Thanks for the info I have been buying from the NW website for a few years now - even went for the 7LP set a couple of years back Only Nimbus material I don't have is "The Call" - the LP is OOP; was hoping this would be released on CD but hasn't happened yet Another interesting item is the CD that comes with the book "The Dark Tree" - it covers Tapscott material from 1969 to 1995

Toshiyo Taenaka recorded Horace for his Interplay label between 78 & 83. Three sessions were released on LP & subsequently CD (In New York, Songs Of The Unsung & Autumn Colours - the latter 2 being released in 2010 by Absorb Music). Recently picked up these three CD's via HMV Japan - the solo (his first) CD (Songs of...) is a bit harsh sounding but I'm happy to hear any of his recordings, studio or live Two other Interplay sessions were also released in Japan last year, namely Faith & Little Afrika - are these new releases from those early 80's sessions or were they previously released (CD or LP) throughout the 80's? Neither the Lord Discography or the Dark Tree book mention/list these two. Any Tapscott fans out there care to comment on either of these?

Thanks.... just ordered a copy of this

from my own experience (having a long exposure to "Rock" & its tributaries - didn't properly get into jazz till the early 90's) it's the Detroit connection ie MC5 & the Stooges, both of whom were big fans of Sun Ra (the first MC5 LP, "Kick Out The Jams" had a tribute track to El Sonny) Recently a friend bass guitarist (non jazz) who had lived in Melbourne for years & had jammed with the Nick Cave crowd visited me. As soon as she saw my record/CD collection there was immediate focus & comment on my Sun Ra material (It's cool to mention Sun Ra within the "alternate" rock fraternity).

Can I add this comment to the current thread or should I start a new one? Has anyone covered the Monk tunes that had lyrics added In the early 60's Columbia considered releasing a vocal Monk album - Martin Williams, Joe Goldberg & Margo Guryan added lyrics to some of TM's compositions - We See, Let's Cool One, Worry Later, Let's Call This, Nutty Also Jon Hendricks was enlisted to write lyrics. Neither of these projects came to fruition. Has anyone recorded these vocal versions in the last 50 years?

Just picked up "On the Beach" on vinyl the other day and am quite enjoying it. Definitely of its time, but enjoyable, like the missing link between Sun Ra and Earth, Wind and Fire. I think "On The Beach" is the same as the eponymous "Artistic Heritage Ensemble" (Zulu 004), but I may be wrong here? - On the Beach is one of the titles on this LP BTW Thanks for all of the info

I'm interested in picking up some of his releases, particularly "Malcolm X Memorial" & "Artistic Heritage Ensemble" Are the recent Katalyst releases legit? What about sound quality Any comments appreciated

Totally missed out on this Trema vol. 3 release Did not pay enough attention to it when this was released. So many Monk concerts came out around that time and the majority of them were plain reissues. That vol. 3 looks like the real thing! Trema was a label that was part of the Europe 1 radio station company. The Monk March 1965 concerts were organized by Europe 1! What are the titles on this disc? - are they the same as the above Laserlight issue?

This is what I have In 2002 Laserlight issued the "concerts" on 3 CD's -> were these duplicates of the Trema issues? 1. Double "box" containing 2CD's claiming to be the two March 6 concerts (CD 36150 - 17425/17426) Disc 1 (was this the 1st concert?) Evidence Blue Monk Four In One Sweet & Lovely Rhythm-A-Ning Epistrophy Disc 2 (was this the 2nd concert or is it actually part of the March 7 concert?) Well You Need'n't I'm Getting Sentimental Over You Teo Bright Mississippi Epistrophy 2. Single CD claiming to be the March 7 concert (CD 17250) Rhythm-A-Ning (Actually April 18, 1961) Body & Soul (Actually April 18, 1961) I Mean You (Actually April 18, 1961) April In Paris (Actually April 18, 1961) Well You Need'n't Bright Mississippi Epistrophy I've discussed this anomaly with Robin Kelley - he also has the "wrong" titles on his sessionography Also, the concerts are reviewed in the Jazz Hot Mag (#208 - March 65 - was referenced in Robin's recent Monk tome) -> I would have to pay 15 Euros to download a copy of this mag!! - anyone out there who can get access to this?

Not sure if this has been discussed before I have detected an anomaly in the March 6/7, 1965 Paris Olympia concerts, with the help of the HowardM online discography (http://www.howardm.net/tsmonk/tsmonk2.php) Four titles from the March 7 broadcast (Rhythm-a-ning, Body & Soul solo, I mean You & April In Paris solo) are the same as those from the April 18, 1961 Paris concert (Riverside release - in Riverside box set) I have listened to these titles from both sources & they appear audibly identical (timings are also close to identical - some applause has been removed from the Riverside releases). I presume these titles were accidentally broadcast with the later date & have subsequently been left as part of this concert in discographies. It therefore appears we only have three "genuine" titles from the 7th concert - Well You Needn't, Bright Mississippi & Epistrophy. Some discographies list these concerts as May 23, 1965. Also, some list the second 6th concert as the 7th. There appears to be general confusion re these releases. The Thelonious label CD/DVD release (9316) from the early 2000's includes these titles as part of the March 7th concert - seems that the anomaly is being perpetuated. Any comments?

so it was never released on vinyl in the 70's ?

