I suppose I was just wondering what tuning system they use....

Yeah I dumped Blackberry for iphone. I really don't see how they can make a comeback even with previous customers, let alone with new ones.

Oh sure I know there's people play it. Here's a famous early revival. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZihrNu3io&client=mv-vf-uk&safesearch=always

I had Dewey Redman in mind too. That and annoying the neighbors.

Um, was in the specialist Early Music Shop and started to covet one. Resisted but... anybody play one? I'm guessing nobody would even attempt this who doesn't already play a double reed instrument, which I don't.

Here's your Evans track list. http://www.universalmusic.it/jazz/artista/discografia/?ccidp=30434360259 Oh. I see it doesn't display properly...

I heard her recently performing the Elgar Concerto. She projects wonderfully and completely took control of the work. She has recorded Carter so she is no slouch, and has a solo disc out that I haven't heard. A fine young musician.

IIRC a couple of valuable LPs of Thomson's settings of Stein and Wuorinen of Ashbery on Albany...

Fair enough. Totally get it.

No it was a stage work with kids. Supposedly his most famous thing. La Strada, maybe? Don't recall.

Albany's promotion of George Lloyd has led me to disregard them. I've heard Lloyd only on recordings and don't rate him. It feels like there's a reason no-one ever mentions most of the composers promoted by that label. Of course there could be much there that would interest me, but Lloyd stands over the whole operation like a head on a spike.

No to Nino. Saw some thing of his with a load of kids running around. So dull.

Thanks for posting.

Maybe not so interested in a shed load of concert duos though. Or solos either come to that. Those things are fine in performance but only rarely are the recordings anything other than documentary. Though documenting things is fine of course. To whom who keeps a record.

Love the sheer madness of the triple format!

Fair question. Lack of interest in life? In others? In musical possibility? In the things that any educated person knows about music? Like if you never read a book by a person who had been alive during your lifetime and didn't think anyone else should either? Could be anything, I don't know.

Oh if we are going outside jazz, Suzie Quattro. Well, I haven't got her first LP any more and in any case I have no filing system so my opinions are worthless. And of course Queen. Though I never owned any Queen.

Quest! The Quintet!!!!!

Guys! Enough with the off remarks!

Great album! One of the few Hats i have. Agreed. I bought Köln when it first came out, and while my copy no longer has the price label on it I know it would have cost more, then, in 1995, than amazon uk's current list price. And yet, As Serious As Your Life is about to arrive, so somehow the reissues continue. And there are so many new releases across the board that there must be a market of some sort. I am guessing that almost everything makes a loss for the label or as Chuck describes is subsidised by the artist.

As for hat reissues, I notice that the reissue of Köln 1978 from 2009 is still in print. That makes me wonder if the demand is really there. No wonder the program is slow.

There are a lot of people whose products are sold on amazon who have been convicted of serious crimes including child sexual abuse. Hm.

I guess your thread title covered all eventualities.

I wish I hadn't asked.

I'm sorry to ask this - why should this have been removed?
