I emailed CD Japan over a week ago about the eventual? stocking (by them) of The Freedom Paper sleeve Collection, Series 3 (Marte Roling covers), 4, 5 & onwards. Remember they have carried the first two series so I'm feeling hopeful. Unfortunately I havn't received a reply - previously they have been responsive to my emails. http://www.muzak.co.jp/news/2021/05/

John Feeling for you but there is much light at the end of the tunnel I've been in a similar situation but cessation of work was my decision (a couple of years ago - I'm 64 now). I was a veterinary surgeon for 35 years (mainly emergency work) but had to cease due to a complex health issue (my second heart valve had become infected soon after surgery but still functioning well & not being replaced so on suppressant antibiotics daily) - too risky to continue work as a vet (bites/scratches etc) but I am healthy (swim 1km a day plus walk 3kms) plus I also do the books & general maintenance/IT for my partner's business (Speech Pathologist working primarily with autistic children). I have maintained interests (so i'm never bored) ie music, reading, photography (also collect old Leica cameras), lots of quality time with my partner plus it's amazing what suddenly pops up & can be life changing. Over the past 2 years I've made contact with 10 of my DC (donor conceived - was a donor in the 80s) children (plus 13 grandchildren), all living reasonably close by. That is now taking up quite a bit of time plus my ageing mother (90yo) who is still living independantly but recently began deteoriating. There is always something to achieve/create - you'll be fine ps. Aren't you Lithuanian (you told me that once in the past)? Are you active in the Litho community where you live?

patiently waiting & will savour it even more once it arrives

been on my hit list since it was published (check the price difference between the casebound & paperback editions)

It's a legit label http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Features/Bo%20Weavil.htm "Under exclusive license from Noah Howard" written on CD packaging; doesn't sound like a needle drop

yep!! Bought the Bo' Weavil CD release a few years back

just downloaded & burnt to CDr the latest JIB offering - Mike Gibbs "Tanglewood 63 Revisited" Phenomenal music - live in studio recordings a few months & close to the final recordings for the official release of "Tanglewood 63". Stellar British jazzer lineup. This is so so good!! I suppose you could it a big band

Yep, currently listening to the recent (2018) Jeanne/Ran twofer on a-side records - "The Newest Sound You Never Heard - European Recordings 1966/1967" stunning work, so ahead of its time - highly, highly recommended IMHO

was on my hit list as soon as I saw it last Friday (Squidco weekly update email)

Lord only includes material that has been "released" (shellac/vinyl, flexi, tape, cassette, CD, official download etc etc) unreleased live sessions (on the whole) are not listed

Here's Ornette's discography taken from the current online Lord over the period 1979 to 2010 - there are 30 entries hope you can open it (it's in "Open Document Text" format - opens with microsoft - the only way I was able to load this under 100kb of data - Microsoft text/document & PDF were too large) The 100kb limit can be unbelievably frustrating at times Ornette Coleman Lord 79-2010.odt

I think that version is the long (18:40) live one from Haarlem - different LP/CD release as noted above ("Live In Haarlem - Blood" as opposed to just "Blood") Also note that the original Dutch LP release in 1966 did not sport a Marte Roling cover. I think that only started with the Japanese reissue LP in 1984

been buying UK (Jazz in Britain) & Euro (SAM, NoBusiness) releases via Dusty Groove - shipping is markedly better to Australia (than the UK/Euro route, cept for Honest Jon's in the UK) New Billy Harper SAM LP (Antibes '75), Sam Rivers Archive series (most recent two), Tubby Hayes & Ray Russell JIBs

Those two missing tracks (from the ECM double) & originally on the Fusion LP ie "Trudgin'" (tk #5/mst) & "Used To Be" have been released on the UK Emanem double CD "Bremen & Stuttgart 1961" (another stunning release) Truly "Desert Island" material the ECM set - bought my copy in the mid 90s (new)

from Lord Discography

I'm holding on - CD Japan eventually released the first two series of the Freedom Paper Sleeve collection so I'm hoping/confident that they will stock the third

Some of my favourite jazz recordings come from the Dolphy box ie the complete Five Spot recordings - what a lineup (Little/Dolphy/Waldron/Davis/Blackwell)

you mean 18? I've had 17 for a while now

it has to compete with the IMHO better/later (2011) CBS 6CD set "The Complete Columbia Albums Collection" - includes live material (Village Vanguard) that wasn't in the Mosaic box plus a bonus CD of previously unreleased live VV material

That's it for his official recordings as leader He died in 1988 from a ruptured aortic aneurysm "In the mid-1960s, Shorter moved to Europe, leading his own avant-garde gigs in Geneva and Paris. His style of free jazz sometimes proved to be too far-out for European audiences (his brother remembered that Shorter's gigs in Europe would often end with him responding to the crowd's boos by yelling, "You're not ready for me yet!"), but he generally found European audiences more receptive than those in the U.S. Eventually, he returned to the United States, where he taught briefly at Bennington College but otherwise faded into obscurity. He died of a ruptured aorta in Los Angeles, California in 1988, at age 56, shortly after becoming engaged to Ruth Ann Hancock, a cousin of Herbie Hancock".

received my shipping notice/email today - hopefully a safe journey to Australia

RIP Curtis always loved listening to his opening dialogue on the enhanced section of the "Ultimate" Blue Train CD (1997) " Trane should Live......"

Yep, I suggested that to Michael C a few years back now my fav O'day track

#18 hasn't been released yet Discogs is way behind with its LAJI releases - only up to Vol. 5 Here's the cover to LAJI 17 - my favourite release so far even has one track (prev unrel alt take) from the Marsh/Pepper Contemporary session from Nov 56

CD Japan will eventually get the releases - they're carrying the two previous Freedom batch releases from last year - The Roling covers batch is #3 That's where I'll be sourcing them Yep!!
