romualdo

any Necks fans out there? The trio (Abrahams/Swanton/Buck) has been around since the late 80s & have recently released their 19th studio album "Travel" (2LP/CD) via Northern Spy They've all (individually) been on the jazz/alt rock/improv scene for years https://thenecks.com/ I've seen them many times (Brisbane & Sydney - only time as a support act to Nick Cave) - their concerts/recordings are always 30-45 minutes of pure hypnotic improvisation They're big in London, NYC, Europe - much better known there than in Australia

solo - includes lots of close-up work including his chunky rings - some of the best solo footage I've ever seen here's a promo for the DVD from YouTube check the comments below (in YouTube), especially Ran Blake's

wow!! what a list - just checked my database & I've got 29 of those releases/sessions/concerts I wasn't aware of the Belgrade GOJ Jazz Door disc (Nov 2, 1971) - it's not listed in Lord either AFAIK, unless it's not under Giants of Jazz - just checked & it's under Dizzy Gillespie's name The Jazz Icons final DVD box set has one disc of Monk in Paris (69) with amazing colour footage just found that HiHat cd online & ordered it - bummer it's so "legit" while we're on the subject of live Monk, I'm peripherally involved in the production/official release of a Monk live in Australia 1965 CD. It's from my home town, Brisbane - more details to come but in early stages at present

ordered my copy a couple of days ago (Matt has reserved a copy for me) he just told me that there is going to be an international sales button (on the website page) when purchasing - should be up today then I'll properly purchase have you seen the warning on the Nimbus West site re the bootleg Outernational Sounds label - looks like they've been giving Tom Albach a hard time - sounds like a classic example of elder abuse Matt has also posted this message on the Outernational Sounds Discogs page https://www.discogs.com/label/1193697-Outernational-Sounds "DO NOT BUY ANY NIMBUS “REISSUES” WHICH ARE ISSUED BY outernational sounds These are unofficial BOOTLEGS, MP3 SOURCED THE SO CALLED “CONTRACTS” THAT HARV AND CO CLAIM TO HAVE , WERE OBTAINED FROM A 93 YEAR OLD TOM ALBACH BY MISLEADING AND NEFARIOUS MEANS…. THERE STILL EXISTS LAWS ABOUT EXPLOITING THE ELDERLY, AND THIS IS 100% A CASE OF GROSS MANIPULATION AND EXPLOITATION OF AN ELDERLY COUPLE.. OUR LAWYER HAS DEFINITIVELY CONFIRMED THAT THE “CONTRACTS” HAVE NO LEGAL STANDING WHATSOEVER , AND THE MEANS BY WHICH THEY WERE OBTAINED WERE FIRMLY ILLEGAL (SENDING COURIERS TO DEMAND SIGNATURES FROM A 93 YEAR OLD MAN WHO HAS NO IDEA WHAT HES SIGNING.. its pathetic -THERE ARE REASONS WHY CONTRACTS OF THIS TYPE REQUIRE NOTARIZATION AND A WITNESS, THESE SO CALLED “CONTRACTS” HAVE NEITHER).. WE HAVE ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR HARV AND CO. TO “CEASE AND DESIST” TO NO AVAIL…THO THEY FINALLY STOPPED HARASSING THE ELDERLY ALBACHS VIA INCESSANT PHONE CALLS -THEY KEEP CHURNING OUT THESE ILLEGAL BOOTLEGS, AND HAVE FAILED TO EVEN LIVE UP TO THE TERMS OF THE “CONTRACTS” THEY CLAIM ARE LEGIT.. HMMM, PRETTY WEIRD… SO , IF THESE “CONTRACTS” ARE LEGIT AS THEY CLAIM, THEN WHERE IS THE COMPENSATION STIPULATED IN THE TERMS? NO ? OH AND HOW ABOUT THE MECHANICAL ROYALTIES OWED TO THE ARTISTS (as per the fake “contracts”)? NOPE, NOT PAYING THOSE EITHER?… FACT IS - HARV and his little scam label NEVER INTENDED TO PROPERLY COMPENSATE THE ARTISTS OR NIMBUS. HARV IS A CON MAN AND SINCE HE REFUSES TO CEASE REPRESSING HIS BOOTLEGS OF NIMBUS TITLES. WE WILL NOW BECOME VERY VOCAL ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT. DON’T BUY outernational sounds BOOTLEGS"

yep, bought loads of OJC cutouts from Oldies & Newbury especially when shipping rates were reasonable to Australia (plus we also had the dirt cheap "surface" shipping option ie 12-16 weeks - I never minded waiting).

wow!! what a find - I had IF vinyl way back, not anymore Initially thought that was John Peel on bass g

It just gets worse with each order (3rd with Asendia now) Received this shipping notice (from Mosaic) on February 9 Your order #20957 has shipped via e-PAQ Plus. Recipient Address: Stephen Platt 5 Cornish Place ASPLEY, QLD 4034 AU e-PAQ Plus Asendia Tracking #: 9FT6LNXDX2 Shipping label generated by My tracking number has not given any results since then so after contacting Mosaic, Fred has contacted Asendia & this is what I've just got from them Hello, The package in question was processed on 02/20/23. Kind Regards, Charmaine Barfield Customer Service Representative Shipped on February 9 according to Mosaic but has only been processed on the 20th according to Asendia WTF!!!!!

