  1. Still digging for those Lewis duos. Very, very tough to find. Find at a reasonable price, that is.
  2. I listened to this one door-to-door on the way home from work last week. It was late, I was tired, and it was raining very hard, but the music was very centering.
  3. Braxton/Parker/Rutherford - Trio (London) 1993 Braxton/Diamond Curtain Wall - Trio (Victoriaville) 2007 Bynum/Morris/Schoenbeck - Next Dixon/Lacy/Koglmann - Opium McPhee/Jaume/Boni - A Future Retrospective, Tales & Prophecies
  4. Just ordered two great-looking cross-pollinated releases: Aquarius by Nicole Mitchell on Delmark and Unknown Known by Josh Abrams on Rogue Art. Both feature the core trio of Abrams, Adasiewicz, and Frank Rosaly with Mitchell and David Boykin respectively.
  5. I know what you mean. I came to jazz & improvised music being burned out on rock music, so the last things I wanted to hear were guitars and vocals. Now, of course, that's far from the case. God, lets not even get into things I thought I didn't like in jazz at the beginning... But OK, I'll embarrass myself: Anything pre-bop Guitar Electric instruments Anything after the mid-60s Louis Armstrong Oof. But like you I came after having my fill of rock, and my mind was a bit conditioned in certain ways.
  6. Strangely, Mingus Ah-Um. I liked "Better Git Hit..." and "Fables" but the rest just kind of glossed over my ears; I much preferred Presents, Black Saint, and Pithcantropus Erectus. But one day it just came together. I might still like those albums better, but I listen to Ah Um more often.
  7. You think that's bad... http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=rfbs8sx7m5&ref=featured.php&refQ=cat%3D5
  8. Neat story about Mr. Cooper!
  9. I'm guessing CraigP got the jump on Two Compositions, but PM anyways ...
  10. Sure, but as others have noted, Tapscott's music has real purchase. I also think the record has a very interesting social-contextual angle (Post-Watts LA, the UGMAA, community arts, etc) that would expand its appeal to the press beyond the musical content, which is thrilling enough. (spinning West Coast Hot as I type!)
  11. Very doubtful.
  12. Wha ...? http://search2.downtownmusicgallery.com/first.cgi?row_boolean_00=AND&select_field_00=Label&search_00=movie+gold&match_00=all+of+these+words&row_boolean_01=AND&select_field_01=Artist&search_01=&match_01=all+of+these+words&row_boolean_02=AND&select_field_02=Artist&search_02=&match_02=all+of+these+words&row_boolean_03=AND&select_field_03=Artist&search_03=&match_03=all+of+these+words&row_boolean_04=AND&select_field_04=Artist&search_04=&match_04=all+of+these+words&Work=0&New_Merch=1&Available=1&Special=1&Pre_Order=0&Cd_Sale=1&Used_Stock=1&fmt_CD=0&fmt_LP=0&fmt_VHS=0&fmt_Cassette=0&fmt_DVD=0&fmt_Miscellany=0&Paging=0&Search.x=0&Search.y=0#results
  13. Was this a long time ago, or recently? Nevermind, I've started a thread about this because it does not compute:
  14. Yes, honestly I think you have it switched around. I think the Tapscott would outsell the Carter/Bradford. I love all three records, but while I think people would take notice of the C/B, I think the Tapscott would have the potential to get the same kind of press as the Hemphill.
  15. RIP indeed. Damn.
  16. Update and one last bump.
  17. Have you considered making a Kickstarter page to well, kickstart the Daley and give you a bit of breathing room on expenses?
  18. Not familiar with the music but I always meant to check it out on your word. I'm sorry you lost a friend and mourn the loss to the improv community as well.
  19. Happened to me last year. I got the rest the next day.
  20. All sets will ship tomorrow, apologies for the delay; it was a hectic week. Price drops on a couple of the other sets.
  21. Another one down.
  22. Priced to move.... The Mingus, Bird, and Miles/Gil are spoken for. All others still on the block.
  23. RIP Donald. Sorry, but it is Freddie Hubbard on Bluesnik Yes, you're right. I was thinking of Lights Out! ...though Ubu is right, Byrd plays splendidly on New Soil too.
  24. I don't love Byrd's playing, but I cherish the likes of Byrd's Eye View, At the Half Note Cafe, Royal Flush and his work on Bluesnik, which might be his very best. RIP.
