Don't hold your breath.

I didn't realize "Feio" from Complete Bitches Brew Sessions and "Moto Grosso Feio" is the same composition. Nice! I like both, but they're really different. It's a real shame those Shorter's late albums for Blue Note have been o.o.p. so long. Real under-appreciated gems they are. I've been listening to Odyssey of Iska and Moto Grosso Feio a lot lately. "Montezuma" must be one of Shorter's loveliest compositions. I wonder if this session with Wayne, Miroslav, McCoy etc. from around the same time ever gets released...

Muzak is just the name of the label. If you look at their catalogue, it's really no muzak at all.

This is a good news indeed. If they'd get Arild Andersen's "Lifelines" re-issued as well. That's the one with Paul Motian, Kenny Wheeler and Steve Dobrogosz. Meantime, I see Carla Bley's "Tropic Appetites," an absolutely splendid album for WATT / ECM, has gone out of print, and fetches obscene money on amazon shops.

1.Original producer and designer are not mentioned 2.Photo's are credited to "Mr.X" ; Specifically the Sam Rivers photograph was lifted from wikipedia, where it is credited to Tom Marcello. 3.The Black Africa! liner notes contain this telling phrase (quoted from memory): "Exactly why Horo never reissued this remains a mystery..." Bootlegs or not? I'd say they are, But this does not mean I'm not glad Atomic released them. I would have been happy to buy the product directly from Horo, but truth is, they failed to release it in reasonable time, and now someone has beat them to it.
