T.D.

I think I saw a related news story, a year or two ago(?) but forget the name of the town. Got a lot of media attention. 😁

I will try and remember. [Waldron-Lacy] But it won't arrive until next week. By then other posters will likely have shared impressions.

Drawn in by clickbait thread title. This is all "news" to me. But I'm proud to say that I had never heard of Chris Pratt before seeing this thread. 🤣

This is pretty good, though the subject matter will thin out the potential audience. Per Wiki: The Zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer, co-produced among the United Kingdom, the United States, and Poland. Loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis, the film focuses on the life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, who live with their family in a home in the "Zone of Interest" next to the concentration camp. Christian Friedel stars as Rudolf Höss alongside Sandra Hüller as Hedwig Höss.

Just bought the new Waldron/Lacy (with others) Mighty Warrior Live in Antwerp, and threw in the Contemporary Jazz Quintet's Location album (which looks interesting).

People keep track of them. 😉 In USA, scarce as hen's teeth. Surprisingly many in Europe. 2024 listings (all Wagner, incl Ring) : Europe US/Canada

Excellent, enjoy! I've seen 2 staged Rings, one in Bayreuth (Barenboim cond, Kupfer design) and the other in NYC (Levine cond, I dunno who designed). Used to have a VHS of the Boulez-Chéreau Ring, watched it quite a few times, but eventually ditched the player and donated the video.

Expected at DG "about May 15".

RIP. That Live Fillmore East (2 LP) album was one of the very first I purchased.

Google shows some appearances through mid-2023. I have a CD ("Recursive Tree" John Blum / David Murray / Chad Taylor on Relative Pitch) recorded 12/21/22.

Yeah, I'm being a little unfair. I will check reviews and feedback when Freeman's book is published. I'm more likely to purchase Young...Freeman probably the library route (if available) or perhaps Kindle.

There's another Creative Music Studio Improvisors Orchestra event in Kingston next Sunday 4/28 https://creativemusic.org/events/ Not quite as gaudy a lineup as the last one (3/31), but I enjoyed that one so much that I'm going on the 28th.

Intending to be there. And just announced today: Joe McPhee also at the Lace Mill (Kingston) 5/19. Music and spoken word w. McPhee, Fred Lonborg-Holm and Michael Bisio.

What felser said.
