ThanksBev - I have just ordered Abstract from Amazon for £8.99 ( & 'Shades of Blue for a very reasonable £10.99). If memory serves me correctly Soweto Kinch & Gary Crosby showcased Joe Harriott's work for Radio 3 as part of the recent London Jazz festival (I think I have it on a mini disc ). I'm looking forward to the 2nd volume of Impressed , the first one was one of my favourite cds of last year.

I was very suprised to read in my local evening paper recently that Joe Harriott is buried a few miles from where i was born & raised . I like the few snippets i've heard of his work, any recommendations?

323.5 - How you post the image ?

Great to see you Bev.

I received this Email today from KV's website - NOTES FROM THE FIELD: February 2004 This is the first edition of an ongoing monthly article focusing on updates concerning my past and future work: details regarding concerts, tours, recordings and releases. I hope that you find the information interesting and informative! -Ken Vandermark FALL 2003 Starting with the end of August, the end of last year was an exceptionally busy time. Rehearsals ran for the new large band project, The CRISIS ENSEMBLE (Jeb Bishop: trombone, Josh Berman: cornet, Dave Rempis: saxophones, Aram Shelton: reeds, Fred Lonberg-Holm: cello, Kent Kessler: bass, Jason Ajemian: basses, Tim Daisy: drums, Frank Rosaly: drums, myself: reeds), in preparation for a concert at the Chicago Jazz Festival on the 30th of August. In the middle of this period, the new reed trio with Peter Brötzmann and Mats Gustafsson performed in Mulhouse, France. Immediately following, during the first week of September, the group ZU (from Italy) collaborated with SPACEWAYS INC. on a quartet/sextet project called Radiale that will be released on Atavistic in early spring. The quartet music was comprised of new, original material put together by ZU and myself; the sextet music documented the compositions the double trio performed during its European tour in May, 2003: “Theme De Yoyo” (by the Art Ensemble of Chicago), some Funkadelic compositions- “Trash A Go Go,” “Me And My Folks/You And Your Folks,” and Sun Ra’s “We Travel The Spaceways” and “Space Is The Place,” among others. After this, the PETER BRÖTZMANN CHICAGO TENTET worked on a project in Bern, Switzerland and Karlsruhe, Germany involving a piece composed for the first time by someone outside of the band, Michael Wertmüller. This was followed by new work and recording by the duo with Paal Nilssen-Love in Norway. Our work together led to a double cd worth of material (studio and live) that will be released by Smalltownsupersound this spring. I stayed in Norway for another week after the duo project with Paal to perform concerts with FREE FALL in celebration of the release of our first album, Furnace (Wobbly Rail). I returned to Chicago for a couple weeks in the beginning of October to perform with the VANDERMARK 5, Mat Maneri, and Joe Morris, then went back to Europe for a series of tours that lasted until the end of November: the reed trio with Brötzmann and Gustafsson; a couple of concerts by the TENTET in Tampere, Finland and Vasterås, Sweden; the VANDERMARK 5; and SCHOOL DAYS. It was an amazing series of trips, ranging from clubs to festivals, and taking place all over the continent and the UK. I’d like to thank all the people involved in making those concerts possible: musicians, listeners, presenters, and Erhard Hessling for co-ordinating the tours. At the beginning of December FME hit the road in the States, playing ten concerts before returning to Chicago to record an album of new material with Bob Weston at Semaphore. Those recordings will be put out by Okka Disk in the end of April, in time for FME’s tour of Europe. Also in December, Peter Brötzmann and I mixed the TENTET material documented at the end of our last North American tour (2002), and played a concert together in Milwaukee with Kent Kessler and Hamid Drake. The new Tentet material will be released by Okka Disk in the end of March as two cds, including live material from the concert in November in Vasterås. January has been of month of work finishing projects and getting prepared for what’s ahead. The ATOMIC/SCHOOL DAYS double cd, Nuclear Assembly Hall, was mastered for release by Okka Disk in the end of March. The FME album, Underground, was mixed, and the third TERRITORY BAND album, Map Theory, was mixed as a double cd for Okka Disk- this will come out in the end of summer to anticipate the re-grouping of the ensemble in Chicago in September. Another major project that reached finalization was the program for a new music festival in Athens, GA that I was asked to curate, ACME. With the extraordinary help of Julie Powell and Erik Hinds I’ve been able to organize what I believe is an exceptional lineup: -April 1, Thursday ATOMIC, PETER BRÖTZMANN/NASHEET WAITS DUO, AD HOC GROUP ORGANIZED BY JOE MORRIS. -April 2, Friday JOE MORRIS SOLO, THE THING & JOE MCPHEE, AD HOC GROUP ORGANIZED BY PETER BRÖTZMANN, ATOMIC/SCHOOL DAYS. -April 3, Saturday (AFTERNOON) FREE FALL, TRIAGE, JOE MCPHEE SOLO. (EVENING) VANDERMARK 5, JOE MANERI TRIO, AD HOC GROUP ORGANIZED BY KENT KESSLER, PETER BRÖTZMANN CHICAGO TENTET. -April 4, Sunday (AFTERNOON) SCHOOL DAYS, JOE/MAT MANERI DUO, PETER BRÖTZMANN CHICAGO TENTET. Look for more details at the website! In February I’m returning to an active performance schedule, concerts with Joe Morris in a quintet with Nate McBride, Luther Gray, Joe McPhee, and a quartet with Mark Dresser, Gerry Hemingway on the east coast; the VANDERMARK 5, CAFFEINE, and the CRISIS ENSEMBLE in Chicago. Also, for the first time in more than a year, the DKV TRIO will be playing a show (Milwaukee). All concert details will be on the website

