  1. Does anyone have any info in Nick DiGeronimo? I was listening to a him on a Cyrille recording and a little bit of googling didn't turn up much. He's a fine player but seems to only have recorded with Maono and that's it. He's on a recording from the Willisau Jazz Festival 1978 and Cyrille introduces him and says he met him through Nick's brother, a drummer and that they are from New Jersey.

    Anyone?

    Thanks, carville

  2. I'll concur. Discogs is a good place. Many happy purchases and some good bargains. Just keep an eye on seller feedback ratings and you should be OK

    enjoy the Mitchell

    ^^

    Positive feedback generally equals positive experience on discogs. I've bought and sold hundreds of items there. With the dollar strong against the Euro there are some great deals to be had.

    I bought my copy of the Roscoe there several years ago.

  3. Just read this thread for the first time and succumbed to the impulse to place an order at jazz messengers for:

    NEW YORK CONTEMPORARY FIVE - CONSEQUENCES

    TED CURSON - URGE

    MARION BROWN - JUBA-LEE

    NEW YORK ART QUARTET -MOHAWK

    There is a reason I am can never dig myself out of the hole ... :wacko:

    Fellow wacko supports your purchase!

  4. It's a great bonus cd! You could ask recommended if there are any left. I did and they sent me one.

    Bonus CD

    A Cow Cabinet of Curiosities

    A limited edition[29] CD given to subscribers of the box set. The title alludes to the name of Bob Drake's band, Cabinet of Curiosities.

    "Pre Virgin Demo 1/2" include fragments that were later incorporated into tracks on Legend. "Lovers of Gold" is an alternate version of "Beginning: The Long March" from In Praise of Learning that was created by Chris Cutler.[30] "The Glove" is derived from raw material recorded during the Unrest sessions.[30]

    "Unidentified Improvisation 2" (Cooper, Cutler, Frith, Greaves, Hodgkinson, Krause) – 5:37

    "Unidentified late composition" (probably Cooper) – 2:04

    Track notes

    Tracks 1,2 were recorded in Henry Cow's rehearsal space by Jack Balchin, probably 1972

    Tracks 3–6 were extracted from a forgotten tape from 1975–77 which surfaced while this box set was being compiled[nb 2]

    Track 7 is an out-take from In Praise of Learning mixed by Tim Hodgkinson at Cold Storage in 1984; previously issued on the 1991 CD (remixed) edition of In Praise of Learning

    Tracks 8–10 were recorded at a public concert for NDR Jazz Workshop, Hamburg, 26 March 1976

    Track 11 recorded at a public concert at Sendesaal, Studio F, Radio Bremen, 22 March 1978, produced by Bernd Meier

    Track 12 is an extract from an Unrest out-take mixed by Tim Hodgkinson at Cold Storage in 1984; previously issued in full (6:35) on the 1991 CD edition of Unrest

  5. I ordered the 4 CD set with Rainey & Fujiwara.

    I saw that box at the Braxton concert but didn't pull the trigger :blush: (now you have to be a member to get it). Anyway, would still like to get it. Would be interested in reactions to it. One question I had about it was whether Braxton played duos with each drummer, or with both drummers at the same time, since the album is called "Trio (New Haven) 2013," or both? I've not seen that clarified anywhere.

    It's a Trio. They al play together.

    I got the new 12 cd set a few days ago. That one is all duets.

    I'm truly a diehard Braxton fan, and for me his playing is my favorite aspect of his work. We get to hear lots of him on these smaller groupings.

  6. I wonder if they used the DMG CD-R's? I have the DMG "Juba Lee" and it sounds good (enough) too.

    PS: I don't mean the actual CD-rs, just as a digital source.

    There were some cd issues of this series in japan circa 1990.

    http://www.discogs.com/label/303834-Fontana-New-Jazz-Series

    I would guess DMG used these CDs as their source. Perhaps this label too?

    I have Blood from that old series. I saw some of the others in Tower Records in NYC. Still kicking myself over not getting them.

  7. Listening to Juba Lee. It sounds nice, I don't think it's a needle drop. I also really don't think these are Japanese. There is no bar code, address or any record company info other than on the obi. On there all it says is Cool Music and a catalog number.

    Also the cds themselves are in plain white cardboard sleeve in the mini lp (gatefolds by the way). Not usual for any japanese reissue I've gotten so far.

    I can't say I'm disappointed in these as I have been looking for them for years. Let's hope they reissue the rest.

  8. I got mine from jazzmessengers today. All four. They have obi strips and are in mini lp sleeves. I'm thinking from the look of them they are Korean in origin as they remind me of some other Korean reissues I have in look and feel.

    I'll report back shortly on sound and anything else I find. Haven't opened them yet.

  9. I'm looking for the box set of The Collection: Children at Play/Family Affair/Bracknell Breakdown/in Conference/Down South. It's a long shot, even though the set was available in 2000, but is long out of print. I missed the boat on this one, but if anyone has a bead on this please send me a PM.

    It took me 7 years to find a copy, but I just bought one on discogs for $95. A bargain I think. NM throughought even though the seller called it VG-VG+. It originally came out in 1999 during a period when I was not buying too many cds and by the time I realized I better grab it. sold out. I only ever once saw it for sale and that was on a DMG mailing list with just the 3 cds and covers (no box/book) for $60 and I missed that one by seconds.

    I have found pretty much every major oop cd I was looking for, there are still a few I am keeping an eye out for. But this for me was the find of the year! The only reason I am posting is to remind everyone and myself that perseverance does indeed pay off!

    Who's the additional alto player on the photo on the back, there's Dudu facing the camera and an alto on each of his sides, both, uhm, palefaces (beardy times, huh?) ... Mike Osborne to the left, and to the right, Elton Dean? So this photo is from another concert?

    Elton Dean for sure, so the photo must be from another concert.

    This is an excellent release!

  11. No, I am in Connecticut. No good stores near me. But I love squidco for their prices ans selection. Plus ridiculously cheap shipping. I wish they were near me!

    Yes I am! It has been difficult to get there between 12 and 6 when I'm in the mood for Rogue etc. these past few years. I will be making more of an effort here now. Are you in Wilmington?
