  1. My copy arrived Friday (!), and I've been listening to it more or less non-stop since then.

    Indeed a wonderful record. I had (almost) forgotten how much I like John Young's playing. Reminds me I need to pull out those Von Freeman titles on Nessa again soon.

    Paul's assessment is right on -- if you don't have it yet, take a chance. Fantastic music.

  2. :tup

    I really like this one (Charlie Haden/Paul Motian/Geri Allen - Etudes):

    Their version of Ornette's "Lonely Woman" is, (to use an over-used but quite appropriate description), "hauntingly beautiful".

  3. I don't have the Lyons box yet, but it has been on my radar for a few years now.

    I was debating the best way to buy it here (US) -- go direct to Ayler records, Jazz Loft, wait for Amazon prices to come down... ???

    50 euros is about $70, and the Ayler records site says free shipping worldwide. Sounds like Ubu's advice is right on! :tup

  4. My apologies to GA Russell for temporarily derailing this thread.

    Yes, maybe that type of iconic moment doesn't happen anymore, or at least on any large scale like it did in 1964.

    I certainly don't understand it (I was born in 1966), and I'm sure I never will.

    But, my point is that moments like that still happen, still get inside heads, and are still remembered... maybe a much more splintered experience overall, but that door still opens.

    At least I hope it does. My 17-old daughter gives me reason to believe that's still true.

    If it doesn't, we're all screwed.

    How's that for hyperbole? :);)

  5. This was when dreams became something other than what you had when you fell asleep.

    JSngry, master of hyperbole.

    As if 1964 (or any time after that, up to, and including 2011) was the last time anyone had dreams that became something other...

    :rolleyes:

  6. A quick question regarding the new releases as compared to the 1967/68 Box Set:

    You mentioned earlier that there would eventually be four single discs and one double.

    Congliptious (single), Old/Quartet Sessions (double), and All The Numbers (double) seem to cover most of the box set, with the exception of "A to Ericka" and "Quintet" from Disc D.

    Is that correct? Can we expect (hope) to see one more single disc release?
