  1.

  2. Rules are rules, and so be it, but I agree with Rooster_Ties: old aircheck LPs seem a far cry from a "jazzmessengers.com" type CD product. If the OP wanted a Harry James or Casa Loma aircheck instead of Coltrane, would it be an issue?
  3. Equal to less. Take it where you can get it.

    Monk also spoke kindly of Denny Zeitlin, so if you haven't checked him out ...
  5. Wow, disappointing/worrying.
  6. Who's on that one? Billy Harper?
  7. Looking forward to hearing it. I'm largely anti-flute, but I trust Mr Horwich and love Denny Zeitlin, so we'll see.
  8. Yes, a very good one and rather hard to come across. Hal McKusick is another huge selling point.
  9. Somehow never heard about this. I'd love to hear it.
  10. I should probably form an opinion on one or the other...
  11. 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.
  12. The comma is used in place of the period in Europe, so that's 34.02 or $45.13
  13. I really, really wish they'd do the Zoot Sims Pablos in a set.
  14. The Milestone Konitzs are great, especially Spirits with Sal Mosca The 90s duo with Alan Broadbent, included iirc, are beautiful.
  15. There's a nice essay by Bill Shoemaker in the new Point of Departure about this set and Martin Williams.
  16. Has the Roland Kirk set been reissued in this manner yet?
  17. 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.
  18. Wow, this looks like a great set. Very interesting. Wish I could afford it.
  19. 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.
  20. The Mulligan is wonderful, through and through. One of my favorite Mosaic products.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Anyone know whether Michele Rosewoman is still playing/recording? Her website hasn't been updated for nearly a year now. Recording: unsure. Playing: yes
  24. 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 ...
