Does that include turning them over?

as someone with personal experience with Jug, it was good to read this again.

i think Pontiac had a prior claim.

First, I remember his smile. Not sure why.

Hah!

Michael Weiss has reported the news on FaceBook.

NYC, Jan 5-10

I certainly hope so. In addition to about 11 hours in the studio, both concerts were recorded.

Not the same from Braxton on down. Braxton provides a number of options for each project he thinks a label might like. Minions have to deal with this (provided by a friend): Dear xxxx,This is what I can do (this is what I usually do):1. You will supply the master. I shall produce your CD, promote and advertise.I send out over 200 CDs for promotion to radio stations, magazines, writers, archives, etc.2. I shall manufacture 1000 CDs. 200 will go for promotion, 50 pcs to distributors for promotion.I shall ship you 500 CDs - they are your property, do with them whatever you want -and pay shipping charges.3. You will pay me £ 1650 (pound sterling).4. You can register your music with any performing society but I shall be the publisherof the music with the potential public performance royalties with the split 75% to you and 25% to me.That means that if your music is played by a big and reputable radio-station you will receive75% of the royalties. 5. Within a year you will record and release another CD on the same conditions.That's practically all. If you are interested ask as many questions as you need.Best,Leo

Some information on the project - unfortunately the author thinks nessa is a local Canadian label - http://myscena.org/eric-champagne/roscoe-mitchell-sonic-states/

If I have time, I will check my stacks. Dang.

But, you are Clevelanders. :-)

Difficult for them to avoid but smart shopping of boxes and used single cds can work to your advantage. I actually spent $36 for a used cd to complete my Abrams collection. I bought the Bill Dixon box for 2 discs I didn't have. Maybe someone should initiate a "spare Black Saint / Soul Note cds" topic. I should add I am keeping a number of singles to compare with the mastering on the reissues. After the screw up on the Murray octet box, I'm not sure anyone is paying attention while making transfers.

used to have that on 2 RCA Red Seal lps, in a box. I had forgotten about it.

I will be diving into this puppy this evening..

Thanks.

Back to Black Saint and Soul Note. Any numerical listings of the vinyl on line? Used to be one on Mike Fitzgerald's site but it no longer works, like many links on that page.

To my surprise this Japanese reissue also contains the Khachaturian piano concerto with Lorin Hollander.
