The reason for the cancellation was perhaps not as much EU regulations as the extreme character of the piece. Feiler wrote it with the atmosphere of siege of the Jenin camp in mind and it features - among other things - an amplified bass flute "under siege from the orchestra". Reportedly, he offered to transpose a few piccola parts an octave down, but it was not enough to bring down the sound levels.

'Blue Flame', 'Red Hot' and 'White Heat' are being reissued by Universal as a 2 CD set on May 6th. Not Clarke-Boland Big Band discs (they were recorded in 1976 with Kenny Clare on drums), but nice nevertheless.

Only a few tracks I believe, but most of "Seeds" is on that one. And Shihab's 1963 Argo album is scattered around "Those Cats" and the Clarke-Boland collection "Calypso Blues" (also on Rearward). There were a few albums with more or less the same lineup (Johnny Griffin's "Lady Heavy Bottom's Waltz" also features the Clarke/Boland/Woode rhythm section, and Åke Persson as well), several of which were reissued by Rearward some years back, but each session was always spread around. "Griff 'n Bags", nominally a Johnny Griffin compilation, was another one in that series.

I've made an addition to my latest addition... in this colour. Something must have gone wrong when I pasted the latest additions. Thanks to what must be the foremost expert on Japanese reissues on this forum these days the mistake has now been corrected.

There are several steps down the road to get there, and I think it gets unpleasant way before that. I agree 100 percent with this post from ejp: It displays the main reason why I don't come by here all that often anymore; I had thought of this before the OP thread as well.

Ditto, though I used your email address as listed in some other thread.

Yeah, thanks for these five years! I've learned a lot here.

The Steeplechases for auction from that eBay seller are from 2002 (cat. no. VACS). Not that I understand how all these Japanese CDs are suddenly turning up in China.

Watched Maria conducting the Swedish "Bohuslän Big Band" yesterday night. It was a great performance. She was keen to point out which album of hers the different compositions were from, and that if anyone wants to find her on the web we should type in www.mariaschneider.com rather than do a Google search, because then we would get "the other one".

Thanks for letting us know, Late. And nice to see you here, BTW! Now, I'm not here much these days, but...

This LP is now being offered at eBay.de ( link ) and from the scans it appears that there's a chorus present, which would count that one out (Pauer is also listed as playing only electric piano).

Though I'm aware that this album has been mentioned in other threads which I can't find at the moment, I'm using this thread to post that what is probably my all time favourite solo piano recording, "Have You Met Hank Jones" (Savoy, 1956), finally has been released on CD (by Fresh Sound). Might be a needle drop, though you'll never know until you've heard it, of course... Fresh Sound link

Congrats!

Sometimes a bit rambling, and Steve Allen's introduction is... well, but there are also a few fine moments with Bill at the piano (starting a few minutes into part 2): The Universal Mind of Bill Evans Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

A kind and reliable person told me these are (most probably repressed) RVG remasters.

Happy BD, CT!

FWIW, I did send an email to Chick Corea through his website back in 2004, asking about the session w/ Swallow and Haynes, but so far - guess what - no reply...

no, but it's also not necessarily fair to a musician/group to have some of their best work kept OOP for years or decades. Not everything is fair in a market economy. And nothing is for free... Any way you put it, file sharing is still in conflict with traditional laws and rules. Of course, when too many people are thinking otherwise, something might happen. But just the ease with which digital music files can be copied is not the right incentive for rewriting intellectual property law. There's much to take into account; what to do with copyright in general, how will it affect patent law, trademark rights etc.

I'm quite sure Chuck is not volunteerly keeping things OOP. But your argument is another example of the view that the public is somehow entitled to a music recording, regardless of what the rightsholder does. It's not necessarily good for future sales or the prospect of a future reissue that a recording is circulated on the Internet. There's no easy way out of the current situation, and I'm not saying that the issue is just black and white. Speaking of copyrights, I don't know many musicians who do not own a copy of the old, illegal "Real Book".

I find this to be the case many times. I've had fruitless arguments with (younger) people who seem to think that it is their "right" to download any music they want, because it belongs to "everybody". Trying to convince them that the artists should get paid is a waste of time. And I'm fully convinced that Marcello is right. Downloading will not go away; the business will have to try other ways of getting something out of people's apparent need for more music. Intellectual property law is used as a justification for going after individual file sharers, and personally I can't see why music should be treated differently than books, paintings etc., areas where the idea of the law is still somehow widely accepted. But if the original idea was that the rightsholder should get proper compensation - rather than total control of distribution - there may perhaps be another way to write the law. Right now, the law is not working properly anymore. As I've posted before, full price CDs are well over $30 in the stores here.

I think it was reissued on some kind of semi-bootleg label called "Up Front" or thereabouts, though.

Dima, hope you're doing fine - happy birthday!
