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.
