Will Dogon A.D. be released this year?.. I don't want to seem impatient ..but i am curious.Thanks.

I was lucky enough to get the cd of Archie Shepp-Live(Life) at Donauschingen Music Festival many years ago.I know lots of folks that would love to see that get a proper release.What a concert-from 1967-Shepp,Grachan Moncur and Roswell Rudd on trombones,Jimmy Garrison -bass, Beaver Harris-drums.Why MPS doesn't re-release that is beyond me,they've been releasing other older titles. Looking forward to Dogon A.D. coming out in a few months.Another chestnut.

Good news-Walt Dickerson- 1976-originally released on WhyNot way back when, is coming out on cd this month on Candid.The tracks are(if i read the notes correctly) a duo with Jamaladeen Tacuma(then Rudy McDaniel) on electric bass; a solo vibes track; and three trios with Wilbur Ware-bass and Edgar Bateman-drums.Very curious about this because i never owned it on vinyl,and if i knew it existed back then i would have snapped it up.

Seconding the Bill Lewis-Khan Jamal-The River post.

Titles i'd love to see on cd: Ornette Coleman-Crisis-one of the great live concerts.I've been told that Ornette owns the copyright/masters on this.If true,i hope this sees the light of day soon.The world needs to hear just how superb this record is. Several titles released in the 70's on Jef Gilson's Palm label... 1.Byard Lancaster-Us-with Sylvain Marc-electric bass and Steve McCall-drums 2.Khan Jamal-Give The Vibes Some-i recall a trumpet player on one track and the rest solo vibes by Khan. 3.Bakaida E.J. Carroll-Orange Fish Tears-with Oliver Lake,Nana Vasconcelos and a keyboard player whose name escapes me.
