  1. It doesn't help that the projects are more than certain to be milquetoast.
  2. Early in my jazz listening I came across a copy of one of his duos with Davis. I was very excited to hear it as RD had caught my ear, but alas when I got home I found the wrong LP was inside. Never did replace it, but he seems like a nice player.
  3. I got a swift reply from Rempis; the discs are shipping out tomorrow so no need to wait!
  4. Looks nice, I'll put in for those. My acquaintance Jon did the design for them. He also does a lot of work for Delmark.
  5. Never seen that one. Is that a rerelease of a better known session?
  6. I've never heard of them. Has it been discussed here before? MG They specialize in committing well-circulated C-quality-sound bootlegs to disc and sell them for $15.
  7. I was gonna say this, though my real #1 is Conglipitous. Still have much of his output to hear, though. The Flow of Things is another fine Black Saint. Relentless as hell.
  8. I'm sure someone here knows this record. I stumbled upon it on DG. Too expensive for me, but I'm sure interested. Particularly worth seeking out, or not so much? http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=rvdjc5bjgs&ref=featured.php&refQ=cat%3D5

    Ran Blake

    Hal Galper review of Ran's book, Primacy of the Ear, posted on Amazon: 5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the serious jazz student! April 28, 2013 By Hal Galper Ran Blake has managed to preserve the oral tradition while keeping it contemporary. Those who know me will be aware of how much George Kochevytsky has inluenced my teaching, Art of Playing The Piano. Ran's ear training program fits exactly into his theory that all music is played by ear. It the way I learned how to play. For example, when I was a Berklee student in the 50's, many of us lived in a five story apartment building at 905 Boylston St., right behing the school. All of us being broke most of the time, when a new Miles Quintet album came out, 10 or 12 of the cats would assemble in the room with the best sound system and we'd play it over & over and all sing the solos together until we could sing everyone of them with the record. Then we'd all try to sing them without the record. Once we had them internalized each of us would return to our respective rooms and try to play them on our instruments, almost exactly in the manner that Ron suggests. His reference to Pauline Oliveras's concept of "deep listening" totally endeared me to this book as, without knowing it until I discovered her a couple of years ago, I had come to the same conclusions that most students don't know the difference between "hearing," which is passive, and "listening" which is active and focussed. Every jazz student should have it on their shelves. Hal Galper
  10. 7 discs seems to be pretty strictly enforced over there these days.
  11. There's a copy at Amazon for $34.95
  12. Great news. Can't wait to see what Braxton & Melford do.
  13. Good one. My mind was BLOWN to find out that Genuine Fables was recorded in my sleepy hometown of Cedar Falls, Iowa, November 1988.
  14. There was a thread about Never Let Me Go, one about Alive, and one about TC in general. Google "Thomas Chapin organissimo".
  15. Probably. I've shipped a few Mosaics overseas and those were about $25. The Ayler is heavier, so yeah, $30-35 to ship.
  16. Sets will ship out tomorrow. Bump for these last ones.
  17. Other people answered this for me. Just passing the time.
  18. Some I know of are the Brotzmann and GUO ones on FMP, Ken Vandermark - Eight Ball and a Frank Rosaly/Keefe Jackson one. Any others? I guess you could also count that strange Ornette 45.
  19. A minor quibble, but the jewel case is a bummer. Couldnt spring for a nice digipack on this premium-price limited edition set? Isn't it a rule that the re-reissue should look nicer than the original reissue? GIMME GIMME GIMME WAH WAH WAH, I know ...
  20. They announced a Wardell Gray set in a late-80s catalog, but alas ... Re:Contemporary, a Curtis Counce Select was mentioned once, too. And again, alas ...
  21. I had my eye on those. I'd so like to place an order, but I know now's not the time ... FWIW, I also love the Jeweled Antler material. I listened to a lot of that at the time, and it was always my favorite stuff to come out of the early 2000's "freak folk" thing.
  22. Replied via email.
