I like this obscure release because it includes one of my favorite Feldman pieces, I met Heine on the Rue Fürstenberg, which has rarely been recorded.

Surprise live performance from Springsteen last night at First Avenue in Minneapolis (the club where many of the performances in Prince's Purple Rain were performed):

The Attila Zoller Quartet - The Horizon Beyond (EmArcy, 1965) with Don Friedman, Barre Phillips, and Daniel Humair I think Jarrett's records with his "American Quartet" (including The Survivor's Suite) are the most interesting LPs he's made.

Free the Tiberi tapes!!! I know much of that music has circulated over the years, but I would love to have most or all of it pulled together, cleaned up, annotated, and put out in box-set form. That's my Coltrane holy grail. I'd also be happily on board for any expanded release of the Half Note recordings. Hear hear! Seconded! Etc!

It was hi acid album Not sure how "creepy" it is, whatever that means,?

It have done been gotten here it has!

Strong chance that a live "Om" sounds nothing like the album version right? Is it correct to say Trane hated how that session came out and didn't want it released while he was alive? That's what I thought I read a while back.

The best seats would have cost you $4.80! That's about $48 in 2026 dollars. A great bargain for that bill. But I have to say, the idea of listening to an extended version of the creepy "Om" by that entourage somewhat scares me, though I'd certainly be down for the 35 minute "My Favorite Things".

Titans Of The Tenor and they draw two alto players?

90 minutes northwest of Philly, just north of Lancaster. Yes, Pete B. is a great guy.

This has been my frustration. I asked it about a friend's 80s indie band who had a bit of a cult following. Everything it told me was a complete fabrication. It wasn't even like it had scraped bad information off the web - it just made a load of stuff up. On the other hand I've been using AI to find me relevant academic papers and write snippets of Python code and it's saved me days of work..

But... but... global warming is a hoax?

If I'd been in the neighbourhood I think I would have stumped up $2.50 for that bill.

Technically mine was the Don Cherry Complete BN Mosaics — all of two CD’s total!! But that was just to dip my toe in the pool with Mosaic, just to see what one of their sets even was like (and I’d never seen a jazz CD box set up close before, of any kind). But almost immediately after, I bought the Andrew Hill and Jackie McLean Mosaics (same order), and others not a year more later (I forget the chronology). So I really consider those Hill and McLean Mosaics as my first ‘real’ box sets.

That's FANTASTIC, Pim! Congrats on the new gear! I'm in the Rega club too. I have a "vintage" Planar 3 -- with a Dynavector 10X5 cartridge.

Tormé & Paich are a match made in heaven.

https://recordmecca.com/item-archives/john-coltrane-albert-ayler-sonny-rollins-1966-new-york-concert-handbill/ Carlos Ward and Pharoah were part of Trane's group too, along with the Aylers. Shepp might've sat in also, but I don't have my session index handy (at a café).

Congrats! That looks like an excellent table. For about ten years I've had a P3 with the Exact2 cartridge and the Groovetracer Reference sub-platter, counterweight and Delrin platter, and for the last two years the Neo2 motor controller and I use the newest top of the line Rega belt. Love the sound!

My first box set was the Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne and then the Smithsonian jazz one, all LP sets. My first two box sets, LP sets, were the Keith Jarrett "Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne" and the "Smithsonian Collection of Classic jazz." Soon after that I think were other LP sets, the Colunbia/Smithsonian Ellington sets, "1938,"1939," "1940" and "1941."

You are correct.

This one definitely doesn't disappoint!

Joel Ross "Gospel Music" Blue Note cd Just out yesterday. His releases never disappoint me.