Any Nathan Davis is most welcome although this polydor LP has had one or two CD issues already

There are three trumpet/flugelhorn players on this session Lee Morgan, Burt Collins, Joe Shepley Some discographies list LM as playing on Popi (Blue Note, Lord, Masayana Matsumura) while the Jazz Discography Project omits him from this track I presume it's only ever been released as the b side of the single? Even listening to the title to discern LM may be tricky due to the number of trumpet players present

This is a long shot but I thought I'd try here I recently found a copy of Woody Shaw's "Last Of the Line" 32 Jazz double CD - ordered via Amazon Unfortunately Disc one was actually Disc one of "Dark Journey", a compilation The dealer has refunded my & let me keep the uneven set. I was just wondering if anyone out there has a spare copy of disc 1 (its the Muse "Cassandrite" LP/CD + a title from a Joe Chambers LP) I'd be happy to pay $$ or trade.

Thanks for that

I'm looking for the David X Young 2 CD set I saw someone advertising this a few weeks ago (on this site)but can't find the topic Can you go beyond the last 3 pages of listings I've done a general search for David X Young & have been unsuccesful so far

What's the serial number?

There's also one called "1976" on the Candid site - maybe it's an unreleased session - not listed in the Lord Discography

Flurin I have to agree The Copenhagen concent is wonderful - just listened to it this weekend (downloaded it from your site) I thought that the Stockholm & Copenhagen concerts were going to be on the new Hat CD but then realised it is listed as Berlin/Stockholm (had another look at the Hat site) - why double up with the AA box?

Same here - the Ayler, Braxton (Willisau) & Taylor (Garden) have been on that list for at least 2 years

Excuse me for appearing ignorant but how do you tell the difference? I've never purchased a commercially available CDr before I bought most of my Candids (except the Whynots) in the 90's - were they releasing CDr's then?

Not sure if a thread has already been commenced on this wonderful label Over the past 2 years or so Candid (UK) have been releasing titles from this mid to late 70's Japanese label (some were recorded in the 80's & released on other labels). I've picked up eight of these, mostly the predictable titles - Air, Walt Dickerson, Ted Curson, Don Pullen (wasn't a Whynot LP release), Muhal Richard Abrams but recently I had a go at two of the more obscure artists ie Monty Waters & Charles Sullivan - both have a very small recorded legacy (Sullivan was also released on Strata East which was reissued on Inner City - currently available) but both of these sessions are tremendous. Charles Sullivan sounds a tad like Woody Shaw. Wonder why these guys never had greater exposure? Other releases include Chico Freeman - Lord Riff & Me, Morning Prayer Donald Smith - Luv George Cables - Why Not Joe Lee Wilson - Shout For Trane Joseph Bonner - Triangle Kenny Barron - Live Manhattan Graffiti Four - MG4 Sonny Fortune - Invitation Walt Dickerson - 1976 Any comments on these releases would be most welcome

It's the next Transparency release - was originally planned as a 4CD set , then 14 but has now blown out to 20CD set HELLO ! Part One of 'The Eternal Myth Revealed' will be at the CD pressing plant and book printer/binder in two weeks -- and I have recently been told that the album will be about TWENTY CDs (rather than the previously estimated fourteen discs). Sun Ra Archive editor Michael Anderson has slightly expanded his excellent project demo to 56 minutes -- now on two handy Youtube links (directly below my signature here.). Most definitely worth spending an hour with. Thanks to all who have ordered this box set --- and as release date approaches, we really need for EVERY person reading this to order the album. Please listen to the demo and get back to me! --- PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE CHARGING A HIGHER PRICE FOR THE TWENTY-CD VERSION OF THE ALBUM. This is still advance offered to mail order customers for just $65 plus shipping. (Please see the paypal ordering info at the end of this e-mail.) All the best, Michael Sheppard / Transparency Does anyone know how to sign up for the email? Sorry about not putting contact details (email) here - looks like I've been beaten to it anyway I've been dealing directly with Michael (Transparency) for the past 2 years or so - usually prepay (helps finance the pressing) & we receive the discs before the issue is released to the shops Also, his prices are a bit less than what the dealers/shops charge

Totally agree - all of the Art Yard releases (originally Saturns with extra tracks from the sessions) have great sound quality I'm currently listening to the two CD Art Yard/Kindred Spirits set - Live At The Theatre Du Chatelet 1971 (Paris) - one hell of a live set & stunning sound to boot My Favourite Transpariencies are 1. Detroit Jazz Residency 80/81 -28 CD -> need to be in for the long haul to listen to this 2. Live Toronto 78 + Interview - 10 CD 3. Live Electric Circus 68 & Newport Jazz Festival 69 - 2 CD 4. Sun Ra All Stars 1983 - 5CD (includes Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Lester Bowie, Famoudou Don Moye, Philly Joe Jones, Richard Davis) 5. Helsinki 71 - - 2CD + DVD (great footage) 6. Live Rome 1980 - 2 CD 7. Live Slugs Saloon 72 - 6 CD 8. Live London 70 - 2CD
