Fundacja Słuchaj is releasing a 42 minute solo recorded for Polish radio in 1968: https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/respiration

I see this is now available from Trost on Bandcamp & streaming sites. I saw this announced some months back but I have not seen any kind of announcements about the actual release, nor have I seen anything about stateside retailers receiving the CD. For some reason availability of Trost releases is a bit of a crapshoot here; the Oliveros/Leandre/Lewis disc they put out last year has never shown up anywhere in the US. I will be placing a direct order from the label for both of these. Anyways, good stuff here! https://peterbroetzmann.bandcamp.com/album/jazz-in-der-kammer-1974

CadNor actually has much more of the catalogue available than I realized, if you want to go that route. But still none of the Raph Malik titles (the aforementioned disc with Frank Wright, trios with Joe McPhee/Donald Robinson and Cecil McBee/Cody Moffett, and a quartet with Sabir Mateen, all of which have eluded me over the years)

Boxholder was a great label. It's a shame those are so hard to get ahold of, or even hear at all now.

I'm assuming you have heard this, but worth posting regardless: Michael Mantler: trumpet Peter Brötzmann: tenor sax Carla Bley: piano Peter Kowald: double bass Aldo Romano: drums. and to that end, this was just finally added to YouTube the other day. Put it on just now for the first time after wanting to hear it for many years.

Tim Berne has recorded in duo with Bill Frisell (1988) and Gregg Belisle-Chi (2021)

Kaoru Abe & Masayuki Takayanagi - Gradually Projection + Mass Projection, though that's rather a far cry from Desmond & Hall ...

Not sure if they were available last year but they are now (Dusty Groove has 3 of 4 and I'm sure will keep them restocked).

Speaking of your white label: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304364493205?hash=item46dd899995:g:zJ4AAOSw~jpiEUW2

It has, and the LP has gone through the roof. This one has become quite fashionable lately.

I have an original, great album. Hopefully we will see an RE of the much, much rarer Abdul Wadud LP soon. Sirone did have one of those just perfect discographies. A few performances of note that haven't been mentioned here: -Life Rays w/ Walt Dickerson & Andrew Cyrille -High Two with Dave Burrell -many excellent dates with Charles Gayle, including the interesting and very underheard Silkheart quartet with Billy Bang & a young Tyshawn Sorey -Beneath Tones Floor with Oluyemi Thomas & Michael Wimberly

Which of these have you enjoyed recently? Relative Pitch in particular puts out so much that I have a hard time parsing it and usually only grab titles that either immediately jump out to me or are recommended from trusted sources.

Thanks for the tip Steve, I'll be sure to check it out as well. :Putting in a word for the Fred Moten/Brandon Lopez/Gerald Cleaver LP, which is soon to see CD release on Relative Pitch. It's absolutely extraordinary .

Nur/Nicht/Nur put out a few 3" CDs in the early 00s if that's what you're thinking of. I have one by Erhard Hirt. The Euphonium label currently releases some things on the format.

Response: "We're short on concrete info at the moment but it's still noted as "coming soon" on the label's website so we'll do our best to get it in if and when we can. If and when we do get concrete release info, we'll make it available for preorder. Hope that helps!" So until we see something from another source, I'm gonna chalk this album up as once-planned but non-existent.

I went ahead and sent an email inquiring, hopefully I'll hear something back.

In The Trenches has been added back to the Upcoming Releases page at "about May 1, 2022". Curious, but also very precedented.

Unfortunate. I would say many of the same things about the DKV Trio + Joe McPhee gig I saw a few years ago.

It was my understanding there were supposed to be more releases in the Survival archive/reissue series. I'd wonder if they have these tapes or what.

Here is a 12 minute short film called "Street Music" comprising footage from a February 19, 1973 session intended for release as Chaos on Survival Records. Was anyone aware of this session, or has anyone heard it? Frank Lowe, tenor sax; flute; voice Richard Dunbar, french horn Selene Fung, koto Jeanne Lee, voice Duncan Lawson, piano; vibes Ali, congas; flute; percussion Juma Sultan, bass; percussion Billy Parker, drums https://www.facebook.com/keepingjazzvisible/videos/665896531161464

Well now I feel especially like an idiot, one because I said this doesn't exist and two because I .... have .. it

Hard question to answer, I've found them all to be really excellent. The Bisio in particular is undoubtedly the best thing I've heard this year, and it will probably stay that way. At 4 discs the Trevor-Briscoe/Mezzei/Guazzaloca has a steep barrier to entry, but it's some of the best group/interactive free improvisation I've heard in quite some time. Of the 3 piano trios here, Frequency Disasters was the most impressive, really a lot of fun. The Oùat LP is very good (wish it was on CD instead). I enjoy Melford's work a lot but am having reservations about this one for some reason. Maybe not just in the mood for this style right now. I have never enjoyed Ballister and I don't think another one would change my mind. Slightly intrigued by the Day & Taxi disc.

Definitely not significant, no. Actually this may be the first instance of this I've seen. In a back of the envelope sense, there were a few hundred or less OJC LPs and many hundreds, if not thousands, of OJC CDs, plus the many later twofer/compilation CDs that cleaned up a lot of the remainder of the Prestige, Fantasy, and Riverside catalogs in particular (there are 2 or 3 of these covering Mongo Santamaria).
