thanks for clearing that up. I always thought it was a legit label and this confirms it.

me too.

it's not a PD label, and the justification for that record being out there is not "PD in Europe" (which would be relevant if it was a reissue of something issued before 1962) but rather that the tape is licensed from the radio station that recorded it (RBB in that case). I have no idea what the rules for releasing something like this are... but I would assume that they depend at least partly on the contract Getz signed with them in the 1960s... edit: also note how it says "distributed by SONY" on the backcover... not a PD label...

Thats one fancy PD label then. I see their vinyl releases go for 100+ euros sometimes.

My bank offers "rewards" on their credit card. My last two iPhones were bought using Apple gift cards that I "purchased" using these rewards. So basically, I've been getting a new iPhone every few years for free. If your credit card company has a rewards plan, check to see what gift cards they offer. Typically, you get "more bang for your buck" choosing gift cards over using them as a credit to your account.

I know Bev Getz was looking into this... I'm somewhat surprised it's still out there. PD cuts off at 1962 in the EU so 1966 is way outside of that so when the estate of a musician questions a release, that's usually all it takes to get it pulled.

Like it. Cool Spaces.

Still love this record up to this very moment.

Of course!! Love this one simply for Billy Higgins making a simple trap and snare sound like a huge drum kit!

@Niko This gets to me, "... my late dad had a lifelong struggle with the obscure language that's still commonly used in the humanities in Germany... I have many childhood memories of him complaining about the way people said things in faculty meetings etc... and, somehow, that preference for a simple and clear style in scientific writing has stayed with me... to the point where my tolerance for convoluted sentences and fancy words is pretty low... certainly far too low to appreciate Heidegger... " Niko, this story really upsets me too. I don't know where to start. I have had my fair share of pompous asshole professors acting like they know everything, and we students are a bunch of dolts and ninnys. No matter how hard I tried, I was never excepted into exclusive clubs that spoke fluent German (mine was still broken (I had to think) and could never roll my r's). I don't want to think Heidegger was one of them, but I am not German and even after taking four years of German plus two graduate years of German research, would want to believe Heidegger would not make fun of anybody because they're not fluent enough to speak nor write in his way, but now I think he does. If so, then Heidegger is a pompous asshole too and that pompous-ass tradition carried on and look how it affected your father is a complete shame. The idea Heidegger wrecked lives like that, your dad saying basically Heidegger set the bar, wow. And your Dad cites Heidegger as the reason. Agree. Wow! For what it's worth, I couldn't even translate page one of "What is a Thing." I made so many mistakes, all I could say was, I gave it my best. This account just paints a new picture of Heidegger for me. I have some reevaluating to do...

Wow Niko, thank you for sharing these amazing stories. How rare you get a glimpse into Heideggers's "real" classroom, which sounds like you dig him or you don't. This is rare and insightful. Wow!

Plus The Way Ahead of course 😍

Read it (the Oxford edition, if I recall, it was reprinted as a Harper Torch paperback, I don't have it handy, and he assisted in some of the translations) and it was a huge assist. Very much admire his contribution to the Hegelian canon.

Yes that sounds like what I am hearing too thanks Kevin. Now playing a collaboration between these two masters:

Sneaking a few listens in this cool morning before I have to go back to the dealership with my car. Starting off with the expanded Charles Mingus “The Carnegie Hall Concert–Deluxe Edition,” Rhino 2 cd set, disc 1–the newly released first part of the concert. The sound is so good! A reissue truly done right!