11 of the 18 titles are on this Jazz Factory CD https://www.discogs.com/release/6252008-Charlie-Parker-Live-With-The-Big-Bands

I was really hoping they may have added the previously unreleased Copenhagen concert, unfortunately no already have all of this on 2CDs https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/15959 The stated label is ORG - is that related to Craft?

same here - my copy was apparantly shipped a week ago & the so called tracking number goes nowhere & is not recognised by all of the tracking systems/links I use (even the ones at the bottom of the Mosaic confirmation of shipping email). I contacted Mosaic & Fred's comments were Hi Stephen, The tracking # is correct and a note appears on the tracking: Due to limited uplift capacity and flight cancellations, we are experiencing a disruption in service from the West Coast into Australia. This is exactly the same initial note/outcome with my last two Asendia/Mosaic orders & each time I was given (after a few weeks) a newer different tracking number that actually worked. The response from Asendia (three times now) really sounds a bit suss IMHO

The 2001 RVG editions had the improved sound ie Vol. 1 had all the transfers created from the original lacquer discs (to digital in 24bit resolution) https://www.discogs.com/release/4605240-Bud-Powell-The-Amazing-Bud-Powell-Volume-One

Yup!!

I'm on the Eric Dolphy group & this has been discussed over the past week Ted Brinkley "Hearing about an imminent release of live Coltrane material from early or mid 1961? A sextet with Dolphy, and two bassists. Set list includes a performance of When Lights Are Low with Eric playing the melody. Other tunes include Africa, Greensleeves, Impressions. Tapes turned up at the NY Public Library….if someone here knows more, please fill in or correct details!" Ted Brinkley "I’m told that it’s from the Village Gate later that summer, a single microphone recording by Richard Alderson (who lent the tapes to someone, never to retrieve them? When that person passed away their archives were donated to the New York Public Library, and eventually discovered.)" I found more related info in Wild (The John Coltrane Reference", p 226) Eric Dolphy joined the group for the last weekend of the gig (Village Gate: July 21-23, 1961). Dolphy had closed at the Five Spot with Booker Little on July 16, 1961. Although there are at least three reviews of the July 1961 Village Gate gig and none mentions Dolphy, it appears that all the reviewers were at the club during the first week of the gig, not the last weekend, so they would have missed Dolphy.” The complete dates of the Village Gate gig were July 11-23, 1961.

I bought a copy (new) from a local record store here in Brisbane at the time (1998) - still have the receipt - it was expensive even at the time, costing me $Aus 84

I dropped in to Amoeba in SF (Haight) back in 2017 on our US trip Never seen such a big record/CD store - picked up a handful of CDs but the cherry on top was the Shorty Rogers "Modern Sounds" Capitol box set (3 x 7" 45s) in beautiful condition - $7.99!! IMHO a bargain just for the cover alone

loved Tom & Television - played Marquee Moon today RIP

don't get me started when it comes to Asendia & International shipping (Australia) - total cockup for my last two orders (Hubbard/Tristano most recently & earlier Black & White) - probably going to happen to the JATP order too

About the Author Richard Koloda has a master's degree in Musicology from Cleveland State University (having written a thesis on the piano music of Frederic Rzewski). He was a contributor to the critically acclaimed documentary My Name Is Albert Ayler by Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin and was a consultant on Revenant Records' ten-CD retrospective of Ayler, which has been called 'the Sistine Chapel of box sets'. Richard lives in Wayland, Ohio, where he practices law. When he is not in court, he is working on his second book (not about music).

yep, it's my fav Zappa period - so, no original Waka & Wazoo standard recordings then (unless you have Blue Ray)

back to the Waka/Wazoo box I presume the 5th "Blue Ray" disc can be also played in a standard CD player

wonderful octet session with Osborne, Skidmore & Surman

I had never heard of the '66 Helsinki Recordings - I managed to get the Ayler Rarities tracks from UBU a few years back - contained any previously unreleased material (in the Ayler "Tree") up till (IIRC) the Revenant Box (that removed many of the previously unreleased tracks) - as of 2022 all that was left in the can was the Copenhagen concert (Nov 11, 1966) & a single Burton Greene live Slugs track that may not have even included AA. No mention of Helsinki.

been eyeing off this set since I received their promo email a few weeks back. 150 euros is a bit steep for a 5LP set especially when there are only two previously unreleased longish tracks - been buying the CDs over the past 3 years anyway. Probably not worth it for me.

AFAIK FZ has been cancelled in the eyes of the younger generations (millenials & more recent) due to his homophobic & misogynist lyrics - that's what I'm told by my children (27, 28 & 30) who were well versed in his music while growing up - they still like it & accept his faults great release if you're a Twardzik fan
