Claude Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 "For this completely revised ninth edition, Richard Cook and Brian Morton have reassessed each artist's entry, and updated the text to incorporate thousands of additional CDs." I wonder how much Richard Cook was involved in this revision, since he died in August 2007 and the previous edition came out in October 2006.

king ubu Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 "For this completely revised ninth edition, Richard Cook and Brian Morton have reassessed each artist's entry, and updated the text to incorporate thousands of additional CDs." I wonder how much Richard Cook was involved in this revision, since he died in August 2007 and the previous edition came out in October 2006. sounds like what they/"it" said about the previous 8th edition... still there were many goofs in there that were carried over from earlier editions. For instance the entry on Bunny Berigan... the text only takes in account two or three of five or six Chronological Classics releases and has wrong references, like "the second" disc but it's the fourth in the listing... that's the kind of good I'd expect to have been fixed if in fact someone reassessed each entry!

JohnS Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Arrived today. Too soon to see if it's been better edited this time but at least the Berigan entry King Ubu refers to appears to have been put right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one was carried on from at least the first edition I own (4th I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I had a quick skim through it in the shops last weekend. £35 is a pretty steep price though, even for us . I'm suprised though that some long OOP items are given reviews, Alan Shorter's 'Orgasm' for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasjidasji Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I had a quick peek at the first few pages in my local bookstore and noticed one new crown: John Abercrombie - The Third Quartet & a warm, glowing review of Muhal Richard Abrams' Vision Towards Essence album.

Not at my local Waterstones, where it was not on the racks and wasn't on order. After a ten minute search for the item, they ordered it for me. I'm starting to wish I'd just ordered the damn thing from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
