Rich Perry - So in Love (Steeplechase)

Joe Farnsworth “In What Direction are you Heading?” Smoke Sessions cd

Grateful Dead, “Enjoying the Ride” box set, Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, Oakland, CA (11/21/85) disc 1

Be careful though, Pim, Lacy is just as addictive as Waldron. Once you've really caught the bug, you'll want to hear everything. And the discography is massive, with some releases frustratingly difficult to find (not to mention the prices).

Joe Locke “4 Walls of Freedom” Sirocco Music cd Starting a cool morning off with this one, a quartet recording with Bob Berg, James Genus and Gary Novak from 2003.

CLEF Records MG C-692 - (Japan 1994) - Flip Philips " Swinging With Flip" - rec. 1952

💗 👍 😁 👍

Confront seems to be consistently good at the moment. I'm enjoying these https://confrontrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-duke-of-wellington https://confrontrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/pozna-appropriate-density https://confrontrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/clastic https://confrontrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/around-the-square-above-the-hill And one not from them https://nivuniconnu.bandcamp.com/album/embrace

So there were specific US-printed and equipped OJC covers? I bought lots of OJCs new throughout the later 80s and the 90s but cannot recall ANY single European-printed OJC cover (i.e. usually from Mikulski/ZYX in Germany in my case) or other printing distributed over here that had anything resembling an "OBI". There often was a much smaller sticker either on the shrink wrap or on the front of the cover itself, but it included only some sort of promo texts. And as it was easy to detach them without leaving marks they did not survive. However, in some cases the reissuers added the recording dates on the Prestige OJC reissues that did not have them originally (squeezing in a line of text in a font that usually differed from anything else on the back cover and that looked very much like an afterthought). Examples: OJC 054 (7031 - "Art Farmer Septet") and OJC 296 (7166 - "Workin'" / Miles Davis). I don't know, though, how many of these there were overall.

The family had some of their own copies of material, which has allowed some unissued sessions to be released. But it is not clear if they have anything left or if that has been completely mined. I am curious about some of the last sessions, like the one Pim mentioned.

Sound & Gravity Festival Interesting festival coming up next month. Very much in the Big Ears mold - small venues, multiple nights, etc. It's their first go-around so it's relatively small and MUCH cheaper, but many of the "usual suspects" you might see in Knoxville will be performing. I'm going to go to one night since I had planned to be in Chicago anyway.

Now the real work begins.

What is Andy Williams doing conducting Beethoven? Does he do Moon River Sonata on here?

For a good while that was the only place you could find the Prestige Quintet "Round Midnight" if you wanted to compare it with the omnipresent Columbia version.

Jane Bunnett's music always speaks to me with an core integrity that I find extremely rare in musicians who do the "culture-hopping" thing.

Schubert - Violin Sonatas D.574 D.934, D.384

Add Dog Star / a few years old but stunning. Goncalo Almeida & others. Opening 26 minute piece is genius. Vasco Trilla & Yedo Gibson are the real deal. Against Proper Objects / Michael Foster, Webb Crawford & Joey Sullivan Lifeline: Pat Thomas, Dominic Lash & Tony Orrell Tectonic Plates: John Butcher, Alan Niblock & Mark Sanders Hammer, Roll & Leaf: Sakina Abdou, Marta Warelis & Toma Gouband Do NOT miss the Sven Ake discs. These are all-timers. RIP.
