“Stan Getz in Stockholm” Verve cd Getz was possibly never prettier sounding than on this European jaunt. Nice music to watch gentle snowfall by.

yeah, both Peacock LPs on CBS from that period are really excellent. Voices has the edge.

I may want to buy this box set to replace the individual CD's. Fantastic records, the obscurity being Goin' Up Up Up!!! now playing What else can you say? Simply amazing music.

Yes Masabumi Kikuchi on piano, Hiroshi Marakumi on drums and Masahiko Togashi on drums. It’s an earlier seventies recording when Peacock lived in Japan. Highly recommended

It's a very different movie than "Bird," and I don't really see Eastwood's "hand" here.

Got it, it's the same documentary, just got confused that Clint did not "direct" the "movie" unlike "Bird"

Ir'a really Charlotte Zwerin's documentary, but Eastwood's company was involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelonious_Monk:_Straight,_No_Chaser

Looked at the venue website. In one place it says Monder & Speed. In another place it says Taborn & Potter. Wonder which it is. I'll have to check with the venue box office.

Degen's Calig LP is also the only album to feature Manfred Eicher's bass playing... although perhaps the Marion Brown session he's on will see proper release someday (we can hope). I have not heard this Trion LP but am interested to, because Thomas Cremer is a good drummer who I know from his work with A23H.

Confused. What movie is this? The Clint Eastwood documentary? Saw that too. Puts "Out to Lunch" into a historical perspective.

yeah, it had to be at least 10 years ago, probably more... $40 or so for that record was a steal, even then.

Never ever seen this album, Japanese sidemen? Details? One of my favorite Bossa Nova Records

Colossus Brass Band, Sing On

I added this list to Discogs for easier consumption: https://www.discogs.com/lists/NOW-JAZZ-NOW-Addendum-Global-Free-Jazz-Free-Improvisation-1981-2001/1663074 & that certainly wasn't me grabbing that LP! if only!

Looks like I have 101.5 (part of the Dolphy Acetate on Other Aspects) of the records listed in the book, plus a couple more as downloads. I sold a few that are on the list as well. Also, it looks like around 84 of Colin's list (need to catch up!) are filed. I tried to get the Zorn/Takayanagi duo from Dusty Groove once, cheap IIRC, but someone beat me to it. Maybe that was Colin! The reason given that the original book cut off in 1980 is that they didn't want to end up closely tied, personally, to any of the records included. I'd definitely read a good follow-up book covering 1980-now.

About the Spanish Civil War but a bit of a mess.

Yeah, quick rehearsal of my collection, I have about half of these. The other half I don't have, I'd be open to listening to...at a reasonable price.

Quick count, I think I own six of those, compared to 46 on the first list, FWIW. As for not mapping out post-1982 non avant-garde jazz, that may reflect the stultifying effect that Wynton Marsalis & Co. had on record labels and producers. Compare 80-90's BN to 60's BN for even the same artists who recorded for them in both eras (the prime example being those McCoy Tyner solo and duo albums in the later era).

Four inches and counting in the Cleveland 'burbs. Happen to be this German establishment? We frequent the hofbrauhaus quite frequently.

Max Roach Quartet Live in Amsterdam with Billy Harper Cecil Bridgewater and Reggie Workman. This music should be played loud!

Looks like we're up near six inches in Philly Western suburbs, and still coming down like crazy.
