romualdo

was really hoping for a Black Saint CD box set of Spearman's work when those BN/SN boxes were in full swing - 4 CDs under his own name & four (IIRC) with others (Trio Hurricane & ROVA)

just saw this thread: I've also been following these new Red rereleases (with a bit of confusion) since I saw the CD/LP listings on the Jazz Messengers site but not finding the Joe Henderson CD with three extra tracks (these apparantly have been previously released according to the Lord Discog - different label though) on the Red site. Also, when you click on the Sam Rivers CD link in the new release page it goes to another artist. Don't think they've revamped their website well enough. I suspect Jazz Messengers jumped the gun especially re the Joe Henderson set.

Honest Jons in the UK is a great source for jamaican/West Indian music (including jazz) - their series "London Is The Place For Me" is worth picking up https://honestjons.com/shop/search/london_is_the_place_for_me They also carry a great range of Brit improv/avant jazz - they've rereleased quite a bit of the UK Incus label (including previously unreleased material) on their vinyl imprint

Second that one too & so would Stonewall (Dan S - another board member), both of us having communicated with Jack Chambers in the past BTW Jack's bio of Dick T was published in 2008 https://www.amazon.com/Bouncin-Bartok-Incomplete-Richard-Twardzik/dp/1551281414 looks like it's OOP though second hand copies are circulating

have played the box twice now & no issues you describe BUT some of those discs are (again) tricky to remove without snapping them, especially the "inside" ones

that's one of the 4 (of 38) that I never picked up - why didn't it appeal to you?

you won't find it under Tapscott - it's listed under Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra

It's a Blue Moon (Sp) release - under the umbrella of Fresh Sounds? - currently OOP https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/clyde-bernahrdt-ike-lloyd-sylvestre-mike-freddie-strong-albums/554-the-complete-recordings-1945-1953-vol2.html?search_query=clyde+bernhardt&results=3

truly amazing set - 32 years old now AFAIK it's the only way you can source official CD versions of the Clyde Bernhardt/Kansas City Buddies & Pigmeat Markham/Jimmy Shirley sessions (both only ever previously released as 78s) or have they been released on some individual TOCJ CDs?

interesting 11 min Claes Dahlgren interview (possibly his first recorded) with Cecil Taylor during a break at his 5 Spot stint in '59 From Lewis Porter's site https://lewisporter.substack.com/p/cecil-taylors-first-recorded-interview

Great reasonably recent (2021) article on Albach, Tapscott, PAPA & Nimbus West https://www.analogplanet.com/content/horace-tapscott-tom-albach-and-story-nimbus-west-records

That's what initially suggested (to me) that the ezzthetics series was legit, these early previously unissued releases

The Mosaic experience!!! my JATP set finally arrived after over a month of shipping time - the third Asendia fiasco (last three Mosaic orders) When I ordered the recent Sam Rivers book/discography from the states it took 5 days. I doubt if Dusty Groove will get any copies of a run of 250 - wasn't willing to take the chance - they should have created at least 500 to 1000 copies

wow!! this thread has been going (on & off) for almost 20 years BTW I have a decent slice of Walt's material on CD (Verve Elite, Prestige/NJ/OJC, Steeplechase, Whynot/Candid)

Yep, I have a recording of their collaboration at the BBC Studios - must have been round the same time

Lloyd Swanton has played on many australian jazz recordings since the early 80s (on quite a few of the Bernie McGann sessions/releases) Would love to check out Cafe Oto especially if Evan Parker played - he's on my bucket list - London beckons I'm a huge fan of the Brit (& Euro) Improv scene I was actually born in London & family migrated to Australia in 1961

So long since I played it, can't remember - recorded in Russia will have to give it a spin were you aware that Tony Buck played/recorded with Tarasov from the Ganelin Trio (one of my fav jazz combos)

That's a hard call - I have everything they've released (CD & vinyl) but I don't have one I go back to & play more than any of the others

was able to do an international (Australia) purchase today

sorry to disappoint but I'm one of those rare Australians who has no interest in cricket - here's a story for you: a few years back when I was working as an emergency veterinarian at the University of Queensland Veterinary Emergency clinic, Alan Border came in with his dog - I called him Greg much to the ongoing ridicule & bemusement of my colleagues. The nurses would call me Greg from then on.

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).
