What do you make of it? I bought it recently and rate it some

Ran Wehrli, Domenic Landolf or Marcel Lüscher on bass clarinet?

Toshiyuki Miyama & The New Herd first listen, sounding great. Thanks @Rabshakeh

Two albums I really like but I know that's not a universally held view (felser, iirc?). I have LPs so don't know the CD set which makes this contribution pretty pointless, sorry Pim

You wouldn't know, that's the "fun" of RSD it's the pull factor to the physical shop on the chance, as described by Sidewinder, that they have title you want that was the initial premise of the day. To get folk to visit shops again. It's become just a mega marketing jamboree now with labels like Resonance doing these ridiculous release runs to exploit the day. I've always managed to buy what I want online, at standard prices, after the online sales curfew is lifted. Never queued in person.

My understanding is that the entire point of RSD is that you turn up on the day hence all the queues. This is premised on a 'no advance reservations' policy which is widely advertised. Whether individual outlets choose to adhere to this policy is a different matter. I suspect your shop owner isn't advertising his preparedness to reserve very loudly as I suspect he'd be cut out of future RSDs. So in essence, not kosher by the stipulated rules of RSD as I understand them but kosher by any kind of 'keep the punters happy' rules introduced locally. If he's a kosher kind of guy

Discussing McCoy Milestones on the same thread, so this

Mine too, for the same reason

Oh wow, that cover takes me back. I should listen to the music again sometime Listening now. 37 years ago....

I don't know that one but I'm playing it now, thanks

This again

Those nice shelves are looking fuller I've never quite got why 'Glass Bead Games' has the reputation it has. I have tried to re-evaluate it so many times but to no avail. Maybe I need this edition rather than the Charly CD I much prefer 'Clifford Jordan In The World'

Interesting to read your impressions of the IE album. I'm a big fan of the first two and haven't really connected with the new one nearly as much. For me it lacks the laser focus of the earlier ones and meanders a bit. I appreciate it but don't love it like the others. I have also reached Shipp and Parker saturation so intrigued to hear this one is worth visiting, thanks

Does it really matter? In the end it's new Mingus music that hasn't seen the light of day before. How they choose to promote seems pretty secondary to me. Just semantics. I'm excited by the prospect of being able to hear this.

Somewhat bizarrely the three tracks appear to be priced at $1 each if purchased separately on Bandcamp. I only purchased Autumn/Parade as I have the original LP.

the 'new' material

Another big fan of that Osby here

Space Afrika - Honest Labour

This was new to me. Enjoyed it enough to buy a copy. Thanks for posting

Thank you. My BC search didn't find it for some reason

is this on Bandcamp? I can't seem to find a download link anywhere - but that's probably me being a bit dim

Really enjoying this one. Some very fine clarinet on some of the tracks

I was bemoaning this only the other day in the "Vinyl now playing thread" as I'd received the b&w edition of James Moody's 'Great Day' when I'd ordered the early pressing. so instead of this lovely cover I got this The music still sounds great but... I had wondered if it were something to do with export but obviously not
