Christoph Erb is a new name to me. Anybody heard him? Lots of good people on his releases. Erb is Swiss, but spends a lot of time in Chicago. His Veto releases have always struck me as being of the "let's get some guys in studio for a few hours and just roll the tape" type of free improv w/o much forethought as to what they were going to do. They're sort of the modern free improv version of '50s blowing sessions albums -- not bad, but certainly no one's best work. Of the Veto releases I've heard the best one was Erb's album w/ Keefe with two bass clarinets and two cellos -- name of it completely escapes me at the moment.Scott Thanks for that input.

"Glass houses" syndrome here. Some of you need to "chillax" as my granddaughter would say. BTW, I'm a big fan. Seeing Art in person was always great, & FWIW I believe that Laurie had plenty to do with keeping him functioning.

I agree.

Sounds like the "customer of the year" e-mail you always get when you order from CD Baby.

Peter Bernstein, Victor Lewis & (I guess)Cranshaw give me some hope for this. Anyone care to "review" in its entirety?

O.K. - I ordered it too.

Ok - understood, thnx. So the "complete" takes that are out are unauthorized / illegal / whatever!?! I've never seen more that the 12 I have. Oops - probably shouldn't even say that.

you'll keep getting them (regularly) if you buy from them - remind me of the True Blue catalogues of past Now I received an e-mail with the May catalogue for download. Lots o' stuff.

Everything I have of his I like.

I've listened to all 4 now & I'm fine with them. BTW, I just received what apparently is a monthly catalogue in the mail from Jazz Messengers. Kinda nice.

Last night's episodes of The Good Wife, Mad Men & Veep on my DVR.

I'll try to be optimistic re: this new book. BTW, looks "pricey".

Laubrock / Rainey duo will be here in Santa Fe late in May. Plan to see them.

That doesn't reduce the value of what his family did back in the day.

U.S. shipping is not prohibitive.

I like the entire Dizzy Atmosphere album.

So am I.

Esp. the Stratford Shakespearean Festival one IMO.
