Discovered this morning:

It is too bad I was not old enough to be in the loop back then. All of these tunes had lead sheets deposited for copyright. I had a bunch of copyright deposits pulled in the 90s for many composers and they are now collected in boxes, accessible to researchers in the Music Division at the Library of Congress. It is not advertised on their website, however. This is the same source used for many of the unrecorded pieces that the Herbie Nichols Project premiered. Now, the Nichols family found more music in a trunk, and Ben Allison just recorded 6 of them. Bertrand.

I love Resonance and Zev but listening to those samples is very difficult - even on the live stuff someone has added horrible reverb; it also sounds terrible in the studio; I find it unlistenable, and the eq is awful.

Waxahatchee: Tigers Blood

Ken Peplowski: Unheard Bird

Bought a lot of books over the last decades, obviously more than I could read during said times .... nowadays working through my stock and buying much less (mostly exhibition catalogues and art/photography books) ....

I picked up the Bernie Worrell - Waves From the WOOniverse. It is excellent. Wasn’t sure it would be good how since it’s other artists finishing unfinished Bernie songs, but I am pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

It's up at both Band Camp and Amazon.

Counting Crows „Butter Miracle“ (BMG) 2021 ….

I wasn't in the market but I am pretty sure I saw copies of the Rollins here in Amsterdam the Monday after RSD

👍 Great multi CD box. Bought it recently

Cecil Taylor: It Is In The Brewing Luminous

And this is from the obituary on the BN website: Just before he passed, Alfred Lion, the founder of Blue Note, sent Cuscuna a steamer trunk holding all the photographs shot by Lion’s partner at the label, Frank Wolff. https://www.bluenote.com/spotlight/michael-cuscuna-1948-2024/

Today is Independent Bookstore Day. My wife has hit three so far and reports they are packed.

The Congregation – Record Collection ... 2015

w/ Bobby Bradford, Ravi Coltrane, John Hicks, Fred Hopkins & Victor Lewis

It's an "original" A-section with the Willow bridge.

We have lots of coffee table books on art, design, and architecture. So many that I sometimes get depressed because I don't look at them often enough. 😿

Do you know what it is?

Thanks for that. That would explain why my 'local' didn't have it on the day.
