December 29 Joe Lovano - 1952 Joe Lovano played at the Göttingen Jazz Festival on November 4, 2005, with the Harald Haerter Octet. He spontaneously replaced the ailing Michael Brecker for this gig only. I picked him up from the train station and bought the latest issue of Jazzpodium magazine with Sonny Rollins on the cover. I spent the whole day with him. The next day he flew back to the USA – unforgettable moments!

A windy warm front has blown in. We lost power for about ten minutes an hour ago. . . woke me up somehow. I tried to go back to sleep a few times but decided to do a little listening. Starting with Artemis “Arboresque” on Blue Note, their third release. Bass – Noriko Ueda Drums – Allison Miller Piano, Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes] – Renee Rosnes Tenor Saxophone – Nicole Glover Trumpet – Ingrid Jensen

Obscure 60's psychedelia

how this song slowly gets more swinging and intense…. So great

Craft's reissue of this album—as a 2-disc expanded edition—is really nice. I usually don't go in for "expanded" or "deluxe" editions, but this one (even if you're overly familiar with the music) can be played on repeat. It's a jazz album through and through, despite the ubiquity of "Linus & Lucy." And the second disc? It's not extraneous fluff. Guaraldi gets in a few extra choruses here and there, and some of it swings harder than the original takes.

Power To The People was one of the VERY first 4 jazz albums I ever owned — along with Mode For Joe (plus KOB & Nefertiti). But as much as I quickly grew to love all four — which I played endlessly for the first 2-3 months the I had them (the only jazz I owned at the time, the summer before my senior year in college)… …but much as I loved all four — I always thought Power To The People was just about THE coolest and hippest jazz album ever.

I would love the Rumproller t-shirt if it's not taken already..m

Herbie Hancock's solo on "Power To The People" has got to be one of the hippest electric piano solos ever committed to tape. It is insanely good. The whole album is a gift.

Thanks for the note. Heard of them for years - joined earlier this month.

I got mine. Nice selection, fun reading, with some rare records for chase collectors. A lot of european free jazz and also some japanese. I have 9 OG, 32 vinyl reissues and 18 CD reissues.

Hard to imagine it today, but ECM was really an "outsider" label in its earliest days. The availability that NMDS provided them was so crucial to their eventual success.

My favorite rock 'n' roll Christmas song. My dad used to call it "the hiccup song".

Great article. Thanks - edit to add that their discussion on distribution was really interesting as it was true insider info.

Ordered their recent release of previously unrecorded Eddie Sauter arrangements for the Red Norvo/Mildred Bailey band. Looking forward to it!
