Corbett vs Dempsey will be reissuing Tips on CD this month. Hooray!! https://www.dustygroove.com/item/756185

By coincidence I was listening to The Freedom Book yesterday and Alan Dawson was just smoking. The first cut, "A Lunar Tune" has jaw-dropping playing from everyone, especially Jaki Byard, but just ... holy shit, Alan Dawson. Nobody plays quite like him.

Don't like the bells & whistles on the 70s stuff in the first place so this sounds like a no go for me.

That's an amazing video.

Wow, I missed this the first time around. This will absolutely be worth a read.

I getting this Apparently this a deluxe book/CD/DVD thing so $70 is the actual price. More than I'd prefer to spend on 3CDs but I will get around to it one day. Squidco does have it now.

I've only had positive experiences on Discogs. It's the most no-bullshit place on the internet as far as pricing. Gouging is very rare. edit: in my experience buying primarily avant/free improv CDs. YMMV on other fronts.

Dusty G lists it in stock on or around June 1. Should be double CD at $24.99 if other CDs from the label are any indication.

Yeah. I suggested those two would make a good pairing in the Impulse! twofer series a few years back and Chuck pointed out it would get into double-disc territory. Still a pity.

CD forthcoming!

That is the highlight of the record for me. I find whenever I pull this one out it gets spun over and over for days.

Once again, Mark, wonderful work on the article. I'm so glad that people like Marcus Belgrave can get such a thorough and dedicated tribute in print.

Very sad. RIP.

Why do you avoid their LPs? I avoid LPs in general just because I prefer CDs and listen to 99% of my music in the kitchen or in the car. But I also find NB LPs (and new vinyl in general) to be overpriced. I will get the Convergence album but it will run me more than $25 and I think that's both unfeasible and a little nuts. I agree that Tribal Ghost is great.

Four new ones on No Business: Berger/Knuffke CD Howard Riley LP Covergence Quartet LP Keune/Lash/Noble LP Schlippenbach/Hubweber/Schubert/Thomas/Keller CD I generally avoid their LPs but will make an exception for the new CQ!

Already available from grooves-inc w/ free intl shipping. I almost added it to my order of Steve Lacy's Shots but showed (admirable!) restraint.

There's a new Anti-House release with guest Oscar Noriega.

I've posted this before, but listen to this rendition of one of his signature tunes which features jaw-dropping playing from the late Tim Green:

Hard days. RIP.

Dennis is currently hospitalized with complications from diabetes, but seems on the upswing which I'm glad to see. In my estimation he is a brilliant player. I have never heard a note from him that I didn't like. I get why people stick with the old Silkheart recordings-- they're incredible to a one, my favorite being The Desert Wind. But any recording he makes is worth hearing. I am personally very inspired by the example he sets with his regional focus. If it weren't for Dennis, we would not have Charles Brackeen's later recordings; we would not have a lot of the recent work of Alvin Fielder documented; we would not have as many recordings with the brilliant Tim Green; ditto John Purcell, Henry Franklin, and countless other young players he invites to play (who always acquit themselves well in his presence) Again, do not sleep on his recent work. Some personal favorites include: Cape of Storms (Ayler) Resurrection and Life (Ayler) Idle Wild (Clean Feed) Renegade Spirits (Furthermore) I need to get the recent Shaman and In Quiet Waters from For Tune in Poland. I'm also on the lookout for the OOP Old Time Revival on Furthermore, if anyone has a lead....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. But Creole Gardens is fantastic. I listened earlier this week. Will need to grab the Brice you showed. And erwbol, the Braxton is top notch! Great Gerry Hemingway on there, and I love Brax's notes.

Can't wait to pick up Steve Lacy's Shots.

Me too. But not in £!

Per Arts For Art. RIP.

Pre-order? I haven't been able to find it currently in stock anywhere.
