I'd be happy upstate. Even Westchester, where I was. NYC has no heart anymore. Bloomberg, You drove the final nail in the coffin of the city I love. Hope you're happy, scumbag. Westchester is no longer what is was. It's now filled with people from the Bronx who have a sad sense of self-entitlement! I call it NYC North.

It hasn't --- I suspect that ordering from B&N has its share of downsides.

Me three!

I don't know her playing but Tabligh is on it's way so I can see how Iyer fits with Wadada She's talented. She's also Mrs. Tony Malaby.

If Cobham moved to America when he was 3, then calling him a "Panamanian drummer" is a bit like calling Henry Kissinger a "German statesman" Are we really reaching that far back into the annals (or should I say "anals"?) of Republican futility???

Burn the rest of the songs onto a CD-R and insert the MP3 in the appropriate place.

All kids today are spoiled ---- except for mine! Ain't this the truth!!!!

Here's hoping he can keep on keeping on!

Gentle Joseph? I thought his real name was Bill Evans.

Hitting during any era will always be commensurate with the pitching of that era. Ruth just happened to stand out. As much as I hate to say this (being a member of the NY Yankees lifetime haters club), he was extraordinary and definitely amongst the best the game has ever seen.

Don't wish too hard, you just might get what you want Last I emailed Hip-O early in January, they said they hadn't yet received word from the pressing plant as to when the Trane disc would be ready. When I saw that Universal was releasing the components of the boxed set on 2/7, I assumed that meant the corrected disc HAD to be ready. Maybe a bad assumption? They couldn't possibly be releasing the bad disc again, could they?

Yes, he plays alto and has a pianoless trio called the Fully Celebrated Orchestra. Been around since the early 90s. His records on the Swedish Silkheart label are killer, and are much in the tradition of the classic Ornette records but without the trumpet counterpoint.

Any chance of images, if you have them Need to check my stash to be sure of what I have. I'll get back to you within a few days.

I think there may be some confusion here. I know about the intent to repress the Coltrane disc. I was just asking because Mr. Peterson asked you about the GETZ disc.

I think I have both the Wade Legge and Fats Sadi as Japanese paper sleeve editions.

Why? Has Hip-O decided to repress that errant disc after all?

I guess this means the replacement disc referenced upthread should be coming soon as well.

Are you trying to feed the flames??? Yes. Some great music on this disk though - much of it is about collective counterpoint, sometimes with the sax in a rhythm role. Long and hypnotic melodies. Given the direction the other thread took (and your complaints about it), I have to say that I'm flabbergasted that this would be your desire. I've been a huge fan of Berne's for years. I have probably about 99% of the discs he appears on. I have no doubt that the music contained on this upcoming disc will hold at least some interest for me. That being said, I almost always have to be in the "right" mood to listen to his stuff. No I was teasing. I am on the second time through now. It's a fantastic disc in terms of the group counterpoint, the whole group feeling, a real labour of love. All really well played-in. I should think he's delighted with it. Glad to hear it! I've spoken to Tim on the phone (to place orders for his Screwgun discs --- he lives local to me in Brooklyn), and believe me --- he's never delighted about anything

or maybe "Mr. Circular Breathing" is all wrong!

Yes, time to get real!

Although that is true in every practical sense (when has marxism in any of its bastardized forms ever worked, after all?), this is really besides the point. The way I read it, the thread boils down to two amazingly wonderful artists who couldn't possibly make a bum record, being relegated to making ones because of the general dumbing down of the art form desired by a German producer with a Napoleon complex.

ok, well I grew up right near you. same land, same world
