I saw those Universals in stores some weeks ago. They look splendid. Very nicely done. I'll be picking some of these up as soon as budget allows...

I know that. I think he wrote 3 anti-semitic pamphlets and was indicted by the French courts for that. It was before WWII. I couldn't find any information on the web that would be at least a little bit more descriptive than that. Especially the part about him being a Nazi collaborator. maybe brownie knows more. AFAIK he wrote Bagatelles pour un masacre in 1937, L'école des cadavres in 1938; both of these were banned in 1939, in spite of their success. Soon after the German occupation started, the ban was lifted and in 1941 he wrote Les beaux draps. During the war he seems to have socialised with Germans and antisemites. He published several letters and articles in newspapers. I have no knowledge about more than that; no overt collaboration in any other sense than agreeing with some nevertheless very abject ideas. Many artists and normal people who continued working throughout the war and were not at all in agreement with the nazi ideology were later charged with collaboration. It was a wide "blanket charge." Heck, in Belgium they even tried to have comic artist Hergé sued for collaboration only because he, like many others, followed the King's order to continue working and keep the country and its people alive.

LFC was an overt anti-semite who wrote several very nasty pamphlets and articles in the years just before and also during the occupation.

working on that!

Please phrase it as a question! shouldn't that be: "could you please phrase it as a question?"

After someone pointed out that a previous incarnation* of the Atlantic Tristano album that paired "Lennie Tristano" with "The New Tristano" did not sound so good**, I popped in the recent reissue "Lennie Tristano" album*** to check that assertion. I don't think it sounds bad at all. Not superb, but very nice, inobtrusive, a little hisss, some minor distortion, but also quite a bit of detail. Good enough for me and for a 1956 live (or even overdubbed) recording. So what's the deal? Does anybody know whether these are indeed brand new remasters? I do expect something happened between 1994 and 2004, but saw there has been a 1998 reissue as well. How do these new reissues compare to the former ones? I remember reading some remarks about the "Ornette!" album sounding better than ever, somewhere on this board, well hidden as a casual side-remark probably. I hear the Mosaic T/K/M set sounds better... * this one: Rhino/Atlantic 1994 (US) ** later backing out a little as maybe over critical of the sound quality... *** this one: Warner/Atlantic 2003 (Germany) **** this one: Warner/Atlantic 1998 don't you just love footnotes?

a heck, three weeks late...
