I think I'm going to have to skip this one. The Braxton list linked to the blog of a guy who went to several of those shows, and he thought the whole run would make for a fine single CD. Plus the band is a pickup group of unknown Italians (the blogger was unimpressed by the drummer).

The website indicates it is still available. 15 Euros shipped to the USA.

PM sent on this.

Was going to see Billy Bang in Baltimore tonight, but Interstate 70 is closed in both directions due to snow/ice.

A vote for the Vinny Golia, and the Joe Morris/Braxton box

Based on the return address, I think dadashampoo is a lady.

are the discounted booster cards still available? I want so many of the BS/SN catalog!

Has anyone noticed that all Warners-related albums seem to be gone?

Are you being serious, or are you doing a Thing? My money is on "a Thing".

I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Could the problem be with Canadian Customs?

Oh crap, after I placed an order with Tower, I found out it's owned by Caiman. Ugh.

String Trio of New York!

Their classical "New releases" page has only two albums!

Interesting mag. Could stand a bit more editing, though. "Nat Henthoff"?

$76? What's pidgin (or Yoruba) for "insult for everything he stood for"? Seriously, if you have $76 burning a hole in your pocket, just buy a few more of his records. Or better yet spend it a West African restaurant.

I love Fela with all my heart, but this kind of stuff gives me the heebie-jeebies. I also don't trust "Afrofunk" bands that are mostly Brooklyn honkeys either. What next "Huey Newton!" the musical?

Can we discuss how Don Ellis looks like Abe Lincoln?

WFMU is an independent station, once associated with the defunct Uppsala College in New Jersey. WFUV is the Fordham U station.

Your list was so long I saw a couple things I missed! PM sent on Evans ,Gil – Out of the Cool (Impulse) 20 bit remaster and Ellington "Intimacy of the Blues"

Guilt over consumption. A deep depressive feeling that the music won't make me happy. Also, other people's greasy fingerprints on the disc or LP.

PM sent on Jimmy Giuffre and Milford Graves

What's this? UCCM 1164 Rollins, Sonny(ts) / Road Show: Vol.1 2500

Going to see him at the end of September with Imani Winds. Anybody here know of this pairing, and how it is live?
