online community.
  7. KD is the knee-jerk reaction choice, and it's hard to go against Booker Little. But I didn't vote b/c I'm not familiar with the Harden and Newman albums.
  8. My experience is the opposite. On the classical forum I visit, there is significantly more detailed discussion of (esp.) HIP harpsichord performances than piano equivalents. In fact, I've found the volume and diversity of commendable (and prolific) modern harpsichord artists so intimidating that I haven't investigated in depth.
  9. This just appeared. Don't know if it counts as jazz, maybe "jazz-rock". I'd be tempted, but have recently spent too much on other things. Blurb courtesy DG (which one might have guessed 😉 ) A landmark batch of work from the British jazz scene – the complete early run of recordings from Colosseum, maybe the greatest jazz-rock group of their time! The combo grew out of earlier work in the beat group generation – informed strongly by American jazz and R&B, but already on the forefront of the new prog generation – driven by the mighty drums of Jon Hiseman and topped with the sax and reed work of Dick Heckstall-Smith – both fantastic players who really gave the group their grounding! The lineup shifts a bit throughout this set, and maybe gets even better as the records go on – with later work from Chris Farlowe on vocals, whose soulful style is a perfect match to the groove-heavy sound of the group. Back in the days when we didn't like prog at all, and were more focused on jazz and funk, we still had a very soft spot for Colosseum – and it's no surprise that some of these records are always found in the collections of funk fanatics around the world. The 6CD set features the full albums Those About To Die Salute You, Valentyne Suite, Grass Is Greener, Daughter Of Time, and Colosseum Live – almost all of which are presented here with bonus tracks – alongside a full bonus CD of rare studio and live recordings too! There's also a huge booklet of notes – and this package is the comprehensive take on this legendary group.
  10. Yes, Sextet is very good despite rather distant sound quality due to source tapes. The Loft Years impresses me less despite high expectations, but I'll spin it again soon. Probably should pick up the Solo...Italy album but some other things took priority recently. In the Beginning is good if you can find it. Ted Daniel is on some recommendable "Andrew Cyrille's Maono" albums.
  11. I have that 2008 Porter CD and consider the sound pretty decent. Granted I'm not an audiophile, and Ted Daniel didn't record for big-budget labels so expectations have to be managed. I never heard the original release. It's an excellent album. I have quite a few Ted Daniel CDs. In my experience, the ones on Ujamaa with the black covers (I own the "Sextet" and "Loft Years" but not the solo release from Italy) have dodgy, even outright bad sound but others are OK.
  12. I'm slow to catch on as usual, just noticed this has been reissued and is on Dusty Groove's (USA) "Coming Soon" list Also, I finally ordered Keith Tippett's How Long This Time after fence-sitting and missing a couple of low-postage chances.
  13. This looks good, but I haven't heard it. Recently got and enjoy this (The Recursive Tree):
  14. R.I.P. I long ago considered listening to some of his operas (e.g. Lear, das Schloss, Medea) but never got around to it.😢
  15. This Renaissance polyphony disc is up for grabs, free USA postage. Mistaken purchase: I got it from BRO a few years ago but already had practically all the contents in a (very good) box set. https://www.discogs.com/release/13584233-Jacob-Obrecht-Capilla-Flamenca-Piffaro-Chansons-Songs-Motets https://www.amazon.com/OBRECHT-Chansons-Capilla-Flamenca-Piffaro/dp/B000EMT17C
