Will they deduct the VAT for US customers?

As I recall, there was a score for Subtraction (primarily a composed piece). I don't remember the details of the notation, but it was on music paper.

As long as we're being nosy - might we ask which titles they were interested in?? Just curious... If memory still serves, they wanted to license the whole catalog.

You ignore commercial considerations.

Yeah, good goin' - congrats.

Didn't the History box miss a bunch of titles?

I declined the offer.

Claude is correct. The issue in question was a vinyl "sampler" called No Energy Crisis (Impulse 9267).

A few months ago someone from Water/etc. contacted me about licensing some of my titles. The person making the contact was Patrick Roques.

After inadvertantly fueling this thread, I thank Lonson for correctly stating my feelings about Tyrone. I think Larry Kart (after 30+ years I can't deal with Lawrence) stated my feelings/perspective on Henderson as well. You have to understand the times - when each performance seemed to reveal some new advancement towards more/new beauty. Silly as it sounds today, this was expected (under the current circumstances). After Judgment and Dialogue we felt betrayed by Bobby Hutcherson. Joe Henderson seemed another link in this chain. I remember being at a small party in Joseph Jarman's apartment ('66/'67) when he received a call saying the new Blue Notes were at Met Music (the hip store on the south side). We jumped in a car to retrieve Jackie McLean's Right Now. When we returned and threw the record on the turntable faces sagged. It was a wonderful JM date, but seemed to be a half step back. We were a tough audience.

I suggest you also pay attention to the Chicago series Chris did as well. Important stuff for all of us to digest and enjoy.

With their great catalog you need about 200 of them right away. You can buy the rest later.

Kevin was smearing something other than paint today.

The big diff is some make a career/reputation from these licks, nomatter how hip. Please note I did not charge anyone with this offense.

One of the high points, for me, is that Tyrone does NOT sound like Joe Henderson. Well that's a first impression, Chuck. Haven't been able to listen closely yet. BTW, what's wrong with Joe Henderson?? Conn, Kart and Jimbo all seem to think I dissed Joe Henderson. Please read again. I am not stupid enough to bring up misgivings about Joe in this house. I do think he's "over-revered" but am not interested in that fight.

I was bedridden at the time this cd was "put to bed" and failed to proof the traycard. The correct time for No. 2 is 12:02.

Hey, I'm a former "chubberoo" having lost 45 pounds in the last few months - just feelin' my oats. Hell, my current favorite pastime is standing at the entrance of Sam's Club, and snickering at all the overweight people. I also have a severe distaste for folks using electrical or gasoline powered devices to "save effort". Harshness can be "next to Godliness".

Looks like you could use a few hours working out with a rake to me. Uh, Chuck, I think you're talking about Johnny. He's the one who's the self-described "fat fuck". Nah, I saw your pic with B3-er and company. I was going by that. You must be one of those "never miss an opportunity to burn fossil fuels" guys. Jet skis, snowmobiles, leafblowers, etc. Scourge of the earth.

I had a cd program (MicroSOFT Automap Streets Plus) I use all the time. The cd became so scuffed the machine would not recognize it. I put it through the Skip Dr (the green and black thing) and though the surface was "hazy" it played like a charm. My computer is much more critical than my cd player.

Not a jazz date but I have recordings of violin sonatas with organ written by Heinrich Biber in the late 1600s. Great stuff.

One of the high points, for me, is that Tyrone does NOT sound like Joe Henderson.

The original Muse cover (one of their best) is a photo of an anonymous "dandy" crossing a street (not Clifford). This shot is obviously from an upper story or rooftop, with a telephoto lens.

Earl Hines, Pete Johnson, James P Johnson BN 78s. Great stuff. Not sure if it was on the old group or the early days of this board, but someone was searching for this title and I said I knew where a copy of this resided. The searchee contacted the store and they could not find it. Today I found it and bought it. If that person is here they can have it for the $10.47 I paid plus postage. Let me know.

I can offer some info about the Art Ensemble name. As stated earlier, Roscoe started calling his group the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble in late 1966. The first evidence is a concert flyer I have from a 12/3/66 concert at the Harper Theater. This group was the quartet with Phillip Wilson. Phillip left the group, we recorded without a drummer in '67 (under Lester's name - for contractual reasons) and in early '68 with Bob Crowder playing drums. This second record was billed as the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble. By October of '68 my job took me out of Chicago and I lost day-to-day contact with the guys. Sometime in very late '68 or early '69 Roscoe asked Jarman to join the group. Two members of Joseph's quartet had died (Christopher Gaddy and Charles Clark), and he was "adrift". Roscoe had already made the RM Art Ensemble a cooperative group, and when Joseph came aboard he dropped his name. This group had a fine following in Chicago, but they wanted to move on to bigger and better things - they had already tried NY but didn't think the fit was right. They left for Europe in the late spring of 1969, at the suggestion of Steve McCall. Steve was in Paris playing with Steve Lacy and Marion Brown.
