Best example I've seen yet of video-mapping. Great graphics with a narrative that moves it along very nicely. Projected on Prague's 600-year-old medieval Astronomical Clock There's a version here that's better quality, but larger in size, so it may be more difficult to see the full vertical of the building.

I liked Quartette Trés Bien - still do!

Sorry...Yes, Engels is a Dutch drummer - played with Getz, Zoot, some others that I can't recall now. The pianist was Cees Slinger who died 2 or 3 years ago and, I think, James Long on bass. ...was listening to the Knepper album "Cunningbird" that I got from Chuck about 30 years ago and it got me searching YouTube and up popped this little gem. "Leave of Absinthe" is on the album "1st Place" and Tabackin's "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" IIRC Rod

You don't mention what your audio codec is? YouTube recommends mp3.

Great that the nasty habit is gone. Clothes and hair always become "dated" but there's an undeniable coolness that comes thru that shouldn't be an embarrassment to Chris. Seen especially on the latest (2nd) excerpt, the pacing of the dialogue between him and Rashied is so laid-back and flowing that it's such a turnaround from the usual caffeine-laden selzogene-filled happy-talk that we're inundated with these days. I'll take this, fine thank you.

I thought that the sync problem might be due to differences in audio sample: 44.1 vs 48, but maybe it is another matter. Check here.

As I've said here many times: everything stopped around the house for me when these shows were originally aired - absolutely glued to the TV - often with an audio cassette recorder capturing whatever I could get. SOMEONE needs to get these on DVD and release them now! Monumental pieces of great art. I think my fondest memory was seeing Lonnie Liston Smith doing "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord" on this show. I remember Cecil McBee and, possibly, John Gilmore on this date as well. "Summun Bukmun Umyun" had been released a couple years prior and the thought of actually seeing "...House of the Lord" played on TV was a gift from the outerworlds for this kid. Rod

Stockhausen CDs are easy to order. You write a check in dollars. Yes, you have to add an exorbitant bank fee of $18 to your order, but otherwise it's quite easy.

Yeah, I thought of that, but wasn't sure if anyone would recognize it on it's own. another eyecatcher from the 70's:

Les Grandes Répétitions Last year, Aug 28, on a Friday night, you could sit on the roof of the Museum Ludwig in Köln and watch two of these fine Ferrari films being screened: the Stockhausen and the Taylor. Very exciting to finally see these get an official release. A bit hard to find someone who actually has it in stock, but that will change over the next few weeks, I'd think.

I'm not talking about physical ownership. We're talking about discovery. You just said that you had to get the Manne after hearing it first. This is how you "discovered" it - by hearing it first - not by standing in the store staring at the cover of Shelly sitting at his drums and wondering how good it was. You heard it first and then you decided to buy it. This is what today's technology makes possible for nearly every form of music out there instead of the one-off chance that you'll hear the "Haiti" box set on someone's stereo.

I'm not against discovering - that should be clear from my post. I would just rather discover music thru audible means than thru just purely physical ones. Yes, my choice, my desire, but this is what we do here on these forums - state our opinions in relation to others. No over-romanticising, just stating, for example, that if I'd pick up "The Court of the Crimson King" and look at the cover and expect some kind of brutally loud in-your-face experience without hearing it and get it home and find that 75% of it is deep mellotron ooze and a quarter hour of plinks and plonks, I might've gotten quite pissed! I'm not just speaking about downloads. We can easily hear or buy things without downloading. We can still buy physical product - CD or LP or... I'm just saying if I had a physical product in my hands that I don't know anything about, in the old days you had to hope - have faith - that you spent your money wisely. Nowadays, you, more often than not, don't have to do that. The "discovery" is online and you can "discover" more - many times more for each physical discovery that you'd make in a flea market, for instance.

I know what you mean Bev. I remember the afternoon that I bought both Bitches Brew and Adderley's "Experience in E." The cover of BB and the lengthy tunes of the Adderley were the elements that brought me to them. That was usually my criteria in those days. I remember buying the first releases on ICP in the late 60's for the very same reason(s) and the music kept me going back for more. Now, young people can listen to BB before making the leap.

I'm still confused by what many people here mean by the word "discovering." So far - and I'm with Bev on this - it appears that it's meaning is solely placed on the physical object rather than the audible. I'm "discovering" each day - many times a day - new things that I haven't heard. A few hours spent at the "records stores" known as WFMU or Last.FM or the innumerable blogs or record label websites each day yields more musical discoveries for me than, for example, old days at Tower where I'd just write down an grossly overpriced title that I couldn't listen to before buying and come home and check online to see if it was something I'd find interesting. If yes: I'd buy it at a greatly reduced price - if no: I hadn't wasted my money. I'm reminded of the days, back in the late 60's/early 70's when you could take an album into a listening booth and put it on the turntable to check it out beforehand. When that option was removed years later, you were told by the record companies what you should dutifully buy - 'cause, you know, everyone else was buying it! Anyway, I'm discovering more these days - and at a faster and more exciting fun level than ever before, so I'm baffled by this physical hunt-and-capture that we talk of here. Latest exciting discovery has been immersing myself in Mahssa mixes these pass few weeks. - something that I would never find in stores!

But isn't hunting all tied in with ownership? Is it not enough to rejoice in actually being able to hear a release that you'd been searching for and finally found - rather quickly - online? If you're wanting to hear a new artist that people you respect are raving about, I can't see the good in spending precious years of your life trying to hunt it down and then get all warm and cushy cause you've scored a big one.

I can agree with much of what you're saying, but I think the premise is strangely skewed. A young guy owning Miles, or Trane in one fell swoop is easy these days because these musicians are relegated to "classic" status and therefore recordings are boxed and released. So using Miles or Trane as examples has little bearing on the inherent question. Do we have jazz artists around today who can get a guy in high school, for instance, so excited that he's anxiously waiting for that next release to come out - buying it in whatever form he chooses? ...and then just continues until, one day, he realizes that he has 50 releases from this particular artist and now he's been branded as a collector? For me, and for some people that I hang around with, the interest in collecting is no longer LP vs CD vs some other format, but rather the limited edition item usually with some kind of special packaging. Kinda been this way for a long time: even the early 80's when your formats were mostly just singles, LPs and K7s. I don't see this special packaging very often with new jazz releases - maybe some special European labels - but more with experimental music releases. For a good number of people, there's a definite move away from - even a near avoidance of - major label product in favor of the specialty item no matter what format it comes in, so I think the format idea is much less valid these days (unless you're into DJing and you want to work the tables with wax). Now, it's possible to buy a hybrid CD which you can flip over and play on your turntable. It has grooves on the other side and it's essentially a 5" single. Can't say how long that will last, but that's on someone's list of collectible items without resorting to complete collections of anybody.
