Sad news.

as heard in this set:

Today I received an e-mail announcing a special AGM from DESS to discuss dissolution of DESS. Reason being the dwindling number of members. 136 at time of writing. The rising cost of producing the DESS bulletin. The rising age of those in charge and the failure to attract younger members. The bylaws stipulate that the decision of the dissolution must be taken at two consecutive AGM's. The first will be 24 November 2025 and the second no later than 31 March 2026. A sad but inevitable decision. I'll be voting for dissolution not because I want it to end but because it is the only reasonable thing to do. The mail ends with quoting a Duke Ellington song “If you were in my place, what would you do?”

I just got back from a long trip (so away from the Board). Like others I was a bit confused when I saw it on the Jazz Messengers site, then very pleased to see it was real and preordered it immediately. I've loved that band for years, especially the Bobcats small group, and I'll be very excited to get the set! Now, if only they'd go ahead and do that Hampton 40s box!

Finally finished it. I was really looking forward to it, but I can't recommend it. For me it was too much "Then he did this, and then he did that." That said, I learned a few things about both the Lost Quintet and Circle.

Beethoven - String Quartet Op.130

Neo- somethingoranother. HBO theme song? https://youtube.com/@houseofmedard?si=7dy2F0S0KnlPHfJD They're Hungarian, actually!

👍

Yes!

and

Not my thing but I would not call this jazz. Music is blues, vocals are soul-ish.

I'll be interested to read this, although I suppose it'll be a recap of some of what I've read in Mats's auction catalogs/Discaholic Corner, Thurston's Grand Royal Magazine article, etc.

Johannes Enders - Endorphin (Enja)

Eddie Palmieri:

Nicely recorded as well.

Last night, Shelley Carrol/Peter Rioux/Andrew Griffith/James Driscoll at the Balcony Club.