HOW MUCH ????????? I think I'll just wait for the Conns/RVGS!

Oh yes! Its a cracking programme.

Sorry to be boring but I really cannot choose , they are all too good to seperate.

The minidisc player is at the ready.

I promised myself this year I'd only by the new Selects & the bigger sets only when they are on the running low list (I spent far too much on CDs last year). But with the pound being so strong against the dollar at the moment I'm trying not think I'm being a fool to myself not to buy any now ! But any one of these would do nicely - Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Elvin Jones Wynton Kelly/Paul Chambers Lee Morgan/Wayne Shorter Gerry Mulligan Max Roach Sonny Stitt

Yes for me also - i have a couple of clicks & it slows right down.

Any particular memories you wouldn't mind indulging us in John?

Oh no! Does this me i have to keep hunting for the Ayler tree that was about recently?? I dont suppose anybody on the board can help me with that one?

Great post Matthew - Thanks. I've been playing the Complete Greenwich Village recordings recently - great stuff. Now how long is it the till box set is out ??

I have still to unwrap my copy of Adams Apple from last years RVG release - I'm saving it for a rainy day - the way this vote is going I might have to forget about the rainy day.

I'm having problems getting on the board at various times today.

likewise. I'm really loking forward to hearing this set. I've never heard Seven Steps to Heaven, either, but that's not exciting me as much, for some reason. I played both of the these this morning - the Sam Rivers CD is most enjoyable & it makes you wonder how the band would have deveoped if Sam had stayed for longer. The Seven Steps to Heaven CD, although not classic Miles, except for the title track its not a Cd I've played a lot of, was a lot better than I remember .

I've just checked the board rules & I think its ok if we mention covers & spines as well as the music! I thought we were discussing what was in the Legacy Email , or should we ignore the bits that dont involve the music?

sorry for the confusion Lon. I agree about the spines - they look great on the shelf. I was a bit disapointed the email doesnt really hint at when the new box is comming out.

ah Lon got there first - can you delete this thread please B3er

I've just had this Email from Legacy about the next Miles box but it doesn't really say alot (except that there going to stop the metal spined editions) Miles Davis News February 2004 + Seven Steps To Berlin Box Information (#3 in the series) + Metal Spine Series Update + Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Love Songs!
