Shipping?

Somehow never heard about this. I'd love to hear it.

I should probably form an opinion on one or the other...

Same boat. I'm on a strict budget that means I may not spend a solitary penny on music for years to come. It's hard, it's depressing, it's life.

The comma is used in place of the period in Europe, so that's 34.02 or $45.13

I really, really wish they'd do the Zoot Sims Pablos in a set.

The Milestone Konitzs are great, especially Spirits with Sal Mosca The 90s duo with Alan Broadbent, included iirc, are beautiful.

There's a nice essay by Bill Shoemaker in the new Point of Departure about this set and Martin Williams.

Has the Roland Kirk set been reissued in this manner yet?

Great news, keep it coming! I really think the Tapscott could be big if the stars align. I could see Kevin Whitehead featuring it on Fresh Air or some such.

Wow, this looks like a great set. Very interesting. Wish I could afford it.

I once read and Amazon review where the writer said Ken Vandermark was not a jazz musician, but an R&B player. Bizarrely, I see where this person is coming from-- the point of delivery, playing with a solid implicit beat rather than the flow of swing. Anyways, I'm thinking this is the same principle at work and I disagree in both cases.

The Mulligan is wonderful, through and through. One of my favorite Mosaic products.

I had one volume and passed it on. Nothing too exciting to these ears. But if its your thing, there's nothing there to dissuade.

John Abercrombie's Third Quartet with Marc Johnson, Mark Feldman and Joey Baron is one of my favorite guitar albums. Very deep, complex music with lots of interplay and a few crescendos.

Anyone know whether Michele Rosewoman is still playing/recording? Her website hasn't been updated for nearly a year now. Recording: unsure. Playing: yes

Good read, Clifford. I'm with you completely on the mp3 thing-- it just doesn't feel real unless I can hold it. I can't connect otherwise. FWIW I like Shipp's playing a lot, and he seems like a person I'd enjoy spending time with. Don't quite get the whole to-do. My favorite recording is The Multiplication Table. By The Law of Music is one of those I pull out every so often, like Braxton's 3 Compositions of New Jazz, to see if this will be the time I "hear it". Still hasn't happened (with either of them). But I heard casually, secondhand, an anecdote about something he supposedly did that I don't like, so actually, fuck him ...

Wow, I hadn't heard about that! Awesome. Whoever I put on Transmit, I always end up spinning it over and over for a few days.

I didn't mean you, Steve. I get where you're coming from.

Leo has put out several Pereleman CDs with Shipp, Cleaver, and Maneri the last couple years. I'd have liked to check them out, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Also re: Snakeoil: I'm sorry I brought the damn thing up. It's a shame that Tim Berne hasn't done enough for and by himself over the last thirty years to adequately prove to people he's not in it for the money. What a bullshit attitude to have towards someone who's busted his ass for decades making people happy with no financial gain at all. I'll assume you'd lob the same snark in Roscoe Mitchell's direction?

All things being what they are, these albums are rare and hard to find, so if you want to hear them, this is it, period.

Tim Berne's Snakeoil - Shadow Man is out on ECM on 9/30. Definitely one of my more anticipated releases ...i

Haven't heard this one, but Matador & The Bull is a motherfucker.

Hm, I think US is one of the densest, most complex and difficult albums I've ever heard. I find Conquistador to be thrillingly musical and quite listenable ... As far as the later, more intensely free stuff, I think The Eighth and Winged Serpent are both good listens with some very calm and beautiful passages.

On the more mainstream side of things, Orrin Evans' new disc '...it was beauty' on Criss Cross is tremendous.
