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.

Most of the books I buy sell less than 2000 copies, so from that perspective I'm buying almost nothing, following the author's logic... Same for music btw

I would love a Vespa or Lamborghini, but until then, I'll have to be content with using clothespins for attaching baseball cards to my bike's front fork.

Continuing my Brahms run with this:

this should be good. Deciding between getting the CD or the LP...

I was told by my local retailer that the Rollins LP version was delayed three weeks.. perhaps there were some copies available on RSD2024.

what’s it going to take for a record label to make another Bennie Maupin album? These two were excellent - the guy has a track record!!!!

It's not that either. Some people want to say that it is because of the descending chord section, but they are different tunes.

Each show is archived for one magical week, before disappearing forever into the ether, unless an alien civilization picks up the broadcasts in thousands of years. (Radio waves theoretically travel indefinitely.) The show is called Surface Noise on www.wmnf.org, and she just won programmer of the year. Surface Noise primarily focuses on late-70s/early-80s punk and new wave, along with genres that led to this, such as 60s garage and glam, and stuff inspired by this. It also includes a segments titled "Your Weekly Todd" and "The Bowie Votive." Finally there is "The Cocktail Mix" in the last 15 minutes of the show, during which she may spin anything including jazz, standards, Latin, Brazilian, exotica, space age, spy, crime, French Pop, Moog, sitar, outer space. She sometimes does birthday tributes in these segments, hence my question for @GA Russell. But this week's cocktail mix will continue Earth Day recognition with a Brazilian aquatic theme, with Brazilian songs about frogs, ducks, fishermen, little boats, surfboards, and March waters. https://www.wmnf.org/events/surface-noise/ You can listen live on Saturdays 4pm - 6pm EST.

Piano Quintet in F Minor, Op.34 Yes, it's magnificent.

Yes, it is a gem of a set. If my memory is right I bought it in the LP version when it was on 'last chance' on the Mosaic site. Those were the days..
