A very very provincial approach in most of those lists.

1.12.2012 Well. WELL. WELL. As on the PSI CD Trance Map - but live and just RIVETING Matt is kind of 'local' and EP is down in this neck of the woods relatively frequently, since he started recording in Whitstable. Matt is an amazing talent and you could hardly understand how he got the sounds he did out of the equipment he had... Edited to add: a stream of the concert recording can be found at http://www.free-range.co/ click on 'audio' bottom right. The 'Trance Map' CD is the product of extensive editing: the concert experience is a different beast...

They ran out.

I'm going to take photos of myself holding up my OOP Mosaics and gloating... except that nobody cares any more...

It's sort of like the streets of Brooklyn (not Breukelen--and when I was growing up, before it became the hippest place in America ). But you weren't the target of hostility, were you? Brooklyn was Breukelen once upon a time, right? So once again we can blame the Dutch!

Well if you feel like doing a little community payback why not get the list to 100 and post it?

Don't have too many CDs with me in this period and no time to sit down and listen anyway. CDs are very much 'for best'. Listen a bit on the PC when I am doing routine things (can't concentrate with music on) and also make CD burns for car (uh no ipod yet...). But anyway have basically concluded that mp3s don't sound at all bad for all except hi-fi purposes. And they save a lot of time and storage. We all mellow with time. Thought I'd share that with you. Just listening to this one - you get a good sense of MG's textures and timbres and the CD can sit happily in a box somewhere. [Oh and I mean honk if you support the continued existence of the topic description line as such - see this thread - it's under threat!]

His 'Lost in a Dream' has been rarely far from my CD player since it was issued, and it plays rather differently now since his death. Wonderful company.

It *is* sad, and for some reason the loss of both Sam Rivers and Paul Motian seems like an especially significant moment in the receding of a certain history.

I deleted the link.

Thanks Guys - I'll investigate further.

Miles Davis 'On The Crest Of The Airwaves' box set from Rock Melon. Available from Amazon, where one reviewer says 'The concerts are actually Fillmore West San Francisco on 15 October 1970, Berkshire Music Centre Tanglewood (not England duh!) on 18 August 1970 and Melbourne. All the concerts are worth listening to and the Melbourne concert is over 150 minutes long.' Just a bunch more boots already in circulation?

Shame there's no CD of Crisis - it's rather good. I'm sure the flacs are out there somewhere.

A list of 79 seems just WRONG.

It's the Guardian that comes through your letterbox, but it's the Daily Mail which lives in your heart.

And not forgetting the one with Hampton Hawes from the 70s...

Really? Why so? Because much of it is important and some of you guys are old enough to have been around when it came out first, I guess? I think it was a carefully crafted tweet to get a twitter. Those young un's an' their tweetin' and twitterin' an' the loik. Can't be 'avin' it mysel'.

The crystals cannae take it.

I have or had maaaaany of the BN/SN titles. I often wondered if these were as widely known as they might be. The enthusiasm for these boxes seems to show they are getting a new audience. They were never especially expensive in the UK, and when CD came in there was a window that their LPs were flogged off cheap. With the CDs too there was a period that many were available at mid-price (when many titles were not so current and before these boxes started to come out).

Nice thread. Nice LP.

Reservations aside, if and when the budget edition of Cellar Door comes along I'll be all over it!

You have the url? uh - Google it? I did and got the same thing I always see unless the url isn't http://www.cadencemagazine.com/. From that page you click 'Click here to order the new Cadence Magazine' in bold near the top. It goes here: http://www.cadencejazzmagazine.com/ I shouldn't have teased you as it fooled me too!

If you already know the narration is annoying that means you've already heard it, right? And it's on Spotify. And it sounds like you already got the Cellar Door set. Hm. So should you 'own' it? Hm.

And Henry Threadgill was not wrong about the middle one.

The sound on Live Evil is not good (in the 'domestic' issue, I mean). I don't love that music though so it is enough for me.
