wow!! is this the only known footage of the 66 euro tour band? Thanks Pim interesting comment on youTube "At the very end, we can see the future prime minister of France (Jacques Chaban-Delmas")

RIP Charles

Thanks James (got your email too), what a coincidence indeed re Fresh Sound Also sorry bout the Accardi vs Riccardi confusion It's already available via Fresh Sound https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/philly-joe-jones-albums/56771-live-at-birdland-historic-unreleased-1962-recordings.html

had it on my wants list at Dusty Groove since it appeared on the site have previously picked up the two Jef Gilson/Malagasy (Malagasy & At Newport-Paris) SouffleContinu CDs (originally on the Lumen/Palm labels)

wonder if it will come with the CD of previously unreleased material ? (some has been released on Dark Tree since)

sure does - listened to the set twice now - like the musical organisation of each disc, Hank or Trane on discs 1 & 2 (sextet & quintet). The two quintet sessions (Quintets & Cool Struttin' - Dec 57, Feb 58) fit nicely onto disc 4 with trio material on discs 3 & 5. Leapin' & Lopin' comprises disc 6.

had my copy since November 2022 & it sits permanently beside my computer workbench - a tremendous (& heavy!!) production with a lot of love & effort behind it.

RIP Robbie - off to The Big Pink House in the sky

friend of mine found a stack of these (jazz/blues) books at his local markets - I chose a few from him - 50s/60s/70s publications - lots of reading

Am enjoying this immensely (3/4 way through now) & the book structure (roughly chronological but random topics, not at all heavy on music theory). His vignettes are fascinating, favourites are time in Vietnam plus meeting Coltrane & Ellington. The Hubkaphone discussions mention (p 210) a live LP recorded in 2003 at Engine 27, NYC where Henry prerecords his hubkaphone (at the venue) then plays it back (at varying octaves) during his Zooid's performance. I'd never heard of this release - Pop Start The Tape, StoP on the Hardedge label release #1 in 2005 in edition of 1000. I found the Hardedge website via Discogs & you wouldn't believe it, there are still copies left in 2023 - scored one & am listening now - the Hubkphone features prominently. The website has glitches for purchasing so you have to order via email (contact Velibor) details on website https://www.hardedge.net/catalog https://www.discogs.com/release/4162996-Henry-Threadgills-Zooid-Pop-Start-The-Tape-Stop

won't there be space when you divest yourself of your individual Clark CDs (I'm sure you'd have some)

Wow!! Six days to Australia via Fedex - what a difference to the previous abysmal shippers (Asendia) Excellent sound & the booklet is a stunner, packed with Wolff's images - I'm sure there's a few here that havn't been previously published (Wolff books, LP/CD sleeves/liner notes etc). Enjoyed Blumenthal's informative notes.

I asked MC back in the 90s for a Hutcherson set but he thought it would be difficult to find a cutoff point (I suggested a few & he thought it was reasonable but it never came to be) - this is way before the release of the 70s Select set. He was interested so maybe now with the new revival of BN Mosaics he may actually go for a Hutch set.

the Chambers/Kelly set has one & a half CDs of the Frank Strozier Quintet with the amazing Booker Little including a couple of previously unreleased alts - one of the main reasons I picked up the box was to have all of the Strozier/Little material in one place

reply from Michael via Tom Lord - I presume nut = but Hi Stephen, Here’s Cuscuna’s reply: “News to me, nut entirely possible. There were Blue Note geeks lurking in BN offices across the planet!” I have put the German release in the footnote to session #P865. Thanks, Tom

Agreed, i was also thinking this as i was posting & looking at the the label image

I sent this information to Tom Lord (Lord Discography) who has just replied & has also passed this onto Michael Cuscuna for his comments/opinion

wow!! must have missed this initially - what a find indeed

all great material there Someone should snap up the Chambers/Kelly set - not easy to come by

thanks, will do Ah yes, I should have thought of them - I did my first order (Lacy LPs & two Threadgill CDs) with them last month (after a break of a few years after they commenced charging for shipping unless it was a massive order) Thanks

Anyone in the UK know where I could source my Jazz In Britain & British Progressive Jazz CDs - I've downloaded many of them (I'm a subscriber) & burnt them to CDr but occasionally I want to get the actual CD or rarely an LP version. Been sourcing them via Dusty Groove (yes, Chicago!!) as the shipping costs were reasonable but over the past few months that has changed. Also buying them via JIB bandcamp, the shipping costs to Australia are ridiculous per CD. I did do a one off bulk order from JIB (not via Bandcamp) last year. I also purchase from Honest Jon's but they don't stock the JIB or BPJ releases.

why don't you contact him & find out directly - contact details below (hope they're still current/valid) https://chambers.artsci.utoronto.ca/

let's talk about Steve - been meaning to post re two new Ictus LPs recently released "The Ictus Archives, Vols 1 & 2" - live Udine region, Italy 1976, probably Centazzo's recordings 80% (7 of 9 tracks) of both LPs is Lacy solo material, previously unreleased except for 1 track (trio with Carter & Centazzo, previously released on an Ictus CD). The SQ is stunning IMHO - I compared the previously released CD track to the vinyl version & the difference is markedly audible. Highly recommended IMHO - no CD version (as of yet?) maybe this should be moved to a Lacy post

yes, will be interesting - I've been a long term motorcycle (petrol) rider since 1979 (Ducati, Gilera, BMW) currently riding a 1973 BMW 75/5 - will keep this once the Savic arrives. My concern will be the lack of noise emitted - silent running & accidents - may have to add some synthetic motorcycle sounds via a speaker (ongoing joke suggested by Savic). The model I'm getting should have a range of 250kms.

I'm in the first 50 (#45) build slots for the new Australian (Savic) electric cafe racer - first ones off the production line likely December this year. https://www.savicmotorcycles.com/c-series
