All Activity

It didn't bother me that much. I just think it was stupid. Set and disc are not synonymous. And FWIW, why stop there if that's what they were doing? Why not call the first nights' discs 1A, 1B, 1C & 1D & the second nights' discs 2A, 2B, 2C & 2D? It would have made just as much sense.

It is so quiet and still here this morning, no distraction from great sound. Started with Grateful Dead “From the Mars Hotel Angel Share” second half 640×640 810 KB Followed by Jason Palmer “Rhyme and Reason” disc 2 Mark Turner–a great partner for Jason. 300×273 23.5 KB

October 4 Steve Swallow - 1940 Saw him in Göttingen with Carla Bley as duo November 13, 1993 and with John Scofield and Bill Stewart as trio November 3, 2006.

Symphonies Nos. 8&9

It's been out of print a long time.

LP one and two. That’s Berlin and Lorrach.

Mendelssohn

I've started reading the "Wishing on The Moon" biography by Clarke (will certainly not do it in one go, but anyway). And "The Song of the Hawk" will be next. I couldn't help wondering to what extent it can be used as the bio-discography that Medjuck suggests, but my first impression is that it's not quite that obvious. Unless you take the discussions of the sessions more as reviews. Which is not a bad thing because some of these actual bio-discographies (of which there are several in that book lot too) are a bit short on the "bio" side anyway.

MV 2661 (Japan 1979) - Stan Getz And Gerry Mulligan / Stan Getz And The Oscar Peterson Trio - rec 1957 (both sessions)

I'm surprised they're re-releasing it on CD. I don't think it's been OOP for very long. Seems like something that would be for vinyl collectors.

Some late night nostalgia for me

Think "Set 2a and Set 2b" and relax.

Really nice classical recital "When France meets America" tonight. French duet: Arthur Gautier (piano) and Emma Gergely (cello and mezzo-soprano) performing a mix of songs (some with cello) and piano/cello duets. Composers: Fauré, Massenet, Crumb, Debussy, Duparc, Ravel, Bolcom, Florence Price, Satie and Copland. Tomorrow: Indian (Hindustani) classical music, sitar duet with tabla.

I saw Allison Au and her quartet at Hirut, which is sort of a restaurant that turns into a jazz club at 8 pm. It's my first time, which is a bit ironic, given that it is the only club of its nature on the East Side of Toronto, but I only just found out about it.

Thanks for posting that link, Randy. AFAICT, it's the best available source of info on the enigmatic Dennis.

They should release the June 1969 Plugged Nickel recording with it as a bonus disc

At least they stopped with the stupid Disc 2A & Disc 2B stuff.

Tonight at The Stone Tomeka Reid, Ikue Mori & Tomas Fujiwara
