Rumps Werton's instrumental Wurlitzer record of all Joy Division songs.

Speaking of John Norris, I came to Coda very near the end of it's run, but bought old back issues. I miss magazines like that.

Reading the article now and listeing to Saturday Nite in the Cosmos! Over chirstmas i listened to the entire Mosaic Select Blue Notes while I was sick in bed. Thanks for the reminder for me to tackle those Soul Note and Timeless records!

Not to humblebrag, but I laid out the big bucks so I don't have to stand at those places anymore (although they are not ideal, I remember that they were only folding chairs). Got fat and tired the last two years.

Meredith Monk and Sparks are the must-not-miss events for me. Anything with Andrew Cyrille, too. Have to make a lot of sacrifices, though. Diatom Ribbons is at the exact same time as a Meredith Monk performance though. I've somehow missed Kris Davis anytime she has played live in my vicinity. One year I was in New York and saw she was performing at the Stone. When I got there I was informed she was stuck in traffic or something and couldn't make it.

I travelled from DC to the Miller Theater in New York to see the Rivers/Holland/Altschul trio reunion in...2005? The concert that was released later by Pi. So awesome.

We all go to Mats Gustaffson's house? @david weiss has the address!

Got a streaming pass. Can't wait. Smith has had to cancel, though.

Oh shit, just seeing Allen's latest post. I only check this forum sporadically now, but Allen, your scholarship has been inspiring to me, and I've bought most, maybe all of your books and historical CD sets. The care and thought you put into your work is just mind-boggling.

Yeah, I enjoy Solti's 8th (very intense and driven), but the 8th is just not a symphony that I really care too much for. I've never liked Goethe's Faust Part 2 either (worst literary sequel ever!).

The fourth and ninth. Das Lied if you count that. Least favorite: The 8th, although live it's of course a lot of fun. I might want be a contrarian and also say the 10th completed by Cooke is in my top 5.

RIP, he's reached the final pause track.

I have no room for LPs, is there going to be a digital release? I wish someone would put on CD the entire Tapscott Sessions. Who's running Nimbus now that Tom Albach is dead?

Ticket bought!

The rock band Sparks is so far the only group confirmed for next year.

Not buying anything from this guy ever again.

Is the Jazz Composers' Orchestra on this list? I despaired of it ever seeing a legitimate CD release, gave up and bought (an admittedly pristine) 1980s Japanese LP reissue of it off of discogs.

Live from Harvard on April 30, 2021. Video Available for only two weeks.

True story, I read this topic as "pony Poindexter only fans".

How is Rathaus, spiky and modern or more on the romantic side?

Tonight in fact!

I got both of these, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the Czech jazz on 74-75.

Philology CDs seemed very hard to find in the US even they were still an active enterprise.

No live concerts in Baltimore/Washington until some outdoor concerts by the Baltimore Symphony in June, to say farewell to Marin Alsop. But the BSO plans a full 2021-2022 season.
